Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

He's not that old but he is 28 so he has 2 years until 30 when most backs start to go downhill.

Moot point, IMO.

Fred Jackson doesn't have much mileage. Although I don't know what he did in NFL Europe, he still has less than 200 carries in his NFL career.

I think he'll perform at a high level for the entire length of his 4-year contract.

As do I but not as a feature back.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

No way we get rid of Lynch, unless he becomes a major problem off the field. He's a very tough runner, and he and Jackson make a terrific 1-2 combination.

I agree.

I completely favor the 2-back system.

Dominic Rhodes

Rhodes is not that good of a runner.

He was signed as depth, and will provide us with good pass-blocking and a pass-catching option out of the backfield.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

I prefer Lynch stay.. if he can behave. The guy drags the pile better then most RB's I've ever seen, so if we can get improved run blocking from our G's and C I beleive Marshawn will see a significant increase in YPA

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

No way you have to have 2 backs in this league. And we are very fortunate to have 2 great ones

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

I think the Bills figure Lynch has two strikes against him. If he stays clean for the next 3 or 4 seasons, they may just give him a clean slate, but if he messes up again, I think that will be it in Buffalo. Look for the Bills to put him on the trading block as soon as they can.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

All you people are saying is if he get's in trouble again.

If he get's in trouble again the Bills won't be able to get a 7th rounder for him.

Deal him now while we might be able to get something for him before he gets in trouble again.

??? Go check his stat last year before you post.
You might sound like you know what you are talking about.

He is good...had 2 less TD then Lynch and he wasnt even a starter.

The message is clear to M Lynch.
Clean up, put up and shut up.

Right now...he is worth a 2nd and 5th.

Teams dont care much about trouble any more.
Bengals will drool to get him.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

We will decrease our already slim playoff hopes by an order of magnitude with a Jackson-Rhodes RB tandem. Jackson is a nice change of pace back, and Rhodes gives us depth.

But Lynch is the key to our running game.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

Our team struggles enough to get into the endzone. Getting rid of our best scorer would be dumb. Fred Jackson is not as good as Lynch at finding the endzone when were in close. Thats why they got Rhodes.
