Does CJ Spiller exist?

by Steve

That isn't a rhetorical question by the way, does he? Seventeen touches in four games? SEVENTEEN? And don't give me some bullshit about how great Fred Jackson is, because he clearly isn't great.

If my memory and the internet serve me correctly Cliff was the 9th overall pick in the 2010 draft. In eighteen career games he has a grand total of 115 total receptions and carries. If this guy can't hack it in the National Football League what in the god damn did Bud and Chan see in this guy a mere 17.5 months ago?

From the near zero I have seen from this guy in the National Football League the last season and a quarter, it appears he can't run between the tackles. BUT he can run outside the tackle, catch the ball and can score touchdowns (sparingly).

Is there one valid reason why Cliff can't be a larger factor at least in the passing game? Twenty-eight (XXVIII) career catches is a joke. Where are the swing passes, screen passes, even a long bomb off a freaking WHEEL ROUTE?!

Fine Fred Jackson is preventing him from getting enough carries (I guess). But it isn't like Jackson breaks tackles, is effective in short distances, or breaks long runs. I hate to say it but maybe this team needs yet another running back. Where is the chain of pace guy ala Mike Tolbert if these two are too similar?

Jackson is only 215 and Spillsie is 197. Where is the bruiser? The dude that can just truck stick people out there and get the tough yards? Johnny White is a svelte 204 and Corey McIntyre doesn't see the field.

Then again is anything this organization does explainable? Give Clifford the damn ball.
