BuffaloBillyG Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 If he's open to a reduced role then I'm for bringing him back. He can be an asset on 3rd downs still. His price tag doesn't really scare me as there is plenty of money to spend already. But we do have to have young legs back there.

Scott7975 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 While I wanted them to move on from McCoy last year, I think he is still here next year. 1. because he is considered a leader on the team. 2. because its the final year of his deal and they aren't going to get anything valuable in a trade from him. They wont just cut him. McD is big on having vet leadership for every position group on the team. That person is McCoy.

Remember all the kind words for Peterman... Yeah this title is a bit misleading because it’s not like McDermott said he would definitely be on the roster in 2019. He alluded to the fact but again, he spoke mostly in generalities. Not sure what they’ll do yet but this quote is a far from a certainty that he’s on the team next season
Nelius Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 If all parties are interested then I have no problem with it. Shady's earned one last chance to show that he hasn't completely lost it. I still want them to draft and/or bring in a younger back, ideally someone like Ajayi or Tevin Coleman and not some 30 year old journeyman (watch it be Doug Martin...).

But, I don’t really see the problem in bringing Shady back next year and see how he looks behind a hopefully much improved line in camp and preseason... if he is still struggling than time to go your seperate ways.. Agreed
Mister Defense Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) IF McCoy is back it will be for significantly less money. The Bills should not pay more than 3 million for him and then only if they plan to use him much more as a receiver. It looks like he has hit the wall, but really, not completely clear because of the poor offensive line play this year. I think he is gone, and it will be too bad, as then he won't be here for the next Bills playoff run which is likely coming soon. Edited December 27, 2018 by Mister Defense
CaptnCoke11 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 He pretty much said the same thing about Tyrod last season. Means nothing.

Option 2: They improve the line and McCoy runs better in Preseason and he brings us a 3rd and 4th round pick. Option 3: They improve the line and he runs better. Becomes the on the field coach for the new guy. Im thinking #2 or #3 are possible but #1 is more probable. I saw a shell of the player he was. Not just slower but doesnt make the cuts he used to. Unless restructured none of these have a chance. No one is reading for a washed up 31 year old back. He restructures and stays or hes cut.
BlueandRed Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Blaming Shady for his lack of production is like blaming Josh for his...
billsintaiwan Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 This year was one long setup for McCoy to win the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award next year, an honour that has thus far eluded him.

Saxum Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 He is a better receiver than some of our WRs so I think he will move more into a pass catcher role.

Both were great regardless of their Oline. But he is still quick and fast(IIRC he has one of the fastest TDs of the season). Although he isnt what he used to be I believe he will still be above average behind a decent Oline. Edited December 27, 2018 by formerlyofCtown
JerseyBills Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 I still think he has it. I just think the line has gotten overpowered and he's suffering because of it and stacked boxes

row_33 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Pays him half a million for every honestly useful yard he gains.
DJB Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Id rather we have a vet like Mccoy back there than a rookie and someone else for Allen to have to hold their hand.
