Bryce Brown anything to see here? (6 Viewers)

[Cheesedawg]

You left yourself no wiggle room with your absurd contention that there is a 0% chance that Brown becomes the feature back in Philly. This "stud" that you are talking about is having a long, multi-week recovery from a very serious concussion. "He should be fine for next year" is also an ignorant statement. I'd rather have a player break a leg than have a serious concussion in today's environment of hyper-sensitivity about head injuries.

You stick with your 0%. I'll stick with the notion that you have no clue. If you watched Brown's play the last two weeks and still think it is unlikely that he becomes a FF force, that speaks volumes. It has nothing to do with me wanting him to be anything. He has left no doubt that he has talent similar to that of the top few RB's in the NFL. It seems quite likely that a team in shambles will find a way to give him an opportunity moving forward.

You'll stick with the notion that I have no clue? Do you have reading comprehension issues? Here is my original post where I made the "0%" comment:

There is virtually 0% chance that Brown is the main RB in Philly next year, and I'd say a less than 5% chance that he is traded anywhere & becomes the main RB.

You do understand that by posting that there is "VIRTUALLY 0% chance" that I am leaving open the possibility (however slight) that Brown might be the main RB, don't you? So how exactly, did I leave myself "no wiggle room?" YOU are the one who keeps speaking in absolutes, with comments like:

they WILL find a way to get this guy touches.

and

Bryce Brown HAS to play.

Those definitive statements (which are probably based on your desire to see a WW pick up turn into a FF stud for you) leave "no wiggle room," and yet you ignorantly try to paint me with that brush.When you are ready to discuss the topic objectively, without your bias, I'll be happy to continue this discussion, otherwise, we can just bump this next year, when McCoy is recoverd from his concussion, starting, getting the majority of the RB touches, and when Bryce Brown is still in Philly as his backup (because that is the most likely outcome).

LMAO at an idiot who says 0% isn't 0!You cling to your concussed Shady and keep that head in the sand! Good luck with that.

LMAO at the idiot who can't read, even though it's been pointed out to him twice.Hope this helps

Virtually means: for the most part; almost wholly; just about

So saying there is "virtually 0% chance" means it is extremely unlikely to happen.

Cue Lloyd Christmas "so you're saying there's a chance."

Never mind, strike that last part; you get confused easily.

Let me guess...you work for Obama? Or maybe you ARE Obama?! You certainly are equally as good at saying one thing that is 100% false/ridiculous and then accusing those who point that out of being dumb or deceptive.Obama is focused on the top 2%. At least that moron was smart enough not to paint himself into the 0% corner.

Interesting thread and theories being thrown around here but one major factor everybody is overlooking is that there will be a new coaching staff in Philly next year.Its tough to speculate what the future holds in Philly until we know who the coach will be. I will say that McCoy is a special back that match Andy Reid's offense perfectly. Now how would McCoy's skill-set translate if the new coaching staff were to bring in the Houston run offense which I think would be better suited for Brown's running style.

As for this year and this is just an opinion but with what is happening in Philly with Foles,4/5th of the starting O-line hurt and the mess we call a defense, the Eagles are going to shut down McCoy and place him on IR within the next couple of weeks. OK, this is what i would do. Let McCoy take the whole off-season to get is head straight.

Excellent points.As some have alluded to it in this and other threads, how Reid is handling Vick's concussion may foreshadow what goes on with McCoy. It has been suggested that Reid is in "must-win" mode to save his job, but Reid doesn't see it that way, at least with regards to Vick's concussion. Here is what he said today as he announced Foles as the starter for the rest of the season even as he thinks Vick will be able to advance to being able to the #2 QB on gameday:

"Reid said the decision was made in part for Vick's long-term health.

"I think, where we're out, with the season, it gives this kid an opportunity to play and finish it up," Reid said. "He's playing well enough that I think he can win football games for us. Where we sit at this position in the season, it's the right thing to do."

....

Vick will likely be the No. 2 quarterback when he's healthy. Reid emphasized that Vick's concussion recovery has taken a long time -- Vick is still at the fourth phase of a five-step process and has not passed his ImPACT test -- and wants Vick healthy enough to have a long career.

