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.

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
