I remember him signing with Tampa, but it wasn’t one of those things that stays in the front of your mind. It was the type of signing where you hear it referenced at a later time and you then recall it having happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF POON Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 One of my favorite Eagles players, I wish him all the best. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmac+djaxallday Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Would be willing to bet there's a big race/age divide between Eagles fans on this one, as there probably is for that whole era of Eagles. Don't think he's a HOF, but boy was he box office when he was going. Him playing on the same offense as Vick, Maclin, and DeSean was illegal and I'm not sure we'll see anything like it again. Also would not be surprised to discover he has some sort of legitimate ego disorder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KINGnabb Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 So Happy for Shady. Congrats and so happy you came Home. The Snow Game will forever be legendary. What a career should of never left. In the end you walk away with not one but 2 rings. Including one with Andy to bring it full circle. Thanks for all your hard work Shady. Hopefully they can pull this with W for your retirement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyote Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Those were some good seasons. We had it good here a long time. Might not see days like that again for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 A huge number of the people we cheer for are supreme dbags…I find it interesting that Mccoy is the unlucky dbag who gets hated for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big___Al Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Shady lived up to his nickname. No way should the Eagles honor him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 He was one of the best Eagles RB's ever, I'll give him that. He was also a pretty **** human being, too- which diminishes his "retire as an Eagle" attraction for me. I also started hating his dancing around, instead of running more north and south towards the end of his time in Philly. He tarnished this moment for me by being a D bag, so I'm not all excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall when we played Buffalo in 2015, he and Lurie embraced on the field before the game. Lurie was frisking him for weapons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterson put up 600 yards last year at 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkGreen Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 They should make him suit up. He'd have the most RB team yards for today. I also know now why they changed the way players can pick their jersey numbers. Too many numbers have been retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerolithe_Lion Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Pro Football Reference has an equation that accumulates the statistical accomplishments of each player, weighs them accordingly, and assigns them a number... their Approximate Value. Here is a list of Running Backs, their stats, and how they compare to Lesean Mccoy: Name Rushing Yards Rushing TDs 1000-yd Seasons Years Led Rushing Total Yards Years led Total Yards Total TDs Pro-Bowl All-Pro PFR AV Ricky Watters 10643 78 7 0 14891 1 91 5 0 122 Tiki Barder 10449 55 6 0 15632 2 67 3 1 121 Roger Craig 8189 56 3 0 13100 1 73 3 1 115 Fred Taylor 11695 66 7 0 14079 0 74 1 0 109 Lesean Mccoy 11102 73 6 1 15000 1 89 6 1 104 Ottis Anderson 10273 81 6 0 13335 0 86 2 1 98 Herschel Walker 8225 61 2 0 13084 0 82 2 0 97 Steven Jackson 11438 69 8 0 15121 0 78 3 0 93 Priest Holmes 8172 86 4 1 11134 2 94 3 3 91 Corey Dillon 11241 82 7 0 13154 0 89 4 0 91 Eddie George 10441 68 7 0 12668 0 78 4 1 89 Point of this list? Not a single person here is in the hall of fame. Some have gotten close, many haven't. And most of these guys have been eligible for a LOOONG time. Statistically speaking, Lesean Mccoy had the same career as Ricky Watters. How many people feel he's been shafted for the hall? I was a huge Mccoy fan when he was here, but it's hard to differentiate Mccoy as the clearly superior back amongst all these guys. Different eras and different types of backs, yes, but just saying he's a 10,000 yard runner or he made a bunch of pro bowls doesn't automatically make him a HoFer. No one cares how many Super Bowls he won sitting on the bench. The things that will make you stick out are being Joe Montana's starting RB in his Super Bowls (Craig). Winning an Offensive MVP, multiple All-Pros, nearly 100 TDs (Holmes). Most 1000 yard seasons and total yards from scrimmage of any RB not in the hall (Jackson). And those accolades still weren't good enough for them either. There's a waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutsona25 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 McCoy is my guy. I can only assume most of you hating on him were the same people that stopped rooting for the Eagles while Vick was on the team. Only explanation. Bunch of nerds mad that a guy put out spoilers on a movie and tipped a server 25 cents. I'm not saying he's a nice guy, but all of his off the field "issues" were innocent BS. There's a guy with 22 pending sexual lawsuits in the league, and you think Shady is a POS? Calibrate your moral compasses. That said, happy to see Shady retire as an Eagle. One of the best players to ever play for the Eagles. Love the guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
