Chip Kelly is John Doe

Is it just me, or does the Sam Bradford trade make you think of the car scene with John Doe from Seven?

 

“You can’t see the whole complete act yet. But when this is done, when it’s finished, people will barely be able to comprehend, but they won’t be able to deny. What I’ve done is going to be puzzled over, and studied, and followed…forever.”

 

I'm interested to see where this is going. Is it genius, or is it the 2011 "Dream Team"?

2011 dream team all over again. Bradford wasn't even that great even when healthy, Murray is a downgrade from McCoy, Maxwell was insanely overpaid, and he lost early draft picks and doesn't even draft well anyways...

It's going to be interesting. If he's got a five year plan he's trying to implement, the fans of Philly are NOT going to have the patience for that.

I'm wondering if his early success has him thinking he's infallible. This might fall under the "it's so crazy it just might work" category, though. Either way, it's going to be fun to watch.

But with no picks exchanged, isn't Foles better trade bait then Bradford?

Yeah this is definitely a head scratcher. He must be planning on using some powerful Jedi mind tricks to move up...or he's just out of his damn mind. Could go either way.

I was flipping back and forth between sports channels last night, so I can't say which one, or who the analyst was, but they did say something that caught my attention.  Basically, and this is far from verbatim, he's going all in on his belief that he can put anyone in his system and it will work, and all these crazy moves are part of his plan.  Why not?  If he goes all in, and fails, then gets fired... There will be 7-10 of the nations biggest college programs, with a contract waiting for him the next morning.

 

Edit:  Then the Philly fans will likely riot, because he left their team in a giant poo hole.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
