Quote:Agree.  And the irony is, it will probably be because he's "undo"ing a lot of what he inherited, that he seemingly didn't need to.  There was (seemingly) a lot there to work with.  Was.

 

Did he look at the 49ers and think his roster was going to stale out not long down the road, and move prematurely to try to prevent that in Philly?

 

I think at least part of Chip Kelly's mindset relates to the question you raised.   Kelly seems like someone who is very proactive in general.   Kelly likely views how the Patriots operate from the standpoint of rather getting rid of a player a year too soon than a year too late.    I believe this was part of the strategy regarding the LeSean McCoy trade.   

 

Having said what I expressed in the first paragraph,   I don't think that the Eagles are going to have the core stability that the Patriots have had.  Kelly probably is going to continue to make huge roster turnover year in and year out until the time comes that he no longer is in Philadelphia.     Kelly seems like the type of decision maker who fits the profile of a Fantasy Football owner in a NON Keeper League.   I think this type of thinking leads to chemistry problems for teams that follow this path.