"He still has three, four years that he can probably get out there, wing it, so let's get him healthy and on right direction there," Reid said. "

Here is the link: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Andy-Reid-names-Nick-Foles-the-starting-quarterback.html

I can't see them treating McCoy any differently.

 

[replacements]

Own Mccoy, not Brown. So yes I would prefer Mccoy comes back and resumes his roll as "The Man"

Brown has obviously been very impressive. Compared to Mccoy: He seems to hit the hole harder than Mccoy, and actually looks more explosive. I don't know both players combine numbers. But I have seen Mccoy get into the secondary several times this year and get tackled just short of the endzone. If Brown can get his ball carrying issues worked out, I believe he may have the talent to have a better career than Mccoy. Unfortunately we may never know because he will likely be stuck in a timeshare for a good portion of his career. I have read most ofthe arguments for one or the other to be traded. I don't buy any of them, barring a rediculous offer for one of the backs. There is no good reason for Philly to deal either guy. They are a better team with both guys on their roster.

The only real concern regarding Browns future in the NFL is his ball carrying. I see many people saying that with a new coaching staff that Brown could make his impression and take over. I just can't see it. I feel his best opportunity would be if Reid stayed. There are not many coaches as willing to overlook turnovers as a major negative like he is. Depending on who comes in, Brown could end up buried behind lesser talent if keeps carrying the ball like he is. If he played for Coughlin he probably doesn't sniff the field. What coach wants to use a fumble machine as a goal line back, when the defenses are most likely to really rip at the ball. And since he has already established himself as a fumbler, every team will work even harder to pry it loose. Which will make it even harder to over come the issue. That all said, I see the talent and wish it were on my roster. Potential is huge.

The Philaldelphia Inquirer confirms Bryce Brown will likely be a "part of the offense" even if LeSean McCoy (concussion) returns.

The three costly fumbles aside, Brown's play over the last two weeks has given the Eagles a flash of positivity. Showing unique burst and acceleration, the seventh-round rookie has smashed records while rushing 43 times for 347 yards and scoring four touchdowns in the last two weeks. McCoy is currently in Phase 3 (out of five) of his recovery and won't be rushed back with the 3-9 Eagles in full-blown evaluation mode. If Shady does return this season, he'll be sharing the load with Brown.

As a McCoy/Brown owner, this scares me the most. Either one of them is a must-start alone, but what if Shady comes back and they split carries?Also, I'm not so sure the comparison with Vick holds. First of all, concussions aren't like other injuries in that recovery tends to be binary. Either you pass baseline tests and are cleared or you aren't. So if McCoy is healthy, there's no need to ease him back in or hold him out a little longer just to be sure. Second, everyone knows Vick has played his last game with the Eagles, so the team has no reason to try to keep him happy. McCoy, though, is a franchise back, who probably wouldn't take too kindly to being a healthy scratch while a hotshot rookie takes all his carries.

Add it all up and I think you're looking at a situation where, once McCoy passes his baseline tests, he comes back but has to share a lot more carries. In the 10 games he's played this year, McCoy has averaged 22 touches and 100 YFS. I could definitely see that dropping to 15-17 and 70-85, possibly even lower. That takes him from RB1 to RB2.

From a human perspective, I definitely want to see McCoy recover quickly. I would never wish a Morneau/Crosby situation on anyone. But from a fantasy perspective, I'm thinking, "No rush, LeSean."

I think most Eagles fans have felt this way all along. Vick is already benched when healthy and they've already made a long-term commitment to McCoy. The organization has acknowledged where they are in the season (hopeless) and Andy's quoted as wanting Brown to get game experience to correct the fumbling issue.I suspect McCoy will be back in a week or two as the starter in name only with a significant time-share with Brown (and maybe others like Lewis and Polk). Hello 2013!

 

[DiStefano]

Screw all this fruitless speculation about 2013. What I want to know is if Brown can carry me to the title this year. He's been gangbusters in the two games thus far, and has assured my place in the playoffs.

