Huh? Ask Chad Lewis and Brent Celek about that.

I made a trade earlier in the season and traded Walker instead of Kelce. At the time, each had the same production, except Kelce was seeing more targets per game. So from a fantasy perspective, he gets a decent amount of targets for a TE. I believe part of what's killed Kelce's production is the loss of Jamaal Charles.

This f'ing guy cost me a playoff berth. I hope all his teeth fall out.

Well, he essentially was the CEO of Bon Jovi. The other guys in the group were really his employees. It's well documented. In terms of net worth, I couldn't see him having that kind of scratch himself. He at one time did have ownership in the Philadelphia Soul, so maybe it's the same guys looking to buy an NFL team this time around.

To be quite honest, I would love to see Chip make a trade offer for Tannehill. I believe he's wasting away in Miami. He's a physical talent, and it makes no sense to keep him as a game manager. My hope is that Chip learned from his mistakes from last off-season. The offensive line must be the prime focus for him in the upcoming off-season. And it needs to happen in the draft and not FA. i think the defense is trending in the right direction, and he needs to lock up Cox and Logan to long term deals. Those guys are stars.

But that's like asking who would win in a race, the one armed guy in a wheelchair or the no legged guy on crutches.

I don't crucify them as much for the pick because they got Matthews in the 2nd round, and he was a steal at that pick. So if you were to flip flop the picks, then no one would really bat an eye. Truth be told, I think Marcus Smith has some talent. But unless the pick is a QB, a first round pick cannot be a project. What makes it worse is that OLB was not a need position prior to the draft.

Yep, I lost that bet and went away for awhile. Still and Eagles' fan although not as hard-headed and standoff-ish. Been coming to the bored more and more because my fantasy team's been riddled with injuries this year. Any little edge I can get, I will take.

That me.

In hindsight, they should have matched the offer because it would have prevented them from making an offer to Murray. The Eagles could have used their first round pick on an interior offensive lineman. Also in hindsight, they have last year's first round pick, Marcus Smith, doing diddly squat. At that pick last year, they were slotted to pick Zack Martin, another building block interior offensive lineman. Chip being the GM, yeah, I'm not confident in his ability to do the job properly.

And it's one thing to deconstruct a team to build your own roster, and another to do it while saddling the team with big money contracts. That is my fear, that he digs such a deep hole the team will never climb out of it. It was a total mistake to give Kelly the GM job, but it's ok because it chased away Roseman. I'm one of the few who likes Bradford as the long term starter. I would not give him big money. Loaded incentive based deal. Because it doesn't make sense to invest in a QB if the organization won't invest heavily in an offensive line to protect him. They have alot of big decisions to make this off-season. Fletcher Cox and Lane Johnson will be coming to look for long term deals. They need a QB and to invest in the OL. Is Chip capable of doing it? It frightens me to death.

Trust me, alot of fans want him out of town today. I think the only thing keeping his house from being burned down is that they're only a game out of first place in the division. The team he had in the first year had two major components that he doesn't have today: Jackson as the vertical threat, and a stout offensive line. In all fairness, the middle of their offensive line sucks. It truly does. But, Chip the GM allowed the line to get that way, which really does limit what an offense can and cannot do. His unwillingness to change and adapt is the reason I want him gone. He's not smarter than everyone else in the league.

Murray's main issue this season, IMO, is the formation. This particular read option formation doesn't bode well for his running style. Yes, he ran out of this formation at Oklahoma, but that was eons ago. Since he's been in the league, he's adapted his running style to the one and two back set behind the QB. Murray was really effective in the one quarter against Washington when Kelly had Bradford under center. Kelly has done SQUAT to accommodate his players into his offense, nor has he adjusted the offense to fit the talent (and lack of ) of his personnel. As an Eagles' fan, I was expecting a offensive genius as our coach. Instead, we've got a coach who truly offensive, especially his apparent disdain for how the game is played in the NFL. He truly is a fraud. No one is saying to abandon the read option. But, mix it up. Give your guys a shot to do something within the game plan.

Thanks

That's really all I look for in my deep backups. He has the pedigree, he's now healthy, and when he plays, he produces. I'm seeing alot of upside for the rest of this year.
