The only way I could see the Eagles wanting to get Manziel is if he was an asset that would be wanted by the team we trade up with to get Mariotta.If Manziel was who Chip wanted, he could have had him last year, but he basically passed on him so Cleveland could take him. And Manziel did nothing but hurt his value with the season he had last year.
If this was a method for adding picks to move up to get mariota I'm down. If the intent is to have Johnny football on this team week one I will move on to being a Union fan.
It might be a better trade if you exclude Manziel though (though not enough)#12 + #20 + Kendricks + Manziel ----> #2 (Mariota)
Still feel like that wouldn't get it done...
Just for the sheer ridiculousness of it.I'm sure it's not possible, but if Chip actually were able to turn Foles into Bradford into Manziel into Mariota (with other ancillary pieces along the way), that would be pretty impressive maneuvering.
seyi Ajirotutu. He won me a game 2-3 years ago.So we signed Biggers and a WR from the Chargers I can't spell.
Ironically trading Bradford for Manziel sounds like a type of move I'd expect from the Union.If this was a method for adding picks to move up to get mariota I'm down. If the intent is to have Johnny football on this team week one I will move on to being a Union fan.
It does seem like Chip isn't a fan of "stars" in the NFL. Which is fine, and works as long as he wins, it is what it is and you guys will probably see more of that type of atmosphere in Philly if Kelly sticks around.Just saw where today McCoy is saying Buffalo feels more like the NFL.....that's hilarious. The more he cries the more it seems like Chip made the right move...what a crybaby.
That's ridiculous, if he picks a player that becomes a star you think he will get rid of him because he is a "star"? These are Reid's players he inherited. Demarco Murray was a bigger star than McCoy, why did he sign him?thayman said:It does seem like Chip isn't a fan of "stars" in the NFL.

That's part of it. It seems like he's wanted to get rid of all of the high profile players that were there when he showed up. Again nothing wrong with that, as long as he wins. Chip's done well with what Reid left for him. I'm very interested to see how the new look all Chip team performs.He loves stars...if they're HIS stars.That's ridiculous, if he picks a player that becomes a star you think he will get rid of him because he is a "star"?

Take out Manziel and it looks much better. I think there's no chance this is actually real, but for argument's sake I think if you could get #12 from the Browns the deal above plus another first rounder would get it done I think. Still don't think it's a good idea though.#12 + #20 + Kendricks + Manziel ----> #2 (Mariota)

Understand the point you're trying to make, but this is just BS.Demarco Murray was a bigger star than McCoy...
I think your vision is skewed as an Eagles fan and are stuck in the past, last year the guy with the star on his helmet was the star and probably best RB in the league. Not the one that cries to the media everyday looking for the attention. If you want to go back 2 or 3 years then yes.Understand the point you're trying to make, but this is just BS.Demarco Murray was a bigger star than McCoy...
I think this is true and Chip's taken a big gamble. A lot more talent has gone out the door than has come back in, at least to this point. I'm a big fan of Chip the coach, I was dubious on the a lot of the scheme stuff, but it works. The tempo idea I think is brilliant, last year showed why. An offense that was mediocre (blame OL injuries, Shady/Foles, whatever) on a play by play basis was #5 in the NFL because they just ran more plays. I also think the defence's problems are at least as much of their own making (couldn't cover or get off the field on 3rd down) as due to the "pressure" the offense puts on them.That's part of it. It seems like he's wanted to get rid of all of the high profile players that were there when he showed up. Again nothing wrong with that, as long as he wins.

For 1 year yes, the year before that McCoy led the league in rushing. If you look at their careers on balance I don't think anyone would say Murray's had the better career so far and they're the same age. I think last year was the first time anybody would have put Murray in the same tier as McCoy.I think your vision is skewed as an Eagles fan and are stuck in the past, last year the guy with the star on his helmet was the star and probably best RB in the league.

McCoy has been in the league 2 years longer although they are same age. With the point being the comment that "Chip doesn't like stars" since he was just signed recently this season would be the most relevant I would think in judging that.For 1 year yes, the year before that McCoy led the league in rushing.

ignorant people say all kinds of crazy thingsI've heard people say that Belichick the coach's greatest challenge is Belichick the GM and I think he's better at it than Kelly's shown to be so far. I'm not sure talent wise the changes are more than a wash but we've greatly overpaid for what we've brought in IMO. Not sure Chip has the patience for negotiations. It's like he thinks "what do I have to do to get this finalised today?". Paid way over market rate for Murray and I can't believe anybody was offering Miles Austin $2.3m or guaranteeing $1m.
What do I know though?
Good link thanks for posting it, I hadn't actually done a comparison but I have read that POV, with examples of a few howlers but I guess every team has those.ignorant people say all kinds of crazy thingsI've heard people say that Belichick the coach's greatest challenge is Belichick the GM and I think he's better at it than Kelly's shown to be so far.

Especially since each move is a downgrade.I'm sure it's not possible, but if Chip actually were able to turn Foles into Bradford into Manziel into Mariota (with other ancillary pieces along the way), that would be pretty impressive maneuvering.
No one is a downgrade from Manziel, especially someone that hasn't played a down in the NFL yet.Rimez said:Especially since each move is a downgrade.I'm sure it's not possible, but if Chip actually were able to turn Foles into Bradford into Manziel into Mariota (with other ancillary pieces along the way), that would be pretty impressive maneuvering.

I mean, I know none of them are Kirk Cousins, but I'd be happy to settle for Mariota personally.

I think its more likely the Browns are saying "no really - if you want to deal, you HAVE to take Manziel off our hands".Skoo said:I don't buy the Manziel report unless it's soley to use him as trade bait. (is he worth anything right now?)
As others have said, Chip could've had Manziel last year.
And after his 2014 season, he is pretty much the farthest thing from being a "Chip" guy.

Does Kelly run much shot glass?If this was a method for adding picks to move up to get mariota I'm down. If the intent is to have Johnny football on this team week one I will move on to being a Union fan.

Well, yeah, sure, under those conditions.Many big IFs here, but let's say that if Browns want to merely purge themselves of Manziel and want to save face by trading him, and if he as a result were a mere throw in a Mariota trade, and if he's re-focused following rehab, and if he were given a 1 screw up and your cut ultimatum, how would you feel having him as 3rd QB instead of Barkley?
As a 3rd-string QB, not sure why this even matters much, but sure I would take him over Barkley. I would probably being willing to listen to about anyone this side of Babe Laufenberg over Barkley.Many big IFs here, but let's say that if Browns want to merely purge themselves of Manziel and want to save face by trading him, and if he as a result were a mere throw in a Mariota trade, and if he's re-focused following rehab, and if he were given a 1 screw up and your cut ultimatum, how would you feel having him as 3rd QB instead of Barkley?

I can see this not exactly flying off the shelves right now, with the trade rumors still swirling. Plus many will be in wait and see mode, to make sure his ACL doesn't explode, from a hot dog wrapper blowing into it, or something.
According to a source with ties to NFL Films, the league has footage of running back LeSean McCoy “threatening to hit” Chip Kelly during the last game of the season against the Giants. The source claims that the league knew McCoy would “be off the team months before” the trade was announced.
Several NFL spokespeople declined to comment, as did a member of the footage licensing department.
Doesn't surprise me. McCoy just sounds like a complete ****. He was fun to watch but some of his actions just scream huge #####.Obviously this needs to be corroborated by another source since this is just a blog site, but if this rumor has any legs, we sold high on McCoy:
