PFT: Eagles Hire Chip Kelly

[Guild]

Reid/Kelly mashup, hilarious.

[skinsfan12]

He's was a hot commodity because of his preparation and attention to detail.

Cool, this will be like Spurrier 2.0.

These two statements cannot be applied together. They don't mix, like: Oil and Water; Drinking and Driving; Me and My Ex; Romo and Playoffs...

Philadelphia Eagles' hire of Chip Kelly could be NFL's worst ever

When I saw who wrote the article I immediately exited that page, Heath Evans is hands down one of the absolute worst so called analyst` out there.

[[[ghost]]]

Heath Evans is foolish.

Though I would love for him to be right on this particular topic.

Philadelphia Eagles' hire of Chip Kelly could be NFL's worst ever

Interesting article until this:

I'm sure the RG3 phenomenon is adding to the Chip Kelly hype but Robert Griffin III was knocked out of a game three times -- once by concussion, once from a brutal hit from Baltimore Ravens nose tackle Haloti Ngata, and a final time in the playoffs that required surgery and puts his NFL future in jeopardy

He makes interesting points, but I question anything he says now...

[TheLongshot]

Yeah, I don't think it was too smart of him to invoke RG3's name when he ignores the other two athletic QBs who run similar offenses.

In any case, he's got a long way to go before he's worse than Spurrier.

Possibly. Can't really do much worse than this past year though, either. The author's 3 reasons that Kelly will be the worst NFL coach EVER are amusing at best. I hate being a homer and defending the guy, but....

Point #1

I believe he finished 2nd after bowl games this season, so his point about not finishing higher than third is wrong.

Rankings per Rivals.com of Oregon's recruiting classes:
2009 (32)
2010 (13)
2011 (9)
2012 (16)

Point #2 in the article is true, but laughable. So Oregon lost to Stanford...not sure what that means. Everyone knows that his offense may not transfer to the NFL, and it remains to be seen if he even wants to transfer it to the NFL. And...Alabama lost to Texas A&M. Teams lose, even really good ones.

Point #3 regarding QB injuries, I agree with, but only if you assume he's going to run the exact same offense in the NFL that he runs at Oregon.

As an Eagles fan I'm not sold on him as an NFL head coach. Would have liked someone who had spent time in the NFL. However, this author obviously despises Kelly/Oregon, and is allowing that to cloud his "journalistic integrity".

I'm thinking the Eagles may try and trade up for Geno Smith. He'd fit the offense well, or at least that would be the thought.

Chip Kelly and Geno Smith the new face of Philly? It's like Christmas!

I think they'll be able to get Geno Smith right where they are at 4. They can probably even trade down and get him.

OMG....I hope not.

[Riggo-toni]

The real test will be.....
How fast can he flap his lips?

[Cooleyfan1993]

well...i guess this is a chip shot for philly...

[visionary]

Ha ha ha ha ha! WTF? I totally missed this earlier.

I guess he made up his mind for sure this time?

Or will he be "staying" at Oregon next week? lol

Heath Evans has some sort of vendetta against Griffin. He's been beating the drum against him all season long for whatever reason and I think he was waiting for an injury so he could say "I told you so".

Not surprising he managed to get a dig in at RG3 in a completely unrelated article.
