Chip Kelly - Head Coach, Philadelphia Eagles

[shorebird]

Facetiousness aside, if you don't count Maclin I think you're right. The difference is that I do count Maclin, and I think he was a bigger loss than you do. I actually think he's the best all-around receiver on the team, and I think he opens even more up for Jackson as the big play threat. It's not like there was a lot behind him to make up for that. Even though Cooper came up big by Cooper standards, he's still Cooper. That's my main point.

im not saying macklin sucks or anything i just dont think he worth any additional wins....hes a nominal player....trust me i would have rather had mack on the team but i could counter all you said by saying that riley kkkooper replaced him and that pimp had his best year ever...i completely agree with you on the depth aspect...the thing macks absence did most was push jason avant into getting way too many snaps

all thats not even the point tho....if you graded their injury year 2013 its an A+ even with mack getting hurt and i cant see them being this fortunate again next year....but maybe the magic smoothies really work

Desean's play is completely contingent on the WR opposite him? No...like you said, his game is speed. The WR opposite just has to play well enough the opposing defenses can't focus only on Pimp, which idiot kkkooper did; however, having Maclin might have been enough for the Eagles to beat the Saints

This. Maclin doesn't drop the pass that Cooper did right in his numbers.

DAMN! That was quick. Ok. You got me, maybe he would have dropped it.

Kelly is the reason Pimp had his best year.   Kelly is also the reason Shady had his best year.   

[Tomahawk]

Meh...I think Pimp is the reason Jackson had his best year and Shady is the reason McCoy had his

[Rome]

I was being sarcastic because that's what Kelly would do.

4. chipper

Hoody & Rivera were the 2 at the top of my list. 1 & 1a, so either could have won and been fine in my book.  Hell, I wouldn't complain if Chip got it either.  Reid's season was a mirage. They only won 1 game all season against playoff teams (Eagles)...or teams that finished above .500 for that matter. He greatly benefitted from probably the weakest non-divisional schedule in the league.

[ice grillin you]

i would take andy and chipper both out for that same reason...especially andy cause he came into an excellent talent base

hoody to me should have gotten it...what he did with that team was pretty amazing

Eagles def had a favorable schedule, especially considering they caught some injury breaks by not facing Rodgers, gimpy RG3, Reggie Bush hurting himself just before kickoff, etc, etc.

The 3 reasons I'd say Chip deserves consideration are:

1.  He didn't inherit much talent, especially on defense.

2.  His opening day starter was injured by week 5 I think. Very few teams overcome the loss of their starter without a veteran backup.

3. Never coached a day in the league before.

Reid did what you'd expect him to do. He took a team with excellent individual talent and got them on the same page. He brought stability to the QB position and he won a lot of games against less talented teams.  Oh, and he farged up a perfectly good season with terrible clock management and play calling at the end.

On the plus side, none of his kids offed themselves this year, so maybe he finally snags that coveted Dad of the Year award.

Tony Dungy wins Dad of the year, every year, for eternity, in our land of illusions.

I also thought it was refreshing when he said there were six guys he wanted at 22 but they were all gone. None of the usual crap about how the main guy they were targeting just happened to fall into their hands and they couldn't believe their luck, etc.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He said he's not averse to taking another wideout tomorrow too bc there's so many of them
