Murray lead the league in yards before contact, if that isn't the judge of a line, I don't know what is. McCoy is one of the more dynamic offensive players in the league. I'm floored people are saying the Eagles got the better end of this deal. Then again there is never a conscious on any topic on this board.
Extremely disingenuous of you considering Murray led the NFL in rushing by a wide margin. Also led in yards AFTER contact. Why leave out that fact?

As far as value in the trade, no question Philly wins there by a ton.

It's interesting because there are rumors that NYG is interested in Suh. Man, two divisional rivals could really drive up the price.

Giants in a tough spot now after franchising JPP I believe they have around 13 mil in cap space so I don't think they will be part of the equation.

True, but I think NYG wants to sign JPP long term. I bet it happens.

Cause they got Kromer to fix the o-line?


They'll be fine, McCoy with Jackson spelling will be a great 1-2 punch and their D is primed for a good season. Like I said, I like the Bills and I would like them even more if they had a QB.

Fair enough, I'd take McCoy over Murray 8 days a week.

Eagles win this one for now. McCoy wasn't terrible last year, he was bothered by a decimated offensive line at the start of the year. Once the line was healthy, he came good again. Was able to snatch him from a guy in my FF league because of that slow start and coasted to a championship.

Alonso is coming off an ACL tear...If he is fully healthy and he returns to playing the same way he was before he got injured, it will be a good deal for the Eagles but I am not a fan of trading an elite player for an injury prone player with potential(has had other serious injuries before).

I'll go with the safe bet and say still no playoffs for them. How long has it been for them? 15 years?

Wow.

Wonder if they're making a move for Suh.

Don't think so. The would rather extend Fletcher Cox and drastically upgrade the secondary.

IMO Maxwell is already theirs.

I'm guessing the Eagles draft a north south runner in the draft and go into the season with Sproles and the rookie. Chip thinks his offense can make any back special.

The Eagles are going to binge on free agents.

Trade up for Mariota, offering Foles and the farm.

Chip Kelly will build Oregon east.

Probably exactly what they'll do plus make a push for Mariota.

McCoy is great, but clearly this move for Philly was about more then getting equal or better value, there's a bigger move(s) in play.

Also, IMO, in their respective sports, the worst positions to invest in are:

Football: RB
Hockey: Goalie
Baseball: relief pitcher

Why? An all-star at any of those positions can be very mediocre in the ensuing season, and selling insurance two years later (not that there's....).
