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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
