I was reading the headline below it about trading Shady to Oakland for a crack at Mariota.

That would be nuts

I was reading the headline below it about trading Shady to Oakland for a crack at Mariota.

I'm actually sold on Nick, and want Shady too, but Shady's cap number is pretty high next season.

They had me up until teh 2nd round pick. RB's are the easiest position to draft in the NFL. I think Shady is in his prime and his production can only go down.

Yeah, to be honest, I started out really high on Nick, and maybe like him more for his personality and demeanor than his game, (at least his game this year).


But I CAN see Kelly's offense as unstoppable with a true running Wilson type QB, it just adds another dimension that they don't have right now.


I have always liked Shady, but as we have seen, in THIS O, with THESE players, other backs could be just as effective, so as you said, add in his upcoming cost and it does make you go, hhhmmmm.

If anyone thinks that trading McCoy is a good idea, they should punch themselves in the dick.

[Eagle In Ohio]

I'm not saying to trade Shady

So my dick is safe, however if they were going to trade Shady, his cap number would have to be the primary reason

[ishimonster]

The cap number is going to be high

So my dick is safe, however if they were going to trade Shady, his cap number would have to be the primary reason

when you have the best damn running back in the NFL on your team.

Decades of Ratface has really rubbed off on you guys the wrong way. Shady still has at least a few more seasons left, as ELITE. Cashing in when he may very well still be in his prime is ridiculous!

[Birdwatcher]

nah

I'm actually sold on Nick, and want Shady too, but Shady's cap number is pretty high next season.

not for a #1 RB

[Melchior]

I mean

not for a #1 RB

The dude is top 3 at his position. Those guys get paid. I'm not sure what people expect.

[Eagle In Ohio]

Again

I don't want him gone. I do not want him gone. I want shady to stay. I pray to God that he's not traded. I'm just saying that if there was any truth to that rumor, I think that his cap number would be the reason that the FO would entertain the idea of trading him.

I saw that as well, if they pulled the trigger on that it would be 2 steps backwards, I think Mariotta is overrated.

You think that because you don't know much about sports. Watch Marcus play, which I know you haven't, he's the total package.

As perfect as he'd be for the Eagles, and as good as they would be with him as their QB, it's not gonna happen. Teams value 1st rounders too much to trade one for Shady, as good as Shady is, especially when a franchise QB like Mariota is available.

[The Ref]

Mariota has 1st rate college numbers but those in the know (I'm not) claim he really is a system guy. He'd need to be in an offense like Kelly's or he has high bust potential in the NFL. Same was said of Hundley of UCLA. It's not a guarantee that Mariota is going top 5 yet. Still has time to scare scouts, some of which aren't 100 percent sold on him anyway.

I got lost when they mentioned Brandon Bust Graham.
