I dont know the guy is probably the best running back in the NFL over the past 10 years i just cant quite understand the criticisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know the guy is probably the best running back in the NFL over the past 10 years i just cant quite understand the criticisms. I think I started it and it really was a minor criticism of showboating 10 yards from a TD. Not a big deal any way you look at it. He's awesome.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I also cringed when he held the ball up, but I always cringe the way he holds that ball like a loaf of bread. The announcers said he was watching the jumbo tron and knew he could walk it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 If he plays for another 4-5 years he is absolutely a HoF back. I've been saying it since we traded for him. He is a legit HoF running back. Will probably retire with around 12000+ Running yards, 100 total TDs. 4000 receiving yards He doesn't take many big hits and always shows up to play on Sunday's. He is his own biggest critic I don't see it unless he hangs around as a backup for a while. He's still got it now, but he's a speed guy with a lot of miles who's pushing 30 and is on pace for 400 touches this year. RBs, particularly those that rely on elite speed and agility, tend to hit a wall around 30, especially when they've seen a lot of carries. I'd love to see him beat the odds, but I'd be surprised if he's got more than a year left as a top RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Until this game I really thought Shady wasnt the player he was the past 2 years. Still good of course but just not elite. But this game in my opinion was by far his best and showed why he is still oen of the best RBS in the league Edited October 29, 2017 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see him beat the odds, but I'd be surprised if he's got more than a year left as a top RB. He's pretty smart though. I worry he's going to get hurt but he doesn't take a lot of bad hits. He goes down when he knows he's going to be tackled. Tyrod, too, for that matter. A lot of backs that get worn down after 4-5 years just try to get every yard and their bodies get abused and then they can't do what they did before. Plus the average shelf life of running backs is a distorted stat. A lot of RBs come out of nowhere and beat out veteran guys. It's a position where you save money on having two young or nobody backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's awesome. For sure. He certainly has swag and that isnt everyones thing. As long as he keeps running like this though Im okay with pretty much anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see him beat the odds, but I'd be surprised if he's got more than a year left as a top RB. He is not your typical 29 year old back He doesn't take big hits and has way more left in the tank than you believe. He isn't a speed back , he is elusive and that is innate . He will still be very good at 31,32, I'd be willing to bet. His style is very efficient, his body doesn't take much abuse compared to other backs like AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I love Eric Moulds, but McCoy has had a much greater impact on the game. It's not even close. Eric Moulds would've been a sure-fire HOF'er if not for the teams he played on. He put up 10,000 yards receiving, tons of receptions & 50 TD's when he had to play with some of the crappiest QB's in the league. He played under what, a dozen starting QB's minimum, and however many offensive coordinators, yet still put up those numbers? McCoy has had a much better supporting cast but has never been DOMINANT except for a single year. He's not a HOF'er unless he puts up a few more GREAT seasons. His stats don't separate him from many others, nor does his body of work on the field outside of pure stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 In terms of talent, maybe. It's a close one with he and Orenthal. On-field-greatness, Thurman has him, hands down. OJ had wayyyyyyyyy more talent than McCoy and that is no knock on Shady: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 No one holds a loaf of bread like a football player holds a football when he is holding it like a loaf of bread. Never happens. You never see a shopper holding a loaf of bread in one hand, squeezing it, with their arm extended out. Ever. he uses it for balance i might presume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The most impressive part by far is how much the D has to focus on him due to our lack of other weapons. Its not like hes one of many. Hes the guy and everyone knows it and he still manages to make defenses look stupid. Its amazing. When we first traded for him my gut was he wouldnt last long. Hes doing a ton and doing it without a ton of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
