HailMary Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 If Kiko was a bargaining chip then why didn't they package him up as part of a deal for another for another position? They could have backed up the Brinks truck to Demarco Murray or explored a value option with Mark Ingram in free agency and use Kiko as part of another deal. Don't get me wrong, I really like the potential of McCoy in the offence but in a year super deep in RBs and some great FA options, why take on the contract and a player that sounds like he doesn't want to be here.
NoSaint Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 ingram isnt half the back -- murray could have been an option but murray would have 31 other options.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Maybe he was only a bargaining chip for CHIP Chip likes his Quackers
nucci Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Exactly....doubtful other teams think that highly of Alonzo as Kelly does.
Chuck Wagon Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I'd say it would be pretty hard to bring back anywhere near the value of Shady by trading Kiko somewhere else. I know we love the Bills and Rex is great and all, but Mario is the only significant FA we've signed in a long time. Can we stop playing the Browns fans game of thinking we'd be players for every marquee FA? Ingram is bad and Murray is going elsewhere if the money is close.
K D Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 if we were willing to trade Kiko then we should have gone after a QUARTERBACK!
Max997 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 i really dont get the complaining by people regarding this deal...McCoy is a top 5 prob top 2-3 RB in the league
CountDorkula Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 if we were willing to trade Kiko then we should have gone after a QUARTERBACK! NO TEAM was trading a legit starting QB for Kiko Alonso.
YoloinOhio Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 NO TEAM was trading a legit starting QB for Kiko Alonso. but #legend and stuff
K D Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 NO TEAM was trading a legit starting QB for Kiko Alonso. Ask the Eagles for Foles and a draft pick. The Bears would have traded Cutler for a ham sandwich
YoloinOhio Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Ask the Eagles for Foles and a draft pick. The Bears would have traded Cutler for a ham sandwichqb value... Is what it is. It doesn't equate to a LB. Draft pick too? No.... Part of why Cutlers trade value is lower is his huge contract. Foles makes peanuts. Edited March 4, 2015 by YoloinOhio
Chuck Wagon Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Ask the Eagles for Foles and a draft pick. The Bears would have traded Cutler for a ham sandwich So you'd rather have Jay Cutler than LeSean McCoy? Maybe it's time to sit a couple of plays out there Champ.
CountDorkula Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Ask the Eagles for Foles and a draft pick. The Bears would have traded Cutler for a ham sandwich Nick Foles. Was talked about being benched for Sanchez before the injury If thats the case we can still get cutler.
BillsVet Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Because not all backs are interchangeable. It's why a guy can excel in a zone blocking scheme and cannot in a power run game.
Maddog69 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 My guess is that the Bills called Philly about Foles. They offered Kiko for Foles and Philly came back with "we are going to hang on to Foles but we like Kiko, would you take Shady?" And the deal got done quickly.
K D Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 So you'd rather have Jay Cutler than LeSean McCoy? Maybe it's time to sit a couple of plays out there Champ. In case you didn't hear, McCoy doesn't want to play for us. And we don't have a QB. You know, the most important position on the team.
bonechiller Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The way this is going, they WILL add a QB, Probably nobody on anyones radar, just like Shady was a surprise. They will not go into camp with EJ pegged as the starter, they are too far "IN" for that, They will have at least one QB better than or equal to EJ to compete.
CountDorkula Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 In case you didn't hear, McCoy doesn't want to play for us. And we don't have a QB. You know, the most important position on the team. Link?
Beef Jerky Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 if we were willing to trade Kiko then we should have gone after a QUARTERBACK! Come on guys common sense here, I know everyone has some. In case you didn't hear, McCoy doesn't want to play for us. And we don't have a QB. You know, the most important position on the team. Can I see the link where McCoy says himself.
