Chip Kelly is a nobody at the moment.....Only a head coach for 6 years.....4 with Oregon and 2 with the Eagles.
He`s trying to make a name for himself.
1st season with the Eagles he lost a playoff game at home to the Saints.
Last season no playoffs.
And he just traded away 1 of the best running backs in the NFL for a guy who is unproven and coming off a major ACL injury.
That is his 1st mistake....His 2nd mistake will be bringing in Marcus Mariota.....Another unproven player....LOL.
Nothing wrong with Nick Foles.
Unproven coach and unproven players is a bad recipe.

At least Spurrier has a championship.....Kelly has done nothing as a coach.
Yeah, in general people are too results oriented when it comes to coaches. I don't really feel like defending Kelly too much if people aren't sold on him, but I do think he is 1 of the best offensive coaches in the league. Oregon's success and Phi's turnaround good evidence of that. Had a top offense both years with Foles/Sanchez/Vick at QB.
As far as McCoy goes, that is a good sell high probably. He is likely on the downside after 5 years of pretty heavy workload.
Well said.
You don't win in the NFL by overpaying aging RBs. It's simply not a valuable position. Adrian Peterson, widely regarded as the best RB in the game, has played in 4 playoff games in 7 years (8 seasons if you include last season), winning just 1 of them. They're better off freeing up the $7.5 million to pay Maclin and improve the defense.
Sproles did so much more for the team when he was on the field then McCoy did. I do not know how Kiko will work out for Eagles, but dumping the salary alone makes it a good trade. The eagles need so much help, they only have 1 starting DB on their roster. A lot of good rbs in the draft or free agency. Sign DeAngelo Williams or Ridley for 1/3 of McCoys salary and get better at other much needed positions.
I have noticed when hearing peoples opinions on the radio that the black guys hate this trade of course over valueing McCoy because they are all about "flash". These are the same people that always thought Michael Vick was good and the white guys get it. Understanding how the cap works and how replaceable running backs are. With all things being equal, the Eagles get 3 starters from this deal. With extra cap room, they could pay 2 players 5 million a year.
Here are some facts. Adrian Peterson has been the best back since he came in the leaugue and has won 1 playoff game and only made the playoffs 3 times. Lashaun McCoy has never won a playoff game. Jamal Charles has never won a playoff game.