Pretty sure any speculation(this year, or next) will be fruitless.Who really knows at this point.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

I don't understand the upside of playing McCoy this year and I see a lot of downside, much of it already covered here. If he does play knowing there's nothing to play for and he gets his bell rung again, the backlash will be severe, whether focused on the coaching staff, the front office and even the NFL. The NFL's efforts to get control of the concussion problems are not trivial. They present a longer-term threat to the sport with ramifications that we may not even be tracking or able to discern today (e.g. youth participation in football).

Disclaimer: Brown owner.

 

[delusional]

What we are seeing is not out the norm for Reid. He has done this in the past when his QB & RB go down. He changes to a more consistent & balanced gameplan. One that alot of people have been calling for a long time from him. The bad part is after a few games, he will revert back to his pass heavy inconsistent play calling.

Brown is someone to hold onto though if you have him in a league. Whatever coach is here next season is more then likely going to use the ground game more then Reid has. You SHOULD see both McCoy ( starter ) and Brown getting almost an equal amount of carries/touches a game. Thing is this hsould be the focus of the offense. Let these two dictate the offense while Foles plays more of the game manager type QB. Where you won't need him to throw 30-40 times a game. Let the RBs be the 30-40 times a game side of things.

I liked what I seen out of Brown most the season, what surprised me the past two games is really how freaking fast this guy was. I didn't think he had that speed to hit the outside like McCoy has. Boy I was wrong lol. He reminds me of a fast Eddie George. Maybe even a Bo Jackson type player ( not comparing him to Bo but using his running style as an example ). This is probably one of the best steals of the drafts in a long time, especially for the Eagles. If he gets his fumbling corrected, he could start on for at least 25 teams in this league

For the rest of the season though, ride out Brown. The Eagles have no choice, he is one of the main reasons they were even in the past 2 games.

43 carries 347 yards, 4 TDs, 8.1ypc, 8 receptions 25 yards ......in 2 freaking games

ps - there is no upside to bringing McCoy back this season. He is a young guy, you don't want to rush him back from a concussion in a losing season.

After watching Brown play Bo Jackson immediately came to my mind. Bo was faster, but not much. But both have wiggle and can punish and they both can fly. Again, not to bust on McCoy, he is great, but I just think there is something special about Brown. Another comparison is Herschel Walker. Just a very big, very strong, very fast and enough wiggle when you need it runner.

 

[chad in Indy]

Not comparing talent but AP had bad fumble issues his first couple yrs too. I don't think brown will fix the fumbles this yr. it's a muscle memory thing that will take practice and reps of carrying the ball high and tight. I'd really like to see one more week of Brown against Tampa and see how he does against a fairly good run D.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Brown hype is spiraling out of control.

 

[I Am the Stig]

Hype was three weeks ago. This is reaction to actual outcomes. Overly enthusiastic? perhaps. But McCoy has only rushed over 100 yards 3 times this year. HE has been pretty pedestrian and perhaps the hype surrounding him is overblown instead? (This year)

I don't have the link as I'm on my phone but Reid has said that Bryce needs in game reps to help fix the fumble problem. So I don't think this is a coughlin type situation where if you fumble you are relegated to the bench for four weeks.

 

[Isotopes]

Tough matchup for Bryce this week (assuming Shady is OUT). The Bucs run D is fairly stout, at least compared to the pass D. It really does seem like Bryce's production has made him a must start regardless of opponent, but I wish he played for Tampa right now and could face his own defense...

Nope, I don't think many are concerning themselves about the long term right now, at least I'm not. Playoffs are here and this guy could be the key to a lot of championships. He's hung 60+ points in his only two starts, which happen to coincide with the start of the fantasy playoffs. I'm thinking here and now. And he's a beast..

If Shady sits, hes a must start. He's had 43 carries, 4 tds and 350 total yards in two weeks. Yeah sure he might disappoint against TB but don't outthink yourself here.

I was talking about future value. His current value is implied for as long as Shady is out and very much justified at this point in the season. He'll probably win people some fantasy championships. I already commented on the fact that he's a beast but I feel like people are forgetting he has fresh legs and it's rather late in the season. No one knows what he can do for a full season. I have however seen what Shady can do over a full 16. I just feel like the speculating is all a bit much.

