    Kelly would be smart to lick his wounds, go back to college and come back in a few years. he has a brilliant system for most levels of football, the nfl is a little bit different though. the prep time that guys put in on the nfl level is 50x what is put in at any other level and some things are just too easy to figure out when you put htat amount of time in.

    desean Jackson is a cancer, lesean McCoy didn't do all that great this year in buffalo and for the money he was looking for at 8 mill per year and 26 guaranteed for a guy in the league for 6 years already, I don't blame him for showing the guy the door.

    now the guys he brought in he is an idiot for. Bradford is TERRIBLE, completely useless fuck. id actually rather have Sancho playing than him if I were a philly fan. Sancho who managed to shit the season down the drain last year after they had a pretty good start, murray who is just absolutely not the type of runner to use in his offense and then the inability to figure out a way to make it work. and he paid 40 mill for him too although only 18 mill is guaranteed. McCoy fits that offense FAR better than murray.

    some of the stuff he did was just un fucking thinkable. but I bet he goes back to college and wins consistently and brings in really strong recruits no matter where he is. especially if he ends up at one of the texas schools someone mentioned. or imagine if he had ended up at usc... man that would have sucked a big fat cock.

    They also need more time to hire a GM since they got rid of the emperor.

    I think the only way he doesn't go back to college is if the Titans come calling.

    My wife asked me Saturday night who that homeless man was on the sideline. I told her it was the QB of the Eagles.

    How accountable was Kelly for the Eagles bad year? I don't know the answer, which is why I'm asking. I've seen reports that he was deflecting blame onto his #2, the personnel guy he hired after forcing Gamble out.

    If I'm an owner and a guy is screwing up the way Kelly screwed up this year I'm pissed but I take into account what he did in 2013 and 2014 as well. If he's not taking full accountability for the mess, well then I'm likely going to let him go in a way that makes it clear I'm pissed at him.

    I'm thinking Lurie is very pissed off at Kelly right now.

    You're right but Landry is definitely a possession receiver.

    He's also the best player on either side of the ball for them.

    Even when the team quit he was playing all out. Really jealous of Miami having him.

    The biggest problem with Kelly is his overemphasis on the tempo of the offense. For it to be effective he can dial down the speed at which they run plays at certain points of the game to save his defense and the offense will still be effective.

    As you stated you also can't have a quarterback made of glass running the system. Foles isn't all-world but he's not afraid to get hit.

    Let's just hope the Pats never get their hands on him while Brady is still playing.

    I don't think we'll have to worry about that since Nick Saban no longer coaches the Fins.

    That would be a HUGE mistake imo. Charlie Strong is a great HC.

    Right. They have to set things up in the FO ASAP for the upcoming draft, FA, and roster designations....might as well get a head start
