CJ Spiller was not chosen to be a Captain.
Jackson was.
Marrone started Spiller last season and that didn't go so well.
I'd be shocked if Spiller got the majority of the carries against the Bears.

Gotta start Jackson until he proves he can't handle the load. We're in trouble on 3rd-downs though with Spiller in there. His track record on 3rds is miserable. So are Brown's and Dixon's.

The idea that you "won't settle" presumes that you have some kind of control. Delusional thinking at best for a supposed fan of a spectators' sport. Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. 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

Cj will get the start. fred will come in on 3rd and 7 for the swing pass

I hope they use Spiller as a wideout.
"CJ, run down the field as fast as you can in a straight line towards the endzone."

I will blow chunks of chili all over my living room if such a thing happens.
According to the depth chart Spiller is the starter. Jackson will play on most obvious passing downs because of his pass pro and Brown will spell them both.
COMING SOON...
HAMMER (09-02-2014)
Spiller. We need to see what he can do with 25-30 touches before his contract runs out.
Gilmore wasn't chosen to be a Capt. Does that mean Graham is our top cb?

Marrone gave Spiller the start in the first 2 games last year and then yanked him.
If Jackson started against New England, I think the Bills would have won that game.
Maybe he is?
Gilmore and McKelvin to this point have not played up to their first round draft status. Gilmore is a very quiet, reserved kind of guy, and is not the, "team leader," type of player.
Graham and Williams are the leaders of the Bills secondary.
Fred Jackson is THE leader of the Buffalo Bills.
To not start him would be stupid.
Spiller ain't a go-to back. He's a gimmick that the Bills hoped to work into the Tred/Fitz/EJ dink-and-dunk. It hasn't worked. He gets one 25 yard spurt and ten for 2 or fewer.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.
No. Not all the best players are captains. FJ was Spiller's mentor. He's the old man on this team.
Kiko was arguably the best player on D last year. Doesn't mean he would have been the Capt over guys like Spikes or Kyle

Thats why spiller was averaging 10 yards a carry there a couple years back
hot-hand it
Oh no!...We suck again!
Graham is ST's captain.
Regardless of what the depth chart says, Fred has to start over CJ...gotta get positive yards on the first few plays, as opposed to watching CJ get strung out and go out of bounds for a 2-4 yard loss.

Spiller is the starting RB.
Don't Panic (09-03-2014)
FredEx delivers. Nuff said.
Based on the preseason its Spiller. Yet this staff seems so out of touch with personnel decisions who knows.
Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.
He averaged 6 ypc in '12. In that season, he had five 100 yard games. In '13, regression to the mean. You can figure he's good for 200 carries and about 900 yards for a year. No way he can go 25-30 carries a game. He's not built for it.
