Who remains on Chip's bandwagon?

[Taz]

I am an Eagles fan....always will be. Does not get any simpler than that.

Do I understand what Chip is doing? Probably not but I am willing to concede he knows more about football than anyone on this board. I will wait and see what happens before I decide to jump off (if I even consider it) the bridge.

I am an Eagles Fan always will be, I can't jump off the band wagon. I can however get pissed. I can however decide not to support the team financially. That is where I am right now. I don't believe Chip Kelly is a genius, I don't believe he knows more than everyone. I honestly don't . The funny thing a lot of us have been posting together for the better part of 15years. For the most part we know what is going on. Usaually when there is this type of move and its met the way its been met by the fans, it backfires on the team.

I was just about off and jumped back on with the Bradford trade. I think he's a franchise QB, a top 6 in the NFL type in this offense IF healthy.

We can win a Super Bowl with Bradford starting and Chip coaching.

 

[Los Eagles]

I 'm not sure I was ever on it but I do believe people are over-reacting a bit. I wasn't looking at WRs or Rbs too much for this draft (focused on defense) but now we have to. I wouldn't mind signing Murray then snagging a guy like Louisville's Parker at WR. Might have to trade up for him though. I'd like to see what mock drafts look like now.

Well said.

He's never healthy. He's missed 25 games in the last 2 years. It's an insane move and terrible risk to take on a guy who has never proven anything.

If you "jump off the bandwagon" 12 hours after free agency began, and two months before the draft and 5 months before they even lace em up... your not a fan... period.

In chip I trust, 20-12 = leeway.

Btw, foles sucks... seriously... foles has no business starting for an nfl franchise. Bradford for a pick and a slow, boodle armed, happy footed throw and pray qb is a good damn deal.

We have a great young front 7, a good safety, a good corner, and still plenty of weapons on offense. Calm the fuck down and lets get at least 24 hours removed from day one of free agency shall we?

I doubt any of will not be fans after today. I am scratching my head a bit over this trade. As always I will wait until the draft is over to see how I feel about this off season. I just hope it gets a lot better!

You are conflating two separate ideas here. The Chip Kelly bandwagon =/= the Eagles bandwagon. HUGE difference. You can be an Eagles fan without buying into the coach's philosophy.

Also, your comments on Foles indicate to me that you are most likely one of the Vick-lovers who is still butthurt that he lost his job to the kid.

 

[Iggloo]

I am admittedly a Foles backer, but I could have lived with MM because of scheme fit. This is just puzzling. It doesn't mean I am giving up on the Eagles yet, but my Chip Kelly honeymoon is definitely over. He is ruining the franchise.

 

[soulxflare]

This is what we as a fanbase are reduced to now .... trying to convince ourselves that some miracle is gonna happen in the midst of sheer lunacy.

sigh

 

[jvett77]

10-6 to 6-10. Case closed!

 

[DaEagles]

Holy Fuck...A guy gets back from spending a week in Cancun all excited to see McCourty, Worilds, Maxwell, Iutapi and another corner signed and WTF do I see...Maxwell.

And then Foles and a 2nd rounder for a 16 million dollar injury prone, 2 ACL tears in 2 years QB.

So Chip in 2 years has gotten rid of his #1 WR in year one, and then his #1 RB and #1 WR and #1 QB the next year. WTF is he doing.

NO doubt in my mind it wasn't Howie fuckin things up now. Not with this kind of shit going on.

Chip is a fuckin lunatic.

Lets here it from all you fuckin nut huggers. Holy shit this is pathetic.

 

[EKA]

Jumped off and broke both ankles. This trade and maclin did it for me. I just dont understand wtf the plan is.

 

[DutchBird]

It all depends what it looks like when training camp starts. Though currently I am seriously leaning towards Chip having no clue what he is doing, and being a poisonous reincarnated succubused mixture of the spirits of Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones.

If he pulls a Ditka or Snyder in the draft I want him gone, no matter what (even if he brings us a Super Bowl in January). If he uses the draft to stock up on talent and plugging a number of holes, than I will be on the wait-and-see wagon.

 

[Screamin Eagle]

Never was on board but was willing to give him time. Unfortunately time has run out. I don't think he understands the NFL, player values, player culture or talent evaluation but he sure knows Ducks.

 

[Rey]

I'm taking a wait and see ... QB is the most important position on the team. If Bradford stays healthy (monster "if" of course) then we have improved the most important position on the team. You can't win in this league without either a top QB or a top Defense ... Chip assessed that neither Foles nor Sanchez have Franchise type ability and he's taking his chances with a guy who has flashed that type of ability, but has had really bad luck with injuries. The only other options for Chip was to cripple the franchise draft pick wise by trading up for Mariotta or start developing a lesser talent with a later pick.

 

[Susky]

I'm definitely not doom and gloom. Let's call it cautiously optimistic. It's not like I can change anything, and it's not like I'm not going to attend every freaking home game. I'm an Eagles fan, and no amount of front office chicanery will negate that.

I'm still enjoying the ride, no matter where it leads.

 

[skinzfan]

I think CK should explain his reasoning why paying Maclin 2 million to stay was over the top then 2 days later spending 20 million to sign Bradford and Sanchez.

Sometimes crazy college guys... Are crazy college guys.

Not NFL material.

Be patient, Philly.

Your first Super Bowl win ever, future tense possibility, has simply been postponed for some more years or decades...
