BuffaloBillsForever Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 If your going to be critical of the trade I'd suggest paying attention to the contract we assumed and the amount of money Philly saved by making the trade. Kiko was just a throw in, Chip wanted to dump the contract. Chip successfully dumped the contract and went on to sign a misfit in Murray. So the eagles didn't benefit from the trade. Buffalo gave Shady even more money he missed time last year but when he was 100 percent he looked good. Now Lesean is looking at a possible suspension if not worse. The trade hasn't helped either team take a step forward. I guess you haven't read my previous posts in different threads. I have been the most critical of anyone on this forum regarding McCoy's ridiculous contract since the inception of the trade.
Wayne Cubed Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 This is anothe case of the grass is greener. If the Bills called and said "McCoy for Alonso" the Eagles would send over the paperwork before they hung up the phone. No one in their right mind would rather have Kiko than McCoy. <grumble, grumble> Yes but good cheap running backs are easy to find </grumble, grumble> haha

I have been the most critical of anyone on this forum regarding McCoy's ridiculous contract since the inception of the trade. It's the same as Demarco's. Who would you rather have for the same money Murray or McCoy? Edited February 9, 2016 by Kirby Jackson
BuffaloBaumer Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I will never think anything different than build the line FIRST....and then insert anyone who doesn't fumble the ball. I would have been fine with any other position in that trade other than RB. I also could not stand the age difference....
BuffaloBillsForever Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Its the same as Demarco's. Who would you rather have for the same money Murray or McCoy? Neither. I would never pay a RB that money.
BringBackFergy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 McCoy will plead "affluenza"....he was entitled to that bottle of champagne given his two years with Chip Kelly and $20 million salary.
CommonCents Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I guess you haven't read my previous posts in different threads. I have been the most critical of anyone on this forum regarding McCoy's ridiculous contract since the inception of the trade. I'm just going off what I have read in this thread. I'm new around here I haven't seen much debate on the topic. Anytime the trade is discussed $$ needs to be discussed. If Kiko was making 8mil per year this trade would have never happened. It was a salary dump, Chip actually got a high risk high reward player like Kiko. We could only dream of being able to trade Mario for a young injured player on a minimal rookie deal.
BarleyNY Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 It's the same as Demarco's. Who would you rather have for the same money Murray or McCoy? I didn't realize that those we the only options for that money.
KOKBILLS Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 This is another case of the grass is greener. If the Bills called and said "McCoy for Alonso" the Eagles would send over the paperwork before they hung up the phone. No one in their right mind would rather have Kiko than McCoy. Exactly true... I've never been one to over-value RB's...But even still...IMHO that trade was an absolute no-brainer...And I think it proved itself out on the field last year...At least while Shady was healthy it did...

The Big Cat Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Neither. I would never pay a RB that money. That's because you still believe the myth that good RBs are a dime a dozen.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Neither. I would never pay a RB that money. Apparently you do if that's is what the top 2 guys getting new contracts got last year.
KOKBILLS Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 That's because you still believe the myth that good RBs are a dime a dozen. And furthermore there's good RB's...then there is Shady's level which is most definitely a notch or two higher that just good...
John from Riverside Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Neither. I would never pay a RB that money. We know
Kirby Jackson Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I didn't realize that those we the only options for that money.Foster and Lynch are in the same area. After Lynch and Murray come Forte, Stewart, Charles, Vereen, Gore and Spiller. Edited February 9, 2016 by Kirby Jackson

buffalonian Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 @billsupdates Police official to reporter: Maybe LeSean McCoy should stay in Buffalo, 'carry on like an idiot' there http://ow.ly/Y5KC4 #bills Of course. Because Off duty cops in a night club are always on their best behavior. People keep referencing the "police official" who says that McCoy should have stayed in Buffalo. To clarify, he is not a police official at all, but is John McNesby, the head of the local FOP. For context, McNesby once backed a police Lieutenant who was fired by the Philly PD for sucker punching a woman during the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was caught on videotape. In that instance, McNesby claimed that the cop was unjustly fired, in part because the investigation of the incident was not complete. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/10/04/philadelphia-fop-stands-behind-officer-fired-for-videotaped-slapping-of-woman/ Unsurprisingly, he does not seem to share the same concerns here where the alleged perpetrator is not a cop, and the alleged victims are. McNesby has an agenda and does not speak on behalf of the police department, or I would suggest, with any sense of objectivity. Give his words no weight, especially in the context of this situation.
