Chip Kelly: I rated Odell Beckham No. 1 overall in last year

.

and trying to sound like you aren't going to trade up for Mariota (which you are going to try to do at least)

right after he made this comment.

Fat boy

Kelly said he just doesn’t believe in giving up that much to move up.

Could be smoke, but would seem to refute the rumors PHI would move up to take Mariota..

Kelly said he wouldn't move into the top 10 to get MM.

that Beckham was the best player in the draft? I don't remember that.

So it's basically a lock.

You dissapointed? I wasn't in charge.

Contradict much?

I just didnt have time to buy a ticket.

The GM's that picked before the Giants blew it

the football master. Clearly this man is a cut above everyone else coaching, scouting, playing, training, working concessions or involved with any facet of the game of football.

Perhaps someday there will be another individual who will at least match his football acumen, although do not hold your breath for such a thing to occur. Hopefully TC is watching closely, I have no doubt he will be able to learn a few things from Chip. A football mind like this only comes about once a generation, if you are lucky.

Time to roll these clowns this year and bring this guy down a peg.

call the commish!

since no one on planet earth remembers you saying that, why don't you give us the best player in this draft BEFORE the draft?

Gonna be fun to watch the implosion.

........

Pompous jackass.

but he is getting dangerously close to referring to himself in the third person...

Chip's account was "We were real high on him. He never got to where we were but we were very high on him coming out."

"very high on him" is not exactly "best player in the draft."

He says that he wouldn't give up that much to get Beckham out of one side of his mouth while the other states that it wasn't his decision. Bra-vo.

a nut. I hope it's the latter.

...shit.

Show me the pre-2014 Draft piece with Kelly quoted as saying this.

assholes. Buddy Ryan pretty much embodied everything that I hated about the Eagles and their fans. Buddy was full of shit and a dirty coach, and the fans loved that. But he never won a playoff game and at some point, that act wears thin.

Kelly is different. He's full of shit, but in a way that he seems to think he's smarter than everyone else and has figured the game out. But I think he's on thin ice there because it seems even the Eagle fans aren't sure what he's doing. If the Eagles get off to a slow start, that whole thing could well collapse on itself.

To be honest, if you look at how the NFL execs have been acting, they seem to be goading Chip. The statements about Mariotta from Tennessee. Even the Redskins saying they might go for him. It's all pretty much clearly targeted at Chip. He's got a target on him because the GMs think they have a sucker on their hands.

As I said in other posts, there is no middle ground with Kelly. Either he's going to be a big success and become a pain in our collective asses for years. Or he'll be back coaching in college again and will never get back in the NFL.

Yep. Buddy Ryan never won a single playoff game for them and was barely over .500 in his tenure, but he's worshipped by them like he's Vince Lombardi. Meanwhile, Andy Reid, who at least got them close to a championship, was generally disliked.

that saying crap in Oregon is not the same as saying things in Philly/NFL..........

with the shit that flows out of his mouth.

The other teams in our division have been vocal about obj rightfully so.there's only been 2 other players we have had that I was this excited about at this point in their careers since I've been watching Giants football and that was LT and Eli

which everyone already knew. But it was confirmed yesterday.

At an earlier press conference after signing DeMarco Murray, he said the owner came to him and expressed the interest in Kelly taking full control. Kelly said he never asked.

Well yesterday, the owner said it was Kelly's idea.

Looking forward to watching him go down in flames.

To be fair, no coach will speak before the draft as to who they rate the highest. However, he should say it shortly after the draft. So I agree he distorts the truth

I agree 100%. Kelly is trying too hard to say he isn't interested in trading up etc.

For some odd reason, Kelly's comments reminded me of the line in the movie Patton:

Quote:

There's absolutely no reason for us to assume the Germans are mounting a major offensive. The weather is awful, Their supplies are low, and the German army hasn't mounted a winter offensive since the time of Frederick the Great — therefore I believe that's exactly what they're going to do.

Lurie gave responsibility for all player selection decisions to Kelly. Roseman is still responsible for cap management, but Kelly now controls all personnel decisions including the draft. I suspect Kelly's comment regarding Beckham is an attempt to illustrate how much better Kelly's judgment compared to Roseman's and to assure Eagles fans that Lurie made the right decision.

Which is all well and good, but at the same time he's saying that he wouldn't have given up that much to get Beckham himself. Not even sure why bother mentioning the power structure change at that point, since according to Kelly it was irrelevant at the time.

the sllies were caught off guard by the 44 offensive. But point taken

And I had Tom Brady ranked #1 overall in his draft.

What a douche.

would have you convinced St Mary's school for the blind was a threat to beat ND.


Its just coach speak.

Bingo...

then again every player that I would have taken first overall in every draft since I have been alive has gone on to be the best player each year in their draft.

and give up a lot and someone brings up his statement about not trading up for Beckham because it was too costly.
