Who Is The Eagles Offensive MVP; LeSean McCoy or Nick Foles?

NickFoles&LeSeanMcCoy1Who is the Eagles offensive MVP, Nick Foles or LeSean McCoy?  With three games left to play in the regular season, I think a good argument could be made for Foles or McCoy to be named the team’s offensive MVP.

Foles has played in 10 games this season.  He’s completed 135 out of 218 pass attempts with 20 touchdowns and one interception.  In a game versus the Oakland Raiders, the former University of Arizona signal caller tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes in one game.

He’s the highest rated quarterback in the league with a 120.0 QB rating.  The Birds have won five games in the row since Foles took over the quarterbacking duties for the second time this season.

McCoy leads the league in rushing with 1305 yards on 261 carries for a 5.0 average.  The Birds are also the number one rushing team in the league with McCoy leading the way. He broke the Eagles single game rushing record last Sunday, when he ran for 217 yards in the snow against the Detroit Lions.  McCoy has scored 7 touchdowns and fumbled only once.

Who do you think is the Eagles offensive MVP and why?

After Years of Listening to Andy Reid say “I’ve got to do a better job of putting the players in a position to win..” It’s nice to actually have a coach who does,

My offensive MVP is coach Chip Kelly.

Yes bsm…we agree. An offensive coach that will make in-game adjustments and alter his system to fit the skills of his players.

My vote is for Kelly also.

Andy Reid would have never run the football in the fourth quarter. It would have been pass, pass, oh…and pass some more. Sack Sack and Scramble for your life….

Chip Kelley has grown and learned from previous blunders in just one season. The Fat Man would never change. No matter what. My second vote is for Chip Kelley…

if the season ends today its nick foles.

he has made riley cooper look like a pro bowl caliber WR which is beyond insane. think about it, if anyone told you nick foles (or any NFL qb for that matter) would make riley cooper look like a probowl WR before this season you wouldve laughed so hard you wouldve cried.

what nick is doing is absolutely historic. nick is in talk for league mvp so its nick and its not even close.

while shady has been nothing short of spectacular himself he doesnt have enough tds at the moment to be in the discussion for eagles mvp.

Wasn’t it his contract year in the beginning of the season also when he had 8 passes for 93 yards in the first five games? Stop it! His turn around has everything to do with Foles! I think they should be co MVPs but if I had to pick one, the Eagles are 8-5 with Shady playing and 6-1 with Foles, I would have to give the slight edge to Foles.

Good add of Jimmy Graham. His has been a beast this year, and his numbers are huge. I agree that he should be included in the top 5. As far as your list, I would have Shadey instead of Brees, but both are having great years. I would believe that Brees has many more offensive weapons at his disposal versus Shadey playing in a new system with a team that was 4-12 the year before. Different positions, but for my vote I would go with Shadey.

Jimmy Graham is a free agent and is worth Calvin Johnson money. This is a huge problem since he is listed as a tight end but never lines up on the line of scrimmage. He is always lined up as a wide receiver. The franchise tag money gap between tight end and wide receiver is huge. Ben Watson comes in as the blocking tight end and is the only official tight end used that way. Big drama coming in the off season with Jimmy Graham and the Saints. ( NFL lawyers are going to get dragged into this)

I would disagree mhenski. Graham had a few leg injuries this year that limited his play in a couple games, but overall he is a huge part of what Brees does with a powerful offensive team. I would take him any day.

i would take him any day too he is imo the biggest difference maker at any one position in the NFL. there just arent any jimmy grahams at TE besides gronk…

im telling you gronk and jimmy are equally awesome but jimmy is very careful with his body and the hits he absorbs (its kind of playing scared but more so playing smart…), gronk he just a warrior and not scared of anything but look at him. guys career is in jeopardy before it really even took off…

jim is unreal and if there was a real life fantasy draft and im a gm jimmy is my first skill position player i take.

eagles0superbowls you are wrong bud. only stats i can find on this shows that through week 6 of the season he was lined up as a TE approx45% of the time and split out 55%. id imagine that still holds true now as im certain the saints dont want to have to franchise him at the wr rate… also i think a lot of times they go out in a 2 wr set so he has a lb on him at the line that motion him in space.

regardless he is lining up at te plenty. i watch him virtually every single week as i have him as my TE in both of my $ fantasy leagues

It’s a moot point for the Eagles can’t afford him or other big name Free-Agent Players that will be out there. They are currently close to their ms alarm Cap in 2014 Dollars and will need to shed 3-4 Veteran Players as it is if they want to Re-Sign some of their own Free-Agents. The Upcoming Off-Season will be the quietest one in recent Eagles years..

I don’t understand how you can have Charles in front of McCoy. 200 less rushing yards for Charles.

I agree that Wilson has no place on that list. He is having a great season, but not an MVP season.

bugs i just think charles means more to the queefs then shady does to the eagles. he doesnt have 200 less yards its 144. the tale of the tape:

mccoy 8TDs
charles 13 TDs

they are neck and neck in receiving yards, and close enough in rushing. Charles does have 17 more catches

i give the nod to charles who has contributed 30 more points to his team thats a lot of points my man.

takes nothing away from shady as he is having a phenomenal season and has much more to offer than charles going forward…

When Jared Allen was asked who must they stop on the Eagles he chuckled and said the human joystick Shady McCoy.He is our #1 priority. When All-Pro ballots come out it will be Peyton Manning with McCoy as the best back in the NFL. Foles has been great but McCoy is the most dangerous player in the NFL with the ball in his hand. Foles is a close 2nd. Both have been great.

In other news.

Now, in this, his first season in the NFL and his first season as the Eagles’ offensive-line coach, Stoutland is in charge of one of the best – and most athletic – offensive lines in the NFL.

His two starting offensive tackles, Jason Peters and rookie Lane Johnson, both are former tight ends. Johnson even played quarterback. Center Jason Kelce is a former linebacker. And Evan Mathis and Todd Herremans are as quick as any pair of guards in the league.

ANY WHO!!!

If Peterson is out, Toby Gerhart is next up. He didn’t practice on Thursday either because of a hamstring injury, but reports out of Minneapolis indicate he has a better shot at playing. Chip Kelly knows Gerhart well. The Stanford product, who is averaging 7.9 yards on 36 carries, had some big games against Oregon when Kelly was there. If both Peterson and Gerhart are out, the Eagles could be playing with a running clock by the third quarter. Matt Asiata is the third string tailback and he’s yet to take a carry this season.

Not to change the Subject, but I cannot help myself…
Did the Phillies GM Amaro even attend this past week’s GM Meetings in Orlando.. Not a move made.. It’s going to be a long Summer for Phils Fans as the Nationals, Mets, improved their Rosters while the Phils have done
Very little to address their Club in terms of getting Younger, more athletic and what to do to upgrade their Pitching Staff..
Maybe add Nelson Cruz, and a Reliever and at least 1 experienced Starter is needed to be able to compete in the NL East next Season

Paul your right, Amaro’s moves, or lack there-of have been perplexing to say the least. The rebuild should have begun last year at the trade deadline and they did nothing. Now they’ve locked into two more un-tradable contracts in Byrd and Ruiz and have no shot of winning next year. I didn’t think it was possible but IMO they’ve actually gotten older and worse this off-season. This team’s going to be bad for several years going forward.

Bears, Cowboys & Eagles Defenses are all
Pretty bad and can get torched in the Secondary and give up big plays
Whoever can run the ball better and put more pressure on the QB will Win these games…and of course Special Teams and Turnovers will be huge as well ..
