Questions Would Surround QB Position If Kelly Comes This Way
BREAKING NEWS, Eagles, News, Quarterbacks Friday, December 28th, 2012
Everybody’s hearing and talking about Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly being the number choice of the Philadelphia Eagles after they let Andy Reid and his staff go on Monday. There’s also been stories floating around that Kelly is the number one choice of the Carolina Panthers.
Of course the Panthers have talented young quarterback Cam Newton, who would seem to fit Kelly offense, which features speed at the quarterback position. Newton would seem to be a better choice than Eagles young quarterback Nick Foles. I wonder if Kelly would be interested in taking a look at Michael Vick, who has a lot of mileage on his body.
If Kelly continues his system of signaling in the offensive adjustments to the quarterback from the sidelines, when the offense is at the line of scrimmage, it will take some of the pressure of the team’s quarterbacks to make so many decisions at the line of scrimmage.
I’m interested in seeing how Kelly’s system will work against the speed of NFL defenses. I think Kelly’s system will force NFL defenses to change their personnel on the defensive line. The speed of his offensive skill position players and the rapidity of the plays will force teams to get smaller on the defensive line. It could reduce the use of huge nose tackles. Big players, especially big defensive linemen will tire out and be totally ineffective against that hurry-up offense.
I could see him having a problem with keeping his quarterbacks healthy. It will be difficult to let the big linebackers and defensive linemen in the league pound on a quarterback without eventually knocking him out of the game.

I wonder what Reid says to his players at halftime? bye or I gotta do a better job?
I say he is making phone calls to owners setting up interviews.
ain’t nobody hiring this guy for next season
Halftime: #4 pick, sealed and delivered. Let’s get a CB,FS or a DT.
They’ve already cut over to the Lions/Bears game where I live.
Riley Cooper is our best DB. He knocked that Int away…..
I think the options are CB, OL, safety, DL, LB
PItchers and Catchers in 45 days.
Philip Hunt in his first action in 6 weeks and he gets a sack. Where has he been again?
Vin,
I think the priority for defensive player is skyrocketing up the charts.
y
Shady plays hard ALL OF THE TIME. I LOVE THAT GUY>
Now that the Giants have secured the Eagles of the #4 pick lets go Bears knock the Giants out.
Can Lurie PLEASE pull the trigger on #24. MAN HE SUCKS! I don’t care what scheme they use next season he flat out STINKS.
finally a good coaching decision they benched nhamdi
It’s obvious that the Eagles offensive players are racist given how hard they play for Foles as opposed to Vick. Hahahahaha. Songs and Peace have probably already called the NAACP and Jesse Jackson to come in and investigate.
Yeah.
They play SOOOOO hard for Foles. What was that game with the five fumbles in how many minutes…and 2 minutes worth of possession in the 4th quarter (or was it third).
They play so hard. They’ve won how many games again with Foles?
Oh okay.
I have togiveyou credit, you are the only apoligist on here today.
I am an idiot.
Yeah. I’m apologizing. Because I pointed out how silly btc4 comment was?
Dude. Spare me.
i am an idiot.
Are you listening to Vick on CSN? Throwing all under thebus
Honestly…considering how the defense played today and how badly the line has played all year eh…it is what is.
He didn’t have a good game. But the defense game was worst.
Love it. FAT ANDY GO OUT THE LOSER THAT YOU ARE.
SCHILLER AND NAVY… IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?
Still believe in supporting that loser?
I’m sure you will be back to kiss the rear of the new coach.
A fitting end.
Bring on the high Draft Pick.
Quit with the Chip Kelley Crap.
NOBODY HAS SAID HE’S COMING TO THE EAGLES SO QUIT WRITING IT.
What’s that song that Don Meredith use to sing, “Turn out the lights”…….
There is no way that any Vick or Reid supporters can advocate a return of either man after today. A fitting end to this regime, signed and sealed. An eagles win where they played inspired football and Vick played well would have just filled up these pages with desperate hangers on.
Replaced by a guy who hasn’t thrown a pass in two years. Vinnie 7 is heading north
Nobody ever wanted Vick to stay. Yes Vick stinks, The issue is that Foles stinks and the whole team stinks.
I’ve been stating fir over 2 Months now, that this Team is in a complete rebuild mode, no well known HC is coming into this train wreck, Dysfunctionable Franchise. The next HC is going to be a move up for that person
(Coming from a coordinator level or a HC who failed before in their previous job/team and wants to be a HC again – Mike Nolan, Mike Singketsry, Josh McDaniels) but for those who think its going to be a Championship proven Caliber Coach (Cowher,Jon Gruden, Tony Dungy) stop the non-sense already..
