With EJ Manuel's injury, we are down to starting a practice squad QB against 3 top 10 defenses and a division rival. I think this monthlong stretch will really determine Spiller's value to this franchise, and should be given serious consideration when he becomes a free agent. He's a top 10 pick in his prime, it's time for him to take over a few games and be the centerpiece of the offense. I don't want to hear excuses about stacked boxes. If you are going to be considered an elite halfback in this league, you have to be successful even when they plan to stop you.
This is the month where Spiller needs to earn his next contract

Re: This is the month where Spiller needs to earn his next contract
agreed. i just wish that so many stops didn't come 1yard short of the line of scrimmage because it's hard to fault a back running down hill. it's not like he's dancing back there. Fred is doing somewhat better, but also getting hit immediately.

Re: This is the month where Spiller needs to earn his next contract
Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostWhat kind of contract? While he's certainly a great teammate and an asset, he hasn't looked at all like an elite player this year. I want to see if he's a guy we can build a team around or just a complimentary piece, and this month will go along way to determining that IMO.

Originally posted by NaturalBornSpiller View PostI think he meant he looked elite last year - this year is def another story though he hasnt been healthy as of late. That one TD against the Browns showed exactly what he can do, he just hasnt made those plays consistently this year at all.
Put the offense on his shoulders. If he can't handle it, then I don't think he's worth the megabucks.

For whatever reason he is off to a slow start. I hope he head is clear from all the family stuff he just went through.
If it is then its up to the coaching staff to use him correctly. The Bills need him to play big.

Re: This is the month where Spiller needs to earn his next contract
let's not forget in the wsh pres-sesaon game he came up holding his knee and then was seemingly ok, but played very little. he's been looking worse for wear ever since. hopefully it's not lingering from that.
