There's a reason he got a contract like that, he's fat and out of shape. Id rather go get Red Bryant, that dude is a monster against the run.

I think spiller is a great weapon but we still have other needs that need to be addressed. Plus I want ingram to be "the" back on our team. None of that nonsense where we have 3 guys getting 8 carries a piece each game. Plus, not having a guy like that makes our offense more unpredictable. Far too many times when we had sproles did our offense become predictable. Team knew it was either a screen or a pass.

CJ Spiller has missed 9 games in his career, 6 of them last season, just saying.

I have to admit that stat shocks me.
I thought he had missed far more games than that

That's because he is always on injury report. Plays games but something is bothering him (ankle sprain, hammy...)

This is true, but not sure that's not true of most RB's

At least he's tough and plays hurt

^As I said before, he played for the Buffalo Bills. He was never given the opportunity to really succeed with a offense that punted a lot. When a player does not get enough playing time, the chances of injury are a higher. He won't be the bellcow on our team but he has a chance on every possession to do something if the oline is as improved as we hope.

I don't know why people are saying injury prone, he isn't. he played 14 games, 15 games, 2 full seasons and missed 6 games last year. that's not injury prone
