I don't see it happening. think Jeffrey Lurie views Kelly as the team's best asset at this point. And for Kelly's perspective, I think Chip Kelly has what he wants here -- besides Mariota. I don't see the Eagles letting Chip leave. And I don't know if Chip would want to go when he has full control here.
In the offseason, perhaps, if the Eagles think he can be salvaged. I don't see it happening today. There would need to be a significant evaluation there. Kaepernick has not been good this year. But he has been to two NFC championship games and a Super Bowl.
They need guard help or depth at tackle. So I don't see a match in Cleveland.
Also, the Eagles need first-round picks.
I don't. I think they need to convert first downs, and that gets tempo going. The key is the first first down/
Good question, Scott. It would make sense for the Eagles to move Curry -- he's a reserve who is a free-agent-to-be, and unlikely to re-sign. It's a similar situation to Boykin. If they can get a 4 or 5, I think they'd do it. But I don't think they can. Look at what Vernon Davis' value was on the trade market. I know Curry is younger, but he's free to sign anywhere in March.
I think the Eagles would be more apt to sell and add a draft pick than surrender a draft pick. If they add a position, my guess is it's OLB. But we'll see. I think they'd like to add a pick.
The Eagles have 6 WRs on their roster, and I don't think they want to release one. So my guess is this is the receiving corps they'll go with.
I don't think Maxwell has been as inconsistent as you think -- at least since Week 3. But Carroll has been very steady. They've been a good combination. ...And which Watkins are you asking about?
I think Howie Roseman had some strengths that weren't valued enough -- he knew the league, he knew how to value a player. I think the Eagles have some valuation problems that are biting them right now.
I think a lot of it is the QBs they've played. They do need better sack numbers, but the pass rush hasn't been a major problem in the past 2-3 weeks. n
The early returns are not positive.As I've written, the next nine games will indicate whether he's the QB going forward. He needs to play much, much better.
The drops are a symptom of the problem -- not the problem.
You're not wrong. Huff has been too inconsistent for a third-round pick -- especially when you look at the WRs they drafted after Huff. He's good with the ball in his hands -- not so much at getting the ball in his hands.
Chip hasn't said this, but I think his vision included having control over picking the players he's coaching in his scheme.
Yes, I do. Lurie is extremely high on Chip. This is the coach he wanted, the coach he hired. He sees someone who is smart, has a vision, and can be a championship-level coach. It's up to Chip to prove Lurie is correct.
If I knew, I'd move to Vegas. The Eagles need to win in Dallas. I think they do. If they don't and Bradford struggles, Chip needs to look hard at that position.
I'll have a better gut feeling after seeing the beginning of practice in an hour.
To an extent. You can also evaluate better than the other teams do, or develop better than the other teams do. It's not easy if you don't have a top 5 pick. But top 5 picks fail, too -- look at RG3. The key is to have right the people picking, coaching, and playing.
That's a great question. I really don't know. It depends on the QB. And I have no idea who that QB would be.
Not something I've heard yet. At what price? Eagles aren't parting with valuable picks, and don't have roster spots at WR.
I think they could. Need to see who comes into draft.
He's no longer on the Eagles.
