    He won 10 games the last two years in a hard division. I think he has won r this year with no qb. We have won 4 games in 2 years. Not my first choice but he has had success.

    Everything can, and will be, figured out. That's like saying a Chess opening by a great Master can never be figured out. There are only so many options. Pick an offense, and it's been figured out. Does that mean the West Coast offense can't produce a SB champ? Ask GB. Does that mean an unconventional passing attack can't win the SB? Ask the Patriots. Does that mean a Chip kelly style college inspired Read Option can't lead you to a SB victory? Ask Seattle.

    Look at the greatest offenses and defenses in NFL history. They all get figured out to an extent and a lot of teams take elements from them and add them into their own offense or defenses. This is how the game evolves.

    Let's look at it this way...

    With Chip Kelly as HC we know what we are getting although some of you might be confused. His offense is really built around the run game, not the passing game because a lot of his passing comes off of playaction/read-option action.

    First, Bradford has had sub-par stats in 5 of his 9 games and you don't really need to look too far past his 11TD - 10 INT ratio to get a sense of the problem. Turnovers. So Bradford has been an issue for much of the season. Bradford is something like the 25-27 best QB in the NFL via qb rating. Mariota is 11th.

    Second, they have run the ball fairly well and MUCH better than us in almost every facet. They avg almost 120yds rushing a game. We avg less than 100 and we are in the weakest division in football.

    Third, even with a big problem at QB, Kelly's offense ranks 8th in yards in the league and 15th in points. With a much better QB, we rank 30th in both categories!!!

    I don't want Chip handling any GM stuff, but the guy is a very good OC and can really get the most out of his players when his own GM issues don't mess up his coaching! With a good GM (which we currently don't have), Kelly would give us a top 10 offense and with LeBeau running the D we should have a top 10 unti there as well. That translates to an AFC South Division winner.

    Lastly, if you don't want Chip, who would you rather have and make a case of why that guy is better than Chip? Only guy I can really throw against Chip is Josh McDaniels and I don't think he'd come here and he will want GM control to come here and no way I give that to him! Only other guy might be Sean Peyton IF he leaves NO.

    Kelly made a decent Oregon team great...in the top 5 practically every year. Most college teams and fanbases wish they could have that kind of success. To try and spin that as nothing special means either you're a hater or you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

    He didn't get the job in Philly by winning the Lottery.

    Com'On, Man! You know you can't be carrying facts around with you, up in here. This is a fact-free zone. You might hurt someone's feelings by invading their Safe Space with all that statistical data. :)

    I actually thought his swapping McCoy for the other 2 RB's made sense...at least on the surface. Shady McCoy was on the light side, for the NFL, and both Matthews & Murray had the size/speed combination needed in the league.

    I don't remember his other moves, but I don't think one can fault him for bringing in a guy who had so much success in the league and at a division rival.

    Well who do we hire that is a guarantee? I line hue Jackson too but he isn't a guarantee to have success here, nobody is.

    Chip has had success with the eagles. Bradford sucks but foles got benched for case Keenun. I liked when chip said "if I ever have a chance to draft a qb as good as mariota, I would be fired first"
