re: 2019 NFL - News, Notes and Stats

Just to shed a little light on the money:

McCoy was also being courted by the Chargers and other teams. Chiefs had to pay up to get him. They know the market is tight for RBs with experience that can catch and pass protect. They went out and got him at market price

Williams signed his contract on 12/27. He had exactly 36 carries and 19 catches with 5 total TDs at this point after Hunt had been cut. He hadn’t finished the season yet, and he had yet to have his two big playoff games. Then he came out and totes the rock 25 times in the first playoff game with 5 catches and a TD. Then second game he scores 3 TDs. He and his agent made a bad move and signed too early. Nobody knew he’d be a stud in the playoffs and he signed too early for small cash

Judging this situation by money doesn’t make sense with the above. Judging by stats doesn’t either, McCoy is 31 and has played 10 years of football and has an injury history and had his worst season in years last year. Chris Ivory came in as his backup last year and was more efficient and effective, so you can’t just make the case that the Bills were bad. Williams was a monster in the playoffs and looked like a great fit in the offense

The main case for McCoy over Williams is familiarity at this point. But to me that’s a great case for him as a backup to Williams and will play some downs in relief of him. I don’t think McCoy gets the majority touches based on that familiarity with Reid

McCoy sucked with the bills. Damien Williams wasnt shite with the dolphins. Chark west, knife Davis, Spencer Ware. Can’t do shite elsewhere. The data is there, this is the best RB system in the league going back to Duce Staley and Brian Westbrook. If McCoy can’t get it going here then we can declare him done

Exactly. If Shady has anything left in the tank, this is where it comes out.

As a guy who has none of Dam and only 1 share of Darwin, that’s exactly right.

when you shite on a stat that includes derrick henry and kareem hunt then pimp stats that include derrick henry and kareem

i aint trying to argue with you in this thread, you were the last post in the thread. you're opinion is noted

Elusive rating is a snapshot of what a RB can do beyond the help of his OL and scheme. For instance, Hunt was an elusive rating and forced missed tackle beast dating back to Toledo. These are independent of system and OL.

I also think Damien Williams is a good player, i dont have an agenda here. He's always been an adept pass catcher. But Reid's system has always lent itself to being kind to PFF RB analytics, including Charles, Hunt and Ware before him. That's kinda the point with McCoy getting a shot there. Take off the blinders

Idk I’m just not seeing the reason for McCoy starting over Williams or even getting a significant number of touches

Zeke signing imminent

Zeke not likely to sign before week 1

Zeke and Cowboys close to agreement, should be ready week 1

All that shite we said earlier, is...shite. Zeke signing before week 1 is 50/50



Stop playing with my emotions!

the Rams fricked up the RB market on this, no one is gonna get Gurley money again, was a mistake by Rams front office.
