Remember when the guru Chip Kelly took over in Philly.  He gutted that team and did nothing with his changes.

I see the same thing happening here but we did it far more brutally.  Forced Luke into retirement, *Mutually parted ways with Olsen*, lied to Cam the entire offseason about waiting until he was healthy.  Maybe we should Trade CMC then Rhule can bring in his running back from Baylor.

Tepper wants to win but we'll be luck if we can beat a good college team.

This moves are painful to watch.  I hope Cam takes whoever he signs with to the Super Bowl.

I don't think we forced Luke to retire. I think that was his decision. He's 27. If he wanted to keep playing and didn't want to be here he could've forced his way out. Luke retired due to medical concerns.

But yeah, so far this is all looking very Chip Kelly-ish in the early going. We'll have to see how it all plays out.

Keep in mind that Chip Kelly won some games in Philly and then just wanted to retool to his own team. We never got to see the finished product.  Phily messed up by not keeping some control IF they wanted to keep their team,.. and Chip messed up by not making it clear he was going to blow it up and wanted time to do that.

Tepper wanted this team blown up,.. that’s what is different here is the owner wanted this. He’s in a profession where he’s used to pissing people off and doesn’t care for now what we all think. 
 

you could say Sean McVae is Chip 2.0 or Arizona’s coach,..

the issue is for us is we all want the fast forward button to see what the finished product will look like and unfortunately that looks 3 seasons away at best.

Chip Kelly took over in 2009 at Oregon who was coming off seasons of 10-2, 7-6, 9-4 and 10-3 the previous four.  The cupboards at Oregon were far from bare.  Everywhere Rhule has been hired was mired in mediocrity at the very best, and he significantly improved all of them.  I'm not saying he won't end up like Kelly, but I think his track record indicates that he may have better success in a rebuild than Kelly.

Classic "couldn't beat a good college team" hot take. :eyeroll:

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
