Demarco Murray???

[Birds4life81]

Let's not forget Sproles has GREAT value as a PR as well.

The $12M is probably with prorated bonus. Eagles will have dead money against the cap for Shad y this year.

You were right actually. Looks like the base salary was 9.75.

Bandwagon full again?...lol.

Just got home ... very excited about the Murray move, but I'm hearing that he hasn't officially signed yet. What are you guys hearing up there?

 

[swat]

DOne deal Rey. Him & Mathews.

DOne deal Rey. Him & Mathews.

Awesome ... Jay Mohr made it sound like he was still not "officially" signed and Dallas was still in contact with him.

LOL at anyone who thinks Murray is better than McCoy!

No. Bills fans or staff are not sad about having the "dancer" (which is ridiculous, dude led the league two years ago under Chip and is the leading rusher over five years...durable and doesn't fumble). All the things Murray can only hope for.

Majority here say Shady is too much money? But are happy about spending it on two RB? ...with Sproles snd Polk already in the bank? You're either bias, blind or oblivious.

LOL ...too much guys, too much

...and I seem to recall Shady having a pretty good game in the snow.

Dallas fans are burning demarco jerseys

@Wings.

Show me a McCoy fumble and I'll show you three from Murray.

Seriously. Oblivious.

At this point in their careers -- DeMarco Murray is a far superior runner than McCoy. Despite being a former cowboy, I always respect Murray and his game - dating back since his Sooner days. Pretty upset when the cowgirls drafted him. He's extremely talented, only concern should be the fact that he's coming off a big workload. He should be highly effective in our backfield with Matthews and Sproles rotating in and keeping everyone fresh.

I think McCoy is an excellent back. The problem was not that he wasn't good it was more that he complained. I should be happy you have him. 2 Years ago McCoy won the rushing title and last year Murray did. Anyone that thinks they both aren't great backs is foolish.

We just had to many 2nd & 13's as opposed to 2 & 8's because he is always trying to hit the big play. Maybe dancing is a bad word. Lets use the the phrase, "Negative Yards". We are basically a running team so I am sure we won't have a problem putting up the same if not more rushing yards as a team this year.

 

[TKOSpikes]

So you're not concerned about him always being injured? You're not worried about his fumblitis last year?

Kudos. Not sure how Murray is far superior when Shady destroys him in every concept. And they're basically the same age. And don't give me the career carry stat. If Murray not being able to stay on the field isn't an asset.

I'm not saying the Eagles aren't having a productive off season. It's just funny how so many claim the opposite of everything that's happened in their careers.

 

[swat]

They are both stud RBs imo.

We have one + Kiko.

WE WIN.

Kelly: We thought the three best guys in FA were Gore, Murray and Mathews and we wanted to get two in order to replace LeSean.


HAve respect for my man McCoy. Chip certainly does. He just saw an opportunity to sign FAs & trade McCoy for Kiko. Smart business.

 

[swat]

Kelly: Darren Sproles is a Swiss Army knife, we can use him in a million different ways

 

[The Derski]

Murray makes way more sense than Gore with Chip Kelly's offense anyway.

 

[Iggloo]

We'll see whether Murray does better than McCoy. Murray was better than McCoy last season, clearly, but time will tell whether that was a fluke. Murray does have fumbling and injury issues, but he is a more decisive runner and I think that mattered a lot for the Chippah.

 

[WIZ]

Heard on the radio McCoy led the league in rushes for 0 the last two years. 106 or something? Chip clearly saw them.

 

[Rey]

I think Murray is much better for "this" offense than McCoy. Chip wants a cut it up the field / decisive Back ... Murray fits that mold as he did it all last year. McCoy's much more of a string it outside and look for that crease near the sidelines type Back. I saw pretty much all the Cowpoke games last year as well as every Eagles game ... Murray's only drawback is ball security as he's hard to bring down and sometimes loses the ball trying to get extra yards. Shady doesn't fumble much because he's not a contact type back ... he does a great job avoiding hits, but it's also a drawback when you need the tuff yards. I can't wait to see the Murray/Mathews/Sproles backfield in action.

 

[Rey]

Heard on the radio McCoy led the league in rushes for 0 the last two years. 106 or something? Chip clearly saw them.

He's a guy who looks for the big play way too often .... he eventually breaks one or two per game which makes the final tally solid, but those negative and no gain carries are drive killers.
