Lesean Mccoy or Doug Martin? Long Term Success?

[PDawson21]

Which one and why?

Shady.. Hes the best human rb in the league

i had to read that over twice haha then i saw you put human, i guess AP isn't human...

agreed, if healthy in this system he will put up BIG numbers

Kelly's offense is going to churn through players like nobody's business

[pryorfan2]

Don't really have a reason but McCoy definitely.

[zonacats8]

Neither

I think Martin's running style and Kelly's system will run both of those backs into the ground well before they should be.

I think they'll both be very good for another 2-4 years, but that will be it and then they'll see a steep fall off, similar to Michael Turner maybe

I would not put much stock in McCoy right now. His success is dependent on one man and that is Michael Vick. We all know how beat up he looked after week 1, and if Vick goes down, McCoy #s go down with him. Foles/Barkley cannot run the CK offense IMO and his numbers will suffer.

All speculation, but worth noting I think for those thinking about picking up McCoy after one solid game. Vick stays in there all year, 2k rushing yards would not be out the question for Shady, but it is a HUGE IF

Martin has a great running style LOL, as does shady...both avoid big hits for the most part.

AP, TRICH, Wilson are guys who have styles that are terrible for longevity IMO. They all seek out defenders to steam roll vs say getting out of bounds.

I should have said Martin's running style in combination with how much he'll be used over the next few years.

Guys like him aren't meant to be bell-cow 25 carry a game backs, that's a recipe for disaster long term IMO

Dougie fresh.

Def McCoy. Although he doesn't possess the power that Barry Sanders had at breaking tackles, I firmly believe he is the only back I've ever seen that can juke and cut like Barry.

[eliteco3]

Which one and why?

shady. cuts like noone else in the NFL. Martin is cool but not like shady

[EaglesDJ10Fan]

Shady, like the above posts, nobody can make moves like he does. Like the move he made in pre season that fooled like5 defenders, then all the moves he put on the skins... His lateral agility is definitely unrivaled.

[The Card Album]

Shady. Why? If you have to ask, you haven't seen him play.

[lagalaxyfan23]

LeSean McCoy without question. I personally believe Doug Martin is a bit overrated after he had one crazy game against the Raiders last year. NOBODY in the NFL makes defenders grab at air as well as Shady does. He's the shiftiest RB in the NFL, and next in line after AP.

[eaglescubs555]

McCoy and it isn't even close. Most skilled player in the NFL.

You will have your doubters on here saying the Eagles are going to blow through players (ignoring how many plays the Patriots run each and every year) or how the offense is dependent on Michael Vick (offense is not reliant on a running QB, see Patriots). One can look at these arguments and think they hold weight, and default to Doug Martin. Those same people overlook the trainwreck that is the Tampa Bay Bucs. They have a mutiny on their hands right now. I wouldn't count too heavily on any player from Tampa at this point.

With all of that said, Shady has to be the pick here. More talented player in a better offense. He has proven he can make people miss even when the blocks are not there. We can't say that about Doug Martin yet.
