There's no way that the Chiefs backfield is getting that kind of production outside of 20-team leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevinwayne20 155 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Getting the best possible landing spot for McCoy makes the Melvin Gordon news today hurt a little less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brownsfan74 889 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'm thinking of taking him at the 5/6 turn. Too rich? Lot of uncertainty but think about the upside in this offense. No more 8 man fronts, etc. And he's only got to compete really with Damian Williams, a guy who has like 5 good games on his resume, and only got a shot because Hunt and Ware went down.

devaster 4,404 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I think McCoy in the rounds 7-10 is good value. Higher than that is too rich in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raidaz18 447 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Will be the starting RB moving forward, starting week 1 with confidence. Edited September 2, 2019 by raidaz18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no source for this claim. My expectation, not from any source, would be that McCoy would get most of the early down work (maybe 2/3) and goal-line work, whereas DWilliams would get a small amount of early down work and most of the passing downs work (like 2/3 as well). That's just pulled out of my a** but that's my expectation. 😀 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PackerBacker555 943 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Anyone thinking McCoy will get 75% of the carries from week 1 is insane. He just joined the team. It will be at least 2-3 weeks before he knows everything on offense. I think they ease him in anyways Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ace_King 600 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 A lot of people are calling him washed up. If so, why did he look better than Singletary, the fantasy world's darling de jour? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no source for this claim. McCoy has a history with Andy Reid. Look at the contract he got, I don't know of any backup RBs making 4 mill a year when most teams dont want to pay RBs anything. Williams is no doubt a talented back but is not a workhorse. I would expect a 60/40 split for McCoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is being blown out of proportion. The season starts in less than a week. IMO, the Chiefs aren't paying him $4m as a testament to his projected usage, but rather for their familiarity with him, his institutional knowledge, and their need for RB depth. Plus, they have the salary cap space. Also, Damien Williams was signed for $5m over 2 years to be the backup, and at that time, did anyone really know what to expect from him? He was an unknown quantity, and the Chiefs still paid him $2.5m. So why is everyone making such a big deal about McCoy's $4m when he's a known quantity?

Bronco Billy 324 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) FA Contracts are about supply and demand. McCoy had pretty high demand, relatively speaking. So he commanded higher guaranteed dollars. Only the $3M is guaranteed, so the $4M is based upon his hitting $900k worth of incentives - which he may not. McCoy is going to play. They didn’t pay him $3M to watch from the bench and he won’t be playing STs. But right now the time share and situational use between Williams and McCoy (and Darwin) is completely up in the air and no one knows how it will shake out right now. Probably not even Reid - who I think will be playing the hot hand RB this season. That could be any of the 3 any given game.

Stallion 278 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I don't think McCoy is going to do all too much this season, unlike the general consensus on this thread. He was awful last year, is 31 and has a lot of tread on the tires. Father time catches up to running backs faster than any other position. I think he's in the mix for snaps early but gets phased out in favour of Damien Williams the longer the season goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
