One fan wrote: "For a period of 5-6 years, he was one of the top 4 RBs in the NFL. Oddly, his 2 Super Bowl rings came when he was a back-up in KC and a bench-warmer in Tampa Bay."

Chip Kelly robbing #Eagles fans of Shady being a lifer was the final nail in the coffin of my buying into whatever he was selling.
LeSean McCoy is a top 5 running back of the decade and he ain't 5.

One fan responded: "Call me crazy, but I think chip was a little ahead of his time coming into the league. I think he'd have pretty good successes running his offense now, better than he did back then."
