Is Chip Kelly light years ahead of others in his style of play and roster making? Or is he on the fast track out of a job. Time will tell.

Bills will still suck (no QB).. yes they have a good defense but they just traded their 2013 DROY (4 votes away from honor)! WTF???

I don't know that the Eagles got THAT much better out of the deal either.

They replaced a LB who didn't play last year with arguably the best RB in the league. They were 9-7 last year, a game manager at QB can get them a winning record again.

Arguably the best RB in the league?
I would venture to say that he was one of the worst starting RBs last season.

It looks like the bills got the better end of the deal but it opened up things for chip to build the roster he wants. You look at free agency and the draft..not a bad yr to need a RB. In that offense I think mccoys numbers (who wasnt that impressive last yr) are easily replaced with also gaining your future leader of the defense. I have a feeling hes gonna be aggressive in free agency and the draft.

I would agree... he's past his prime. Not a RB you build a team around.

He's not even in the discussion for best RB in the league... sorry, he's past his prime. Best RB in the league is Marshawn Lynch bar none (maybe AP on a good day)

LeSean McCoy has proved he can't do jack squat against solid defenses (e.t. Seattle, San Fran)

You don't trade a promising young stud LB (mind you, 4 votes away from DROY) for an above average RB.

He's 26 years old and has averaged just over 240 carries a season. He's still got plenty of tread left. He started slow last season but still had 1300 yards.

He's past his prime yet Lynch and Peterson who are both older than he is aren't?
