Look good, grow, identify areas unable to grow into the role and then replace. 2019 - do our best with our good D and very young O and onward from there always forward and never straight. ? You don't build a culture by picking top 5 every year, I'm hoping we can sneak into the playoffs while developing our younger players. The nuclei is there, best way to develop Allen and Edmunds is by winning.

I think they probably lose to Lions without McCoy. Toss up either way. It just depends on the defense. If they keep the pace they have we could steal a couple more.

I am on the fence about taking the deal if that is the return. I would probably leave it up to McCoy. He might want to go home to chase that ring. Why. They are running an nfl team not a search firm.

RichVP Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 To me, if we get a second and third, we should jump at it. Even if we send a 6th or 7th round pick with shady. With the lawsuit and possible other drama and accusations off the field there is no telling if or when that becomes substantial enough to warrant a suspension let alone hurting his image and play while dealing with it. And if he never regains his form from last year he'll never command this price tag again (He doesn't now unless a team is desperate).

Start Foles let Allen play behind him Well, forget it. Foles nearly retired last year and only changed his mind to work with the Coach. He wouldn’t accept the trade.

Part of the long term is giving Allen some tools to learn with. Otherwise he is learning to loose IMO. They don’t. They are on small, low paying deals. They are fill in and transition. Kyle is for culture and Lorax isn’t getting paid much. In two years when the rebuild is done, neither will be here 2
reddogblitz Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 3 hours ago, Just in Atlanta said: I get the logic. But the fact that so many fans are seemingly WANTING to get rid of our No. 1 offensive talent for future picks IS kinda crazy. I'd be on board for an exchange of a legit WR and an above average offensive lineman. McCoy is still one of the greats in this game. This team will be unwatchable without him or some other talent. Trading him away for only unsure draft picks is a huge gamble. Keeping him is not. I'd trade him heads up for Nick "Buffalo Shuffe" Foles.

Because if you trade him I feel it sends a very tanking message. Whereas if it has McCoys blessing you can spin it as “doing right by the player”.
TheBeaneBandit Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I cannot believe people are actually still writing "well if they offer a 2nd and a 3rd".......I have never witnessed such delusion in my lifetime.......ONE 3rd at most would be a miracle 53 minutes ago, NewDayBills said: Shady could actually be utilized properly, Allen could get into a groove. Alot can happen. We are 2-3, not 0-5. We are very much in it.

Their division is garbage and a team coming off a SB victory is very unlikely to throw in the towel early. I think people are really underestimating that team. Wentz is not even close to 100%. Doug Pederson will get that thing going IMO. 2-4 after week six is not early.

artmalibu Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 If Shady lights it up on Sunday makes the Eagles think about the 2 picks but also makes us feel like we should keep him. Its a no win deal..........

They might make a move even quicker if they lose tomorrow Nfc east isnt that good right now. 9-7 could win that division coming off a super bowl win, the goal is not to finish 9-7 and be one and done in the playoffs. Its a different mindset than making one playoff game appearance in 17 years. 1

I love the conjecture about what he's worth. Right now we're paying him 8.95 mil against the cap, what's a 3rd round pick in comparison to his actual financial value? Point is, what he's "worth" is subjective and completely up to Beane and McD in reality. If they think Shady is worth more to this team than a 3rd round pick only then he isn't worth a 3rd round pick - it's also likely why we asked for a 2nd and a 3rd for reasons beyond just throwing a starting offer out there to work with. Doing so also indicates that he's a guy the Bills value and need on offense, not to mention he was just promoted to Captain. Shady is worth more than just a 3rd, and no way the trade gets done for a 2nd and a 3rd. The most likely trade scenario the eagles would accept however, is for a 3rd round pick, but that isn't necessarily what he's "worth."

Good post. If he wants to go ? then make the deal. and try to make Philly pay through the nose !
