NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[mrblue718]

try to defend what? you got rid of $11.9 million dollars for a RB whose production dropped off 33% in a year when the best line wasn't intact anymore and got a potential stud LB in return

this was Shady's last year in an Eagles uniform regardless with that salary, not too much to defend really

I think the reason why Shady's production dropped was the fact that Desean wasn't there anymore and Sproles took some snaps away from him.

 

[ny mavurs]

What do the Eagles get besides Kiko?

 

[licensed to ball]

His production dropped 33% because his usage dropped 33%

Let's just not mention the fact that Polk got goal line carries while Sproles got 3rd downs while criticizing his production now.

One minute in your avy, the next minute he's supposedly a bum

did I say he was a bum? pretty sure those words never came out of my mouth

RB is the most replaceable position in the NFL, you must not have watched many Eagles games because Polk didn't start getting goal line carries until late in the season when Shady couldn't get the ball in

I like the move, business wise it makes sense.

It's just funny to see you criticize the production the minute after he's traded. But it's been nothing but compliments and admiration up until now.

It was just funny that's all.

But it makes sense.

Most Tackles in 2013
Vontaze Burfict   171
Paul Posluszny    162
Kiko Alonso         159

espn

Not gonna judge the move until after the draft. If they pick up Gordon or Gurley then the Eagles won the trade. 

 

[Bruce Banner]

Wtf bro why ??? Why ?? Chip Kelly Why ?

 

[Bruce Banner]

Dude tore his ACL last year lol yea Chip about to leave us high and dry smh

I criticized Shady plenty last season so not sure what you are referring to as the minute he is traded

doesn't mean I don't have love for him as a player but this is a great trade IMO

 

[Hahahaha]

The cap space is nice for sure.

Trade a top 3 RB for a good LB coming off a major knee surgery. Thank you Chip.

eagles fans in tears right now

Nah. They'll try to defend the move.

blind homers

The more Oregon players Chip keeps getting the further away from a championship they go

 

[011781]

let's say Alonso comes back 100%, then what.....

let's grade the trade now...

people laughing saying Eagles fans would defend it, yet I haven't seen anyone say why it was a bad trade (aside from the health issue) ... but again, let's say he's fully recovered..

 

[mpire]

Bless the day the Eagles fired Andy Reid...

 

[laker4lifeman]

So who's going to be the QB up in Buffalo?

Matt Shaubb

 

[011781]

Bless the day the Eagles fired Andy Reid...

Chip's first two seasons were better than the last 2 of Andy Reid....

so get out of here with that b....

 

[Bruce Banner]

The Oregon bias lol woow no draft picks just a swap

 

[S4L]

No Shady in the NFC East?

Kiko fills a need but I'm still upset, idc about numbers dropping off. I'm more worried about all these moves blowing up in Chips face if we don't land Mariota AND several top free agents

 

[murkn3m]

now Eagles gotta trade the farm for the #6 pick

Please let this happen!

 

[stillin729]

ANdy was 12-20 his last two years though

Check the Eagles record vs the Cowboys prior to Andy Reid. And then check it after and you'll see why I'm content. Reid has had the Boys number the majority of his tenure.

Take your caught feelings elsewhere.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Sam Hinkie and Chip Kelly in the same damn city, man.

Philly sports radio must not get any breaks with those two savages.

But yeah...should we expect a story any minute now about Shady McCoy being the second coming of Suge Knight? And maybe a spin job on ESPN about how Chip was just trying to keep the crime rate down?

 

[jjs07]

Heard Shady was traded because of gang affiliation.
