Chip Kelly is John Doe

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...

 

 

You say Murray (if that happens) is a downgrade over McCoy, but trading McCoy was about freeing up money that allowed them to fill defensive holes with Maxwell and Kiko Alonso. Getting the NFL's top rusher last year in Murray to replace McCoy as a consolation prize to go along with those two is not to shabby. 

 

As far as Chip not drafting well- this will be Chip's first year selecting players in the draft so not sure where that even comes from. Chip may have had some input, but Howie Roseman has been the one doing the draft selection since Chip got there.

 

Now the Bradford, Foles, and picks thing.....I'm still trying to figure that one out and if all this backfires that is where ground zero will most likely be. Plus there is still a lot of time between now and the start of the season.

In Kelly's system it doesn't matter who you plug in. Talent differences at this level are marginal offensively as far as skill positions go, don't overpay anyone on offense unless it's on the line or quarterback and build a defense. That's what he doing.

Arent they still paying a kings ransom for murray?

Dont get me wrong, mccoy had an awful contract. He did immediately rework it with the bills. Probably a mutual parting.

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