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.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
