Quote:The trade makes absolutely no sense if there's not adequate draft compensation to make it worthwhile.  What's even more screwy from the Eagles perspective is they let McCoy go and now they're pursuing Murray.  Chip Kelly is trying to do his darndest to show the world that Gene Smith wasn't such a lousy GM after all.  He's either going to look like an absolute genius, or an arrogant buffoon.  My money is on the latter. 

 

My wife's an Eagles fan (or at least she was, these decisions have made her question her loyalty to the team), and she says that some of the Eagles fans have a InChipWeTrust mentality.  I'm starting to wonder if Trust is kryptonite for decision makers.  


"relax, he's got a 3 year plan."  


Apparently that plan is always NOT being good.

that slew of picks though would have to be multiple HIGH picks.  like this year's 1st next year's 1st and 2nd and other crap... either way its a horrible way of managing a football team.

 

the idea that Tennessee (or any other team) would somehow prefer Mark Sanchez or Sam Bradford over Mariota or Jameis Winston is pretty far-fetched.

The slew of picks would have to be multiple HIGH picks anyway.  


It's also not that far fetched.  Sanchez is a known quantity.  Mariota isn't guaranteed success in the NFL.
