Nick Foles or Bob Griffin/Kirk Cousins?
Chip Kelly's O or Jay Gruden's O?
Riley Cooper and a rookie competing with you for targets or DeSean/Garçon and Andre Roberts competing with you for targets?
I'm happy Maclin is playing well, I was a strong supporter of signing him over Cooper if it was an either/or, but me thinks this post has a very strong anti-DeSean agenda. Maclin is in a much better situation than DeSean and Garcon, he should be having a better year.

I'm not sure their situation is that much better. Those are 2 good WRs, and they also play with a good TE in Paul and a good RB in Morris.
I'd say their Oline is about the same, being that we have all backups in right now.
Where Maclin has the decisive advantage is in the system, IMO.
If it's the system then the real comparison will be Mac this year vs. DJacc last year.
Part of me wonders if the lack of a super speedy receiver like Jackson is allowing defense to key in more on LeSean McCoy. McCoy's production is definitely down so far this year. I guess the problems with the O-line haven't helped either.

It's not so much anti-DeSean, I just felt like a lot a people were dogging Maclin this offseason. And you realize that works both ways, right? When you have good receivers across from you, it gives you more opportunities and mismatches.
Edit: I didn't make the highlighted graphic, I just grabbed it from somewhere.

Well, I can definitely say I wasnt a Maclin hater, like I said, I would have packed Cooper's bags for him if he had to go to make room for Maclin.
My point is, if DeSean has a bad year, I don't think that's cause for saying he stinks. Different situations for both guys. Neither is Megatron, Green, Julio etc. Guys like that, the situation doesn't really matter, they're gonna ball. Both of Mac and Jacc are more successful depending on the system/situation they're playing in. I think, QB especially, Mac is currently in the better situation.
I think McCarthy's point is valid, let's see how Maclin's numbers stack up to DeSean's from last year at the end of the season. They should be close if not better.
