Chip Kelly is occupying space in all of your heads

[wysknz1]

There's a poster on this board I think of more often. He goes by "CHIPWICH". He is more insightful, intelligent and I think of him more often. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Sammy Bradford, ever hear of him? You are about to; more than likely when you are winded to hell and he picks you apart.

Bradford is trade-bait so Chippy can get his boy-toy, Mariotta. Sammy will be injuring himself in Tennesee this year and the Eagles draft will compose the sum of 3 (maybe 4) players once it is all said and done.

I have a Big Mac with a triple sized meat patty and copious amounts of cheese on my mind. Clearly Big Mac would rock the NFL as a coach because it's occupying space in my head.

 

At the very least, it wouldn't ditch my best receivers and runningback.

God I hope not.

Nope:

 

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

There are rumors that Chip Kelly is gay. How would that go over in Philadelphia if it turned out to be true?

[pointyfootball]

Have you seen how he dresses?  Not a chance.

[Peregrine]

Well at least Chip is occupying space in SOMEONES head.  I was worried there was just vacant space up there.

Weird.

It's usually your posts- on days following an Eagles loss- that don't show up.

You should be more concerned with Chip Kelly occupying space in the unemployment line...

He's definitely "going big or going home".  I'll give him credit for that.

Come on. He has the benefit of coaching in Philadelphia, the city where all the sports fans are patient and reasonable.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Best burn on here in a long time.

Honestly, that is hilarious.

 

I don't often go "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh" now, but I did that time.

Day 77, and the sleepless nights continue. Chip Kelly, occupying space in my brain all day every day. I hope the rest of you are doing OK as we fight through this debilitating disease. 

[pjfootballer]

Chip the Dip? Kelly with the big belly? Former coach of the ducks who sucks?

Hardly. I sleep fine knowing Chipper is in charge.

[eaglesfandan]

Your comments make me think of this song:  https://youtu.be/cqQixDj3-KE

 

We all we laughing come December, when Kelly is ran out of town when the Eagles fall to 6-10 or worse.  Bradford won't last beyond training camp in Kelly's offense.  PRobably a career ender this time.

Sorry, but I doubt he gets fired after one bad year.  I'm with all of the other comments though.  I have NO IDEA what to expect of that  team next season.

^^^It won't just be "one bad year."   Remember, those other two years, the ones that in your mind make up for the "one bad year" were due to the talent on the roster.  If the Eagles fail this year, it is ALL on Kelly.  He's the one who has jettisoned all of your play makers with an obvious failure of a plan.

All that talent?  You mean winning 10 games two seasons in a row with a backup QB playing for half the year both seasons (And finishing in the top 5 offensively both years) and one of the worst defenses in the NFL both season too?  Man what would the Eagles do without all of that talent?

 

No arguments from me on the jettison of players, but you can't say his plan is a failure before the season has even started. Jackson wasn't a big deal:

 

With Jackson the WR position went like this:

82 catches, 1332 yards, 9 TDs

47 catches, 835 yards, 8 TDs

38 catches, 447 yards, 2 TDs

 

Last year without Jackson:

85 catches, 1318 yards, 10 TDs

67 catches, 872 yards, 8 TDs

55 catches, 577 yards, 3 TDs

 

His production was replaced the next year, but both McCoy and Maclin (who he didn't get rid off) being gone will tell a lot this year.  I wasn't all that big on Foles either.  Funny how Foles got bashed here last year.  Now getting rid of him is the worst move ever.  Go figure.

 

Like I said, I have no idea what to expect, but to already call it a failure is juuuuust a little premature lol.  You're right though if it does fail he has nobody to blame except himself.  He won't be fired after one bad season though no matter how much you want it to happen, which says a lot.

Chip causes way more stress in the minds of Eagles fans than he does in the minds of Skins/Boys/Giants fans.

Jackson was the best WR on your team, imo.  Foles isn't a bad QB at all, can't speak for anyone that bashed him last year.  But the fact he traded him to the Rams for Bradford was the worst move he made.

 

Foles injury, collarbone.  Bradford has been worn and torn starting in college with the AC joint sprain, re-injuring it and having surgery on it. Then tearing his left ACL in back to back seasons.  

 

He traded a top 3 back in Shady to the Bills for a linebacker coming off an ACL injury.  Initially, it made sense given the fact that many believed it was for salary cap reasons and that he could plug a cheaper back in his system and succeed.

 

THEN.......he goes out and pays top dollar for Murray and also signs Mathews.  Now, I'm not saying that's a bad thing in regards to the backs, but lets face it, Murray was playing behind the best o-line in the entire NFL, now he is not.  Mathews, well, he's been hurt off and on every season, with last season being a torn MCL.

 

It could work out, Eagles could still win 10 games.  The moves he made this off-season were still horrible imo.

At this point is looks like Fisher just reeled the Chipster in...

Yep, the Bradford move was weird.  He pretty much gambled his whole season on Bradford's health. The backs I'm not as worried about.  Murray, Matthews, and Sproles should be fine if he uses them in a rotation.  Now that Maclin left the WR position is a huge question mark too.  I don't mind Jordan Matthews, but Cooper sucks, and who knows how the kid from USC will look.  I honestly have no idea what to expect.  It either works out really well, or blows up in his face.  I don't really see an in between.

Yeah, it's pretty much down to either or.  "Either" it works "or" it blows up in his face.  I know he said that they didn't plan on Mariotta, outside of a brief talk where it would cost them the future (e.g. a trade like we made for RGIII).  But honestly, I don't believe any coach/gm when they talk after the fact, in situations like this.

 

I don't see any head coach/gm trading a perfectly fine QB for one that is injury prone, unless they are trying to work some deal on the back end.  Unless, it is for a QB that fits their system better.  Foles, not mobile; Bradford, not mobile.  I think it backfired and he got stuck with a QB that he better hope stays healthy.
