Vereen or Spiller?

[Brady_Moss]

Both rbs with the same type of style...simple question...who would you rather sign?

I'd say Vereen...go!

 

[Ivan]

Spiller is a much better runner but his price will be quite a bit higher.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Vereen is the better receiver, which is what you would presumably be signing either guy for since they both leave a lot to be desired as runners. I think Vereen's probably better, since within the receiving back role he has better hands and can run more routes.

ill take Tevin Coleman at pick #32 please

I'm not a grammar nazi but you guys are killing me with Vareen. Cringe everytime I see that. It's Vereen. C'mon man it's been four years!

 

[Wheelman]

I don't know who this Vareen guy is. He's not even in the NFL so I'll just take Spiller over some nobody.

I know, dude plays out his whole rookie contract and people still can't spell his name...

Sometimes I think they're just trolling us on purpose.

Spiller fumbles a lot. Sort of goes with his name. He's also of questionable character.

I dont really think they are all that similar, Spiller has really always been the better runner and he hasnt had many receiving yards since 2012

Spiller fumbles a lot.

Ya...he is a lean mean fumbling machine with a total of 17 in 6 years.

Dude...........They're New Englander's in most cases. They spell it like they pronounce it.

Yeah well, if Kevin Faulk had kept an average like that early on, he never would have stayed with Bill.....Then again, the Pats always played with deflated balls to keep fumbles down....

Oh, so his name is Vahreen?

 

[Raymond]

Oh, so his name is Vahreen?

That's exactly right...........the "H" is silent.

Don't you know how much we love you Shane? Don't you know how much YOU love US?!?!

VEreen should be cheaper theoretically, in which case it'd be nice to have him back. He's a great counterpoint to Blount and a (hopefully) healthy Ridley. Borderline SB MVP coming out of the backfield and catching the ball. But...

As a straight-out preference, if money is relatively equal (which it's probably not, esp with Philly now in the RB market)...Spiller. More explosive, he can catch it well enough, and better running the ball. Unless they saw some reason the offensive system would be a problem for him I'd be shocked if the NE brass didn't feel the same way. Not worried about the fumbles...they've fixed it with some other guys who now have SB rings.

Actually, he has played 4 and a half years, not six.

When you average those 17 fumbles into 4.5 years, things become much different. He's had seasons of 5 and 4 fumbles already, and was on pace to put the ball on the ground another SIX times this year (3 over half a season).

If we're actually going to bring up Ridley's issues, then we sure as hell had better bring up Spiller's.

They're not that similar in my eyes, Spiller is more a poor man's CJ2K, and I'm pretty sure he'd demand more carries than Vereen. Shane fits in his role like a glove.
