Cripple Creek Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Like to see Reed and McCoy win. Still don't like the cut and it cost the Bills, but that's not Shady's fault. 1

Even though McCoy went to a team that he was familiar with the coach & more than likely the scheme in which he was fixing to be a part of # 25 had become endeared to the Bills mafia & has had some good years while in B/lo so i would imagine he super thrilled when he first had to pack up & go ! But what do you think he is feeling now ? I think he has some friends here & good memories but the SB makes the move all better & I bet he's on cloud 9 knowing he will get to go to the Super Bowl & has a really good chance to win it all . I am going to be rooting for the Cheifs simply because of the time they have been out of the running for a SB & the simple fact that the 49ers have had more than enough of the big game in the past ! Plus i would like to see McCoy win the big one & Andy is deserving of a SB for all he has done for the game ! I bet Ragland & Watkins are pretty happy too !! Honestly, he’s an ultra competitive and very proud athlete so he probably has a lot of mixed feelings. Shady is super conscious of his legacy and he’s always wanted to go down as one of the greatest players to play the position. I’m sure he happy to be in a Super Bowl and happy for his teammates but knowing that he might not dress, and if he does dress it will as RB3, has to be a bit of a bummer. How can you think he’s nothing thinking this? I think he wanted to be THE man in the Super Bowl or at least a contributor, not just a player who can’t make it on the field. But at the end of the day if he can add “Super Bowl Champion” to his resume in the HOF that’s all that matters. Also while I’m sure he’s bummed (at least to a small extent) it doesn’t seem like he’s been a distraction this year. So given how he has handled this and the way he left Buffalo, I think Shady has shown a lot of growth as a person.

Good to go to SB, but he would have played in Buffalo. Still think his weeks on the injured list in KC likely would have been the case in Buffalo as well. I think, however, he would have been a good example (maybe not mentor) for the young Motor. Shady in his best years in Buffalo was better than anybody since OJ. (TT was good but not as likely to go the distance as Shady) Um, No. 1

Always played hard and produced at a high level here for 3+ years. Don't know why so many here don't like the guy. Right after the trade went down, it was reported he didn’t he want to go to Buffalo and threatened to not report. But good old Doug Whaley gave him a phat contract to make him happy. To his credit, he did really embrace Buffalo 2

DasNootz Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 No ill will toward Shady or KC. I hope he gets to dress. - on the other hand, Watkins I openly hope fails. 1

John from Riverside Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Glad someone brought this up....... I am a fan of McCoy...I thought he did it the right way when we released him to go to the Chiefs.... I feel like his running style and Singletary's just too close together and time to pass that torch. 2

Jerome007 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I was really surprised the Bills cut him. But... he is back #3 over there? Quite surprising, no? I though he'd be at least #2. At 4M per year that's a lot for a third RB... which means the Chiefs will have that cap space next year. I root for Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, #76, that's why I will pull for the Chiefs. But the 49ers are more balanced.

Don't know why so many here don't like the guy. He didn't pout here because they gave him a fat new contract that made him I believe the second highest paid RB in the league. With that being said I hope he gets that ring I have always liked him. I wouldn't be surprised if he a healthy scratch for the big game.

If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, McCoy at $4 million and Watkins at $16 million will be considered good investments by the Chiefs and their fans. PS: I 'm rooting for Duvernay-Tardif, too.

Nuncha Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Who cares....old slow and wasn't going to contribute here and didn't do much in KC either.

I really liked him while here, but talk about stupidity. For the guy who said Mueller, he’s Caucasian, and about 35 lbs. heavier of muscle. He was a beast back in the day. 1

machine gun kelly Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 He was a lunkhead with that party thing in Philly, but overall after his negative comments before he came here, he was nothing but positive for the years here, so I’m happy for him. He is certainly not McGahee, or Lynch who left so wrong. I don’t know why even if not happy, they just don’t keep their mouths shut and move onto their next team.
davidkski Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Shady had an impressive couple of years in Buffalo before he hit the wall - his touchdown in the Blizzard Bowl vs. Indy was epic. But let's be serious. During his (long, productive) prime, Thurman Thomas wasn't just the best running back in football. There were two years where he was the best player in football. He led the NFL in total yards from scrimmage 4 years in a row. If Marv Levy hadn't choked/been outsmarted in Super Bowl XXV - and ordered Jim Kelly to exploit Bill Belichick's devious 2-down-lineman defensive game plan by giving the ball to Thurman, who was averaging more than 8 years a carry that game - the Bills would have won. The team would've been recognized as one of the great offensive juggernauts in football history. And no one would be tempted to make the misguided argument that Shady was a better/more valuable Bill than Thurman. Edited January 21, 2020 by davidkski 1 1