 

[unckeyherb]

I think the fresh legs thing, while pertinent, is not as big a deal as its often made out to be.

[SameSongNDance]

No definitely not. No RB can rush for 150+ yards in back to back games on fresh legs alone, you clearly need to have talent. It's also possible that he can indeed beast through a full season. I just can't to jump to any concrete conclusions about his future after two games late in the season. TB should be a nice test this week. They've only allowed AP and ALMO to go over 100 yards on the season.

I got to disagree here.His current value is what it is and not really worth mulling over. He's a stud, he's a must start in your fantasy lineup. This should be a given and will only require re-assessment if/when Shady returns this year.Dynasty value is IMO where the real intrigue lies. I assure you BB owners are concerning themselves with it and so are Shady owners. We all play for championships and right now there are only 1-2 backs I'd prefer to start over BB while Shady is out but unearthing a stud in dynasty is like finding a gift that keeps on giving.

Some people don't know talent when they see it.

Too concerned with what experts say, where they were drafted and who's currently ahead of them.

Things change quickly, especially at RB.

He absolutely can. He got his owner into a bye (vs. me), and it's allowing him to start a FA scrub as his flex who can put up 30+. If he continues this pace he'll be on a lot of championship rosters

 

[Sarnoff]

I think the fresh legs thing, while pertinent, is not as big a deal as its often made out to be.

He does have a lot less career wear & tear on his legs, correct? Compared to some guys who spent multiple years grinding it out in college, he should have fewer miles on him.

I was referring to in-season 'fresh legs'. People always point to a guy that starts to get more carries halfway through the season as having an advantage because his legs are 'fresher' than those of defenders that have played 5-6 games. I'm sure there is some effect, but I don't believe it is as impactful as some make it sound.

Tampa is only #1 in rush defense (yards allowed) because they are dead last in pass defense. Don't know why people look at ranks without actually reading into them. TB is also 17th in fantasy points given up to RBs, and have allowed 9 rushing TDs this season.

That could be the case since TB will probably be up early on Phillips. But a lot of Browns big runs have come out of shot gun, so we could still see some action on less carries than usual.

@Jeff_McLane 12m Andy Reid: McCoy and Vick still haven't passed concussion test.

LeSean McCoy is still having concussion symptoms.

This virtually rules McCoy out of Sunday's game against the Bucs. As of Monday, he was in the third phase of the five-phase recovery process. The Eagles probably prefer to keep some wear off of McCoy's tires while letting wildly impressive rookie Bryce Brown continue to spread his wings anyway. We can't be certain that Shady will be back at any point this season and if he is, he'll form a timeshare with Brown

Reid said McCoy will not practice today. With 2 games in the next 8 days, I think it is safe to assume that Brown will have the job to himself until at least week 16.

Reid is broaching the subject of McCoy not returning at all this season.

This from twitter an hour ago: ‏@EaglesInsider Reid did not rule out McCoy returning this season, but he still has to recover from the concussion. #Eagles

Let's face it, he's faced two poor tackling defenses so for. He'll get his true test this week with Tampa. #1 rush defense according to MFL.

Tampa is only #1 in rush defense (yards allowed) because they are dead last in pass defense. Don't know why people look at ranks without actually reading into them. TB is also 17th in fantasy points given up to RBs, and have allowed 9 rushing TDs this season.

He didn't rack up all those yards because they were poor tacklers. They couldn't catch him to try to tackle him!

Still in Phase 4 of the concussion program, LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick have been ruled out for Week 14.

McCoy was sent to the concussion center in Pittsburgh, which is never a good sign. He's been very tired at night and still has symptoms when active. Neither player has passed his ImPACT test, though both are taking it again on Friday. Vick is working out at a high level, but his reaction time is still an issue. We wouldn't expect either player to be available for Week 15. Dec 7 - 1:09 PM

Looks like they'll both be shut down for the year.

Did McCoy take a step back? Not sure whether it was a mistake in the article/tweet, but I thought he was in phase 3?
