The Mad Roman Emperor That Is Chip Kelly-gula

[Mitziman]

I will go out on a limb, and say it first...

Kelly will include NATIVE AMERICAN Sam Bradford as part of a trade package with the Washington Redskins for the # 5 pick this year to get his boy Marcus Mariota. Yep, it's going to happen.

Win for Philly, and a win for Washington...once Bradford is a Redskin, he will come out and say "he's never been offended by the name Redskins"

Then why did he trade for Bradford? If Foles was that much better, he could've used him as trade bait in a deal, say, with the Jets.

The reality here is pretty stark for Chippy: no deal, and he's stuck with either Butt Fumble or Bradford as his starting QB next year.

If Chip is looking to deal that #10 overall pick to Tennessee or Jacksonville, that's going to require a first rounder next year and a second this year. I'd also say that's what we should ask for if he's trying to trade with us for our #5 pick (though point value differential is somewhat lower for our selection).

Either way, I don't see the sense in this. It's either Butt Fumble/Bradford at QB or bleeding high draft picks to add Mariota to the troika of QBs he already has.

Or he is hedging his bets. While Sanchez and Bradford have their issues, say he does manage to get Mariota, he could then deal Bradford to the Jets... or he might try and package Bradford to the Titans seeing as how Locker just retired, Bradford and next years first and say a 4th for a swap of picks. He gets his chosen one and the Titans get a veteran QB to sit behind Mettinberg.

I'll say this: as a Redskins fan, I'll take the status quo Chippy has with his QBs. Also, I'm not sure why the Titans would want either QB. Both are known commodities, and they aren't good ones. Mettenberger may be a bust, but at least he's an unknown. I think they're willing to give him a shot. If I were the Titans, I wouldn't want either of the stiffs that Philly has right now. I'd want picks and picks galore. Mettenberger played last season, albeit sparingly, and I think they want to see what the kid's got.

But stranger things have happened.

The only reason the Titans would want either is as an insurance policy if Mettenberger fails. As far as trading Bradford to us... we dont need another QB who is one bad Michael Jackson impression away from an amputee. We also dont need the guy who tried to hide the ball in his right guards butt to avoid the sack.

Hell, for all we know the Titans could draft Mariotta themselves. He is/did try out for them.

And thats what makes the draft interesting...

No matter how much we pour over data, team needs and player prospective sheets....

There is always a curve ball in there some where.

Especially when you have Oakland drafting right ahead of you. You never know what they are going to do. Hell, they don't even know what they are going to do.

so from what ive gathered, chip is trying to get older and more injury prone.

Guess Chip has Tebow in today for a look see...
