Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 In this example McCoy and spikes or kiko, boling, spiller (or some other vet) and searcy when you put it like that, it is a no brainer. i would go boling/frank gore/searcy in a heartbeat.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 That does make me feel a lot better about it. Just read the latest ESPN article where it says McCoy is furious with the trade...I'm always in favor of keeping your locker room happy as a whole. Hoping McCoy doesn't become a cancer for the rest of the team. Hopefully it's just bluster, but then again, an angry McCoy with something to prove on the field isn't a bad thing. He's a moron if the "I've only played in Pennsylvania" thing is the reason True. That's why I tend to think it's either something overblown or an immediate reaction he'll reconsider. I don't think he'd not show up to play for the Bills for that reason, but it's got to be tough to leave a place where he's beloved. And Philly fans LOVE him -- think about that. Philly fans who boo'd Santa and cheer injuries LOVE him. That's a hard trick to pull off. But come on, Shady. Win Buffalo a ring and we'll make you President... of Buffalo.

UticaBill Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Would you rather have CJ + Kiko or Shady with a cap number greater than both combined? (we'll see what CJ gets)This is really tough, since if Kiko comes back and plays like he did before, I think we lose, but if his knee limit him somewhat and shady stay productive for his contract length it looks like a win.... I much rather have traded Kiko for Mike Glennon!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Very bold move by Whaley. i love kiko but im starting to think he wont have a long nfl career. shady is costly but makes our offense that much more dynamic under new OC Roman. whaley has impressed me alot during his tenure. the hughes - shepard goes down as one of the better trades in modern nfl history.

Hoping McCoy doesn't become a cancer for the rest of the team. Can't really blame him. He finds out he's being moved from a winning franchise in a great city (so I'm told) to move to the frozen sub-Canadian tundra of Buffalo where he can join the team that claims the NFL's longest active playoff drought. And he's gotta face Fred Jackson who doesn't too much care for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackel_One Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Character / Future / Affordable = Kiko Need / Impact / Costly = LeSean - Only time will tell, but without a QB, it’s all for not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Simple poll. Time will obviously tell, but let's see the gut reaction of TBD. We were a top 5 D last year with Kiko on IR. I loved Kiko, but fact is, we improved with him sitting at home. I don't see a great or even good QB anywhere in the offing for us, so a caretaker guy with a strong OL handing off to a great RB may be the best thing to aim for the next couple years Edited March 4, 2015 by Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's gotta face Fred Jackson who doesn't too much care for him. I don't think the climate in Buffalo vs. Philly is much different. And I can't see why a RB wouldn't favor being on a team with a ground and pound HC and a league-leading defense over being on a team led by Chip Kelly and a crappy defense.

bonechiller Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I hate losing Kiko!!! But, They have plenty of good linebackers, hopefully they can re-sign Hughes. I don't see a great starting RB on this team before the trade, so it seems like a good move, in my opinion. So, based on need, good move, but damn I liked Kiko!

Thrivefourfive Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 There is absolutely no debate here, Especially given the Bills roster. The question is: What they hell is Chip Kelly thinking??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Monkeyhead Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think in this league Kiko was more of an asset than a RB like McCoy. The kid has football instincts that are not coachable. And those instincts allowed him to play beyond his physical qualities. Shady has speed, vision and balance....definitely a boatload of physical tools that bode well for him in any offense. So long term I think Kiko has more value. But who knows. Maybe the knee will compromise his ability to use his instincts the way he was able to before. if McCoy is now a Bill, we move past kiko and welcome in our new number 1 RB. I'll miss Alonso tho....but our D did not skip a beat without him. And at least we have Preston Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an all time outstanding trade for the Bills. An ALL FREAKING TIMER. It's up to the Bills now to make this count. But on paper, before all the bad things happen that always happen to Buffalo, this trade is unbelieveable from a Buffalo Bills standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
