  1. I like the trade..but the one thing that bothers, or maybe I should say, puzzles me: Does Chip Kelly really think that McCoy is done, or useless to him? Love Kiko, don't get me wrong, but I would think the Eagles could have packaged McCoy, and say, some draft picks to move up closer to getting Mariota.

     

    Can't keep up with all the moving parts in these things any more...but is there some financial advantage to the Eagles for trading McCoy now, as opposed to later in the off-season? Is he due some big pay-out if he is still on their roster once FA starts? If so, I can understand it a little, but otherwise, if I was an Eagles fan, I would be very leery of Chip Kelly and all the power he has obtained in Philly.

     

    Kelly seems out to prove that the Oregon Ducks can beat any team in the NFL. I wouldn't be shocked if he slides from being a "genius" to a buffoon in the next two years... he is dumping, and continues to dump, a lot of proven NFL talent, and getting little in return for it.

     

    From what I understand this is more about $$ and the cap hit that Mccoy had on his contract. He was unwilling to restructure that. Also, add in that he was not into how the chipper practiced the team...there was some friction with the coach I am told.

  2.  

    You get arguably the top RB in the game (top 3 at worst), in his prime, locked in for three years. He fits Roman's scheme, can do everything (block, catch, run). In exchange you give up a very popular player, but a guy who's shredded the same knee twice and who didn't want to be here.

     

    It's a win.

    Fully agree with this, particularly if the revelation about Kiko not wanting to be here is true.

  3. This is precisely why we need to somehow and someway find a franchise QB, it takes the sting out of losing players that will be lost to other teams because you can't sign them all. Also, a franchise QB raises the play of everyone around them...it would allow us to pick up some undrafted FA and plug them into major roles on the roster (at least offensively).

  4. Mariota is 6th round talent. Great kid. Good story. Great college QB. He is not Jason White material but he will be awful in the NFL.

     

    You couldn't be further off, MM will be a top five pick and will do very well in the NFL

  5. Fitzy has given them a couple of good games, fools gold...got them thinking that he's not so bad. He gave up three sacks and three picks to the Giants who are not as good as the Bills on D. We should be able to fluster him.

     

    Having said that, Watt is awesome and they will get after EJ. He's got to show some mental fortitude to read a defense and know where the pressure is coming as well as hit some open WR or we are toast again

  6. You guys see MCW's debut with the Sixers? He almost had a quadruple double against the Heat. Really hoping he turns into an NBA star.

     

    Did I read correctly that he hit 4-6 from three? If so, MCW must have put some practice time on his jumper. I don't remember him hitting 4 in a game while he was at the Cuse
