Marshawn Lynch Has Been Traded ...

I'm surprised it took this long for Lynch to be traded to Seattle, Frank. The Seahawks have been after him since the draft. I like this trade for the Seahawks. Nice upgrade and gives them a fine 1-2 punch with Lynch and Forsett, who were teammates in college.

i dont think fred jax owners should be over happy. think there will be more of a split in carries than you think. even at the start if spiller is the 3erd down back with the bills offense there are plenty of 3erd downs.

The current indications are the Bills don't want to overload Spiller. Jackson has proven he can handle the starting role and do well. Plus, there's no reason to get Spiller killed on an awful team. While I expect Spiller's role to increase, I think Jackson's fantasy value has just shot through the roof. He went from getting 2-3 touches a game to getting 15 or so. Plus, he's proven he can do well on a crap team. I think Jackson owners who were stashing him away for a sunny day are about to get a nice tan.

1- can jax stay heathy ?

2- if you were the coach and your job was on the line would you sit spiller if he was doing a better job cause you dont want to overload the poor kid.

3- the fan base who goes to the game to watch a god aweful team i think will want to watch someone exciting like spiller.

4- bills will be behind in second half most of the time. spiller is a thriller in the backfield.

i just think there will be more of a split than you think and going into the season spiller will be the guy. please bring this thread back up after week 10 or 11. i can take the " i told you so "

Not my style Frank. You're assuming Spiller will outperform Jackson. It could happen but again the Bills' coaches really don't want to overload him. They believe they did that before Week 1 and Spiller wasn't ready. I do think Spiller's value will be stronger later in the season but right now I think Jackson's value rises and perhaps significantly. Don't forget, Jackson has also shown he can handle third-down duties so he's no slouch as a receiver.

How many top ten RB's have we seen over the years get alot of opportunity in their first year? Many.

The Bills spent a top ten pick on a difference-maker - let him try and make a difference!
