Most underrated Bill ever.

Fred is my favorite Bill of the post Kelly/Thurm/Bruce era.

I nicknamed Fred..."Heart And Soul", four years ago. He's always lived up to that name because that's what he is to the offense and the team.

Sure of hell is a better choice than Flutie.

Everyone has been trying to write him off since we got Spiller. That stupidly unfortunate knee injury in a contract year where he was on fire, and playing on junk teams probably burned off more potential respect and league wide lovins than I can even imagine. The man should have been more than our best not secret secret.

Ask anyone outside of Buffalo who Fred Jackson is. Most don't have a clue.

And he was underrated by management when they drafted Spiller, and he still is underrated. He's head and shoulders a better back, but Spiller is the starter.

As a Bruins fan I always thought Jackson and Thomas had a similar progression. Both never expected to make it yet beat out guy after guy for the work.

It seems like every era needs at least one player from it on the wall...

Fred has been the one constant ray of light during the decade long **** storm the Bills have been.
