He averaged 4.6 yards per carry during that span. So again, you are wrong.

Hey, you guys better not be trying to get any digs in against "the Sanchise"!!!
The Eagles had the highest graded run blocking unit in the NFL an McCoy still only average 4.2 yards per carry. He graded out as mid 20s overall.
Why do you think he graded so low?

For sure McCoy wasn't nearly as effective last season as the one before. I will agree, just from eye test, that he didn't really have a good season despite the numbers. Part of that was the injuries to the OL and ineffective QB play. The Eagles offense was very weird. It was hyper-productive at times and looked just plain bad other times. McCoy was part of that, but it was really the offense as a whole. He's still a really talented runner though, despite apparently grading out pretty poorly. He wasn't getting nearly the space he was getting in 2013 (and idk what the grades say, but that's definitely true).

Not at all. He likely won't ever have a season like he did in 2013, but he should still be an effective runner for another two or so years.
I bet hes more 2014 than anything before being hes now past his peak and has a ton of tread on his tires.
He started the year out slow. First 4 games averaged less than 3 yards per carry. The final 12 games he averaged 4.6 yards per carry. Just because the stats doing suit your argument doesn't change them from being facts.
You said the Eagles won with Sanch despite McCoy sucking. That is a blatantly false statement.
Again, MCCoy was ranked in the mid 20s for running backs. How again is that false?
But the stats show he was mid 20s
Ok, fine then.
week 5 -0.5
week 6 1.9
week 8 0.3
week 9 -1.1
week 10 -3.0
week 11 0.1
week 12 -1.3
week 13 0.2
week 14 -2.0
week 15 0.0
week 16 1.4
week 17 0.9
From week 5 to the end of the season, pro football focus graded him at -3.10.

Here's a tip. McCoy wasn't the second best RB from 5 on or in the 20s. You're both wrong, YAY celebrate it.
He was middling all year. Hovering around average. Not great, not terrible, just average.

Wonder if he will ever post an article/opinion on Hardy with the same tone again, now that he's a Cowboy.

Further proof, however, that Chip is winging it and doesn't really have a plan.
They may cut Mathis.

All I did was state they may cut him.
