Avant was not a Chip Kelly Type of Receiver

"When it came to certain things, we butted heads sometimes-- route running and route technique," Avant explained. "So I knew I didn't fit his system."

Avant was limited to running clear-out routes because he didn't have the speed that Kelly covets in his wide receivers.

"When they stop calling your number and guys start running some of the routes that you run," Avant said, "I knew from the beginning that I didn't fit his style of offense, in that I'm a crafty guy that gets open in an atypical way."

 

 

I could be wrong, but I would think that a crafty, veteran, possession receiver with great hands who can move the chains would have some value in all offenses (but, what do i know?).  

 

We can only hope that this is a case of "your loss is my gain".  Sure, at the end of the day it's all about what Avant can do for us, but I will chuckle a little if Chip's passing game falters.

You talking about Smitty?

Anyways, I read the Eagles boards after I saw this article earlier during the day. Most of them think he's as classy as they come but not fast enough with little YAC. He may have been bad in a fast pace Kelly offense but he may just be what the doctor ordered in our TOP methodical grind it out offense.

Strong possibility that Chip Kelly may still be a flash in the pan coach.  We shall see how his "up tempo all the time" program works in the pros over the next two years.  Not sure how players will respond once the new wears off.  We shall see.

 

As far as Avant goes, what is not to like?  Great hands, seems to like the tutor role, has no apparent problem working with younger players, puts in extra work.

 

I don't care how he gets open...just win baby.

So Chip Kelly gets rid of Deshaun Jackson and replaces him with a 2nd round rookie and gets rid of Avant and he's a genius, but Gettleman replaces a 35 year old Smitty with a first round rookie and gets rid of Donald Lafell and he's and idiot that has assembled the worst WR corp in NFL history...mmmkay.

Exactly it's all story lines and labels.

Chip is known as an offensive genius so everything he does on offense is correct

Right on. Stupid "experts" try to claim Smitty was better than Jackson currently. Sure...

      Trade: Panthers are trading veteran QB Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per sources.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Dalton is ancient by NFL standards. Howell is only 25.  Howell's only year as a starter he put up almost 4k yards, 21/21 with a 43.2 QBR while being sacked 65 times.  This past year and the 3rd starting, which many would consider to be Bryce's best, he barely put up 3k yards 23/11 with a QBR of 47.6 while being sacked 27 times.  Pickett 4 years in the league, with 27 starts, he's amassed 4900 yards, 16/16 with a 53.6 QBR.  Now if Bryce were injured for a season, which QB would you say has more potential to step in and run an offense? I'd say Howell only because in a single season he threw for 1k yards less, more tds and granted more ints in 11 less games as a starter than Pickett's whole career.  Everyone is saying Pickett sucks, Howell sucks, but what I'm seeing is Bryce is right on par with them. Howell is on his 5th team, so is KP, yet Bryce just got a 5th year extension putting up pretty much similar numbers. The bar for QB on this organization is really low.  Did I want Howell? I didn't care. I wanted someone, anyone, who can potentially be better than what we've had the past 3 years or who we signed as a backup. We do not have even a mid tier NFL QB on the roster right now.  If Howell was brought in as camp fodder and didn't make the cut, wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. If we bring in another QB via the draft, I hope it's someone who could have the potential to be a starting QB with some development because that's the whole point.  We can't be afraid to bring in anyone who might have the potential to unseat Bryce or take his job if he's injured. The goal is to get winning seasons and make SB runs with hopefully a victory or 2. Pickett doesn't accomplish that. Dalton hasn't been able to even be in consideration for that role in over 2 years.

      Next 2, Brooklyn and Philly are must wins that we should have no problems winning. Other 2 are Knicks and Celtics in Charlotte, split those. I think that 5 of 6 is very doable. And probably will be necessary for our pursuit of a 6-8 seed. Hawks keep rolling sadly but at least Miami and Orlando finally slipping up after they both had long winning streaks like Atlanta. 76ers obviously in a free fall
