Re: Bills talk contract extension with Spiller's agents
He can't? He let it walk right out the door for Byrd, a better player than Spiller and his overhyped lack of all these huge plays we were promised.In the Bills' opening win over the Chicago Bears, Spiller carried the ball twice as many times (15) as Jackson (7) and Dixon (5). Yet, he gained just 53 yards, compared to 61 yards for Jackson and 60 yards for Dixon.
Still, Spiller possess the most talent of anyone in the Bills' backfield and Whaley can't just watch skill walk out the door.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

Re: Bills talk contract extension with Spiller's agents
once a season starts, i'm firmly against negotiating a contract. injury risk is too high. the player is vested in playing. let them earn it. if an agreement couldnt be reached prior to season, take the risk that they have a great season and you pay for it.
you don't pay a guaranteed contract now to remove the incentive of a good season and take the risk of injury.
this isn't to say i don't want spiller, but i think if he has an OJ like season, let's pay him for that. let's not predict that he might get a lot better when the position sees turnover and its a position the bills have historically done well at drafting even during the last 14 years.Comment

Re: Bills talk contract extension with Spiller's agents
No reason this shouldn't get done in my opinion. Give him 4 million a season. That's more than the running backs in the free agent market received last year. Make him feel good by giving him a little bit extra because at 4 million, that's peanuts for a guy who can change a game in one play.

Re: Bills talk contract extension with Spiller's agents
I don't have any concerns about Spiller's motivation. He's always been a team guy that's driven and hungry to win. I hope he gets a new deal soon.Comment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
- Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here
