Alonso has more long term value.

They traded a prime top 5 RB.


Top 5 RBs has insane turnover. It's not like QB where there are elite guys for several years.

Exactly. McCoy is still a top 5 back in his prime even if his fantasy numbers went down.

Is that the argument against him?

Crazy to think an All-Pro gets traded for a young LB coming off a torn ACL.

a random arse trade like this just makes me think the Eagles won't hesitate to go after Mariota even if its a steep price.

probably wrong though.

knee jerk reaction.

The Eagles ran the ball like crazy. Total yards says nothing. 18 running backs averaged more yards per carry than McCoy.



How many had 300+ carries and averaged over 4 per carry? 2. That is valuable. 4th in yard per game.

Total yards say nothing? So Jonathan Stewart and Mark Ingram are better than McCoy based on YPC?

So he's a back that has big play ability, can tote the rock 300+ times per season, gives you 4+ yards per carry in a down year, and gives you 1300+ yards every season.

Very average back we're talking about.
Only question that matters is how much will that go down with the next guy they put in? My guess is not that much. Add the fact that they get a very solid running back and 60m in cap space to play around with for more players it is a great trade for philly IMHO


ETA: Should say got a solid Linebacker

He's 26 too


Last time the Jets had a good RB they were giving 31 year old Curtis Martin 371 carries to the tune of 1600 yards

they could always take a pick on RB. This is a decent class.

but are they gonna blow mid round picks in a trade to get a Mariota?

they'd probably have to at least give a 1st and 2nd round pick this year as part of the package.

who knows beyond that.

Looks like it all happened super quickly. I wonder which team made the original call. The tweet sort of implies the Eagles contacted the Bills, and I guess that's more likely since they were supposedly considering cutting McCoy.
