Yes. jurb wants to pretend that he didn't suggest that when I said 'Foles' efficiency as a QB helped McCoy' was wrong. He then went on to use Michael Vick's 7+ yards/rush over that period as a way to cite how great the Eagles rushing attack was. He never addressed how Vick's running 2 and 3 years ago helps Foles' passing last year.
McCoy has been an efficient runner every year he's been a featured RB, so it is largely wrong. Here are his YPC numbers and rank vs all RBs with at least 150 carries.2010, 5.2 #2
2011, 4.8 #7
2012, 4.2 #15
2013, 5.1 #2
The only season he wasn't in the top 10 was his injury season. He's a proven effective runner with and without Foles.
I never used Vick for anything. I pointed out Philly had a great running game pre-Foles. Hence, Foles didn't create it. I acknowledged Vick was a part of that. Vick and Foles are not the same player. McCoy has proven just as effective with Vick at QB as he has with Foles. He's just gotten less carries. I also never said anything about Vick's running helping Foles. You are making that up. I've said McCoy's running has helped Foles. I've also said Kelly has helped Foles.
Again, what's helped McCoy is that he is finally getting feed the ball more under Kelly and the new system. Kelly has brought balance to the attack and given McCoy more carries. That doesn't change the fact that McCoy has been efficient before he got there. It just changes the total number by adding more carries. Foles didn't bring balance to the system, Kelly did. Prior to Kelly Philly was throwing the ball at a near 60/40 ratio. Under Kelly it was 50/50.
Foles deserves some credit for running the system as well as he has, no doubt. Like I said before, I like Foles a great deal. Acting like he's the catalyst for all this success is simply wrong, though. He's a portion of it. A larger portion is Kelly and the solid system he brought with him and having one of the best RBs in the NFL.
