This is me. I'm not a "wait and see" RB guy.
Fair enough. I think McKinnon is no better than journeyman whereas I’ve been waiting for Chubb’s time for years and appreciate his injuries that allowed me to get him where I did. He’s a true horse to me and I can be patient a year.
I can respect that people like Chubb over McKinnon all day, I think it's wrong but I can respect it. . I'm obviously not a Chubb guy myself, was not big on him before the draft and less so after so for sure it's not a situation where I forecast patience being rewarded. But the mere fact a decent amount of people, myself being one, would prefer McKinnon straight up over Chubb just makes me think giving up a first round pick was to much to pay.
After the picks were made, the trade results were:
It depends where you look. Some sources say he's 26 turning 27 in September. I have no idea which is correct. There's a ton of sources showing each.
Hmm, interesting.
The backs handily for meAndy Dufresne said:
It is actually a pretty big difference. Stupid MFL looks like they are wrong which is the site I use most of the time to look up players age. I have been under the assumption for the past few years he was 1 year younger and had I known he was 1 year older I would have tried harder to trade him last year. That ship has sailed now.gianmarco said:
Kind of tricky because unlike a normal league 1.01 doesn't mean that he was a bad team that is necessarily likely to be a high pick again. It likely means he was a borderline playoff team that just made the cut, and these guys could push him over into the playoffs and the 1.08-1.10 range
Considering how, in this thread, many believe McCoy just falls off the tracks at 29, yeah, not thinking Hyde going to have much value.
That's about right. Depends on who is available at #14 on whether I'd make the deal. Probably wouldn't make it blindly and I have both of these guys in a few spots.
I can see both sides. Slight lean to Adams unless the more pressing need was RB/QB.
I am one who has McCoy falling off the tracks but McCoy's 29 is hardly comparable to when Hyde hits that age. Hyde has played 4 seasons to date and had around 750 touches. McCoy is at 9 seasons and 2600 touches. Hyde will be a rotational RB again this year, or that's the plan. McCoy will once again be asked to carry an entire offense on his back, a feat made even more difficult than last year with the OL losses and what I believe will be major impact of losing Taylor.
The "mileage" thing was debunked here a few years ago. In fact, it showed that guys with more carries lasted longer. Probably not because of the extra carries but because they are capable of those workload and that's why they received the heavy touches to begin with. Thus, when looking at 2 guys like Hyde and McCoy at same age given the difference in usage, McCoy is more likely to have more carries and have a bigger workload in age 29+ seasons.
The more concerning thing with McCoy is that his efficiency dropped off so much last year. 1.4ypc less than the (albeit high) year before, and a career low in YPC at that. That's typically a really bad signal for a 29 year old.
I offered CMC for Mixon before they signed CJ Anderson and got instant rejected so would have to agree.
No doubt. I wasn't trying to say he's going to do well or have some career resurgence. Just that he's more likely to get workload and be relevant based on the study I read, IIRC, than someone that has less career carries.