It’s going to be an under the radar hiring for a 3-5 Year plan to rebuild this Franchise for this will be no easy fix in a more competitive and stronger
NFC Conference. Rebuild the Team to be able to compete within in their own Divsion first then worry about the other Good Teams in the NFC, because the way it looks to me, only the NFC East Divsion Winner will make the Plaoffs over the next couple of Seasons as the other Divisions are simply better and much more likely to get wild-card spots before the NFC East does
Dagold
I don’t think anyone denies that. Need to clean it out. What did Parcells say ” Your record is what it says you are. 4-12 means they stink. But a new path starts on Monday.
Finally its over, no more debating we can sit back and watch them raze everything.
Paulman, any coach taking a new job as HC is likely going to a crappy team since good teams don’t fire their coaches. So I disagree that a lot of coaches would not want to come here. I think of all the expected vacancies over the next few days, the Eagles HC position will be one of the most appealing. This team underachieved more so than being bad.
I give it all I got… Sometimes I wish I could play other positions… 7… All aboutme, my team matesblow
They do, after this game is that even a question? I don’t care how much you sugarcoat things they blow chunks. Cigar he’ll start somewhere next year how many other guys on the Eagles can say that?
He is exciting and people think he is lightning in a bottle… But damn he is me first and low character after these comments
Look for the Eagles to be bottom feeders for the next 10 years. At least when Andy came there was a core leadership group and a very good scouting unit with Modrak as GM.
Now?
Every facet of this organization is flawed with Reid’s tentacles throughout the whole machine.
There’s no leadership core and the front office down is a hot mess.
This team is in way worse shape before he came.
HE BROKE IT!!!
‘ if I could do it myself I would, buti can’t, go back and look at the film’ holy shit!
Cigar the bus hits him 3 days after the Super Bowl, he’s getting his shots in now.
Vick has been the model citizen this year. I can see him popping off now. He knows it’s done. And life goes on.
The ‘leader’ of the team has character… He ain’t no 5 wow…what a loser. He is a me first guy. Complain about 5 all you want but he talked we… 7 talks i
Some guys that don’t put out. He is going out like the punk he is. Listen to him talk to d. Gunn. God damn I have never heard a Qb punk out like this
Have, you are wrong, mike Vick has way more character than McNabb, Vick did everything the organization asked him, he left it all on the field, unlike McNabb, Vick is not a good NFL quarterback , but to attack him personally, no he’s a good man, sincere, he was playing with some bums, mostlley on defense, I respect mike Vick a lot, he tried to make the most of a second chance, but he’s a bad quarterback
He’s not a bad QB. He’s good in the right system. Strong run game, decent oline. He’ll be fine.
But I can’t hate on dude. Not a negative peep all year. If he wants to get it out now so be it.
i am an idiot.
@haveacigar Im watching DNL and Vick is being commended by the staff. He reportedly has tried to get this team together with resisitance from non-Ried players who didnt care. Its being reported Vick would stay late all the time with Reid to work on his game. Its being reported to this day Vick goes and does dog fighting things at schools weekly. Was he good enough on the field NO. But hedid play ahrd and for Andy Reid. So your barkingup the wrong tree with effort from Vick.
He is loyal to Reid so if he senses Reid is fired he’s going to pop off about guys quitting and playing like punks.
He is obviously very loyal to Reid. And considering some of Reid’s decisions this year I’m impressed.
He spoke the truth to gun, this team is pathetic, someone finally said it, but no more Vick as a qb, it put this franchise back three years
agreed
Disagree. Vick ddin’t put this franchise back 3 years. Andy Reids decisions last year put this team back. From Washburn, to Mudd to Juan. All those decisions led to the insanity that has been these last two years. QB was the least of their problems (VIck/Foles).
Yup. Vick (as ive stated a million times) is like the 55th problem with this team. Hes small potatos compared to the real problems. Good news tho… the main problems are out the door… 1. Reid. 2. Marty. 3. Any so called d.c. hired in years. 4. Wide 9. 5. Nnamdi?
Your forgetting Bobby April too
I rescind a lot of what I said. I do like Vick and I like his redemption story. I just think that the lack of character on this team is disgusting. I took it out on Vick. I do like to hear him talk and do believe he has gone from total asshole to a decent person.
I NEVER questioned his effort or his toughness
Ray D said it all. This team has no character, no integrity, no heart, no core character players. That translates in to a losing squad. It will be about 3 years until the winning starts again. The new coach has to weed through the garbage and instill an attitude change
You may be right that he’s in the v wrong system, but his time is past, I will cheer mike Vick and still boo McNabb
I am about 20 minutes behind on CSN.. Who are these players that are disinterested? I want names! Who are the cancers? I was WRONG. Vick wasn’t the leadership problem… Who is it? Ficking DRC and Namdi? Definitely babin
Cigar it started with Washburn having no respect for other d coaches and filtered down to the players. We can blame certain guys but trust me it started in the coaches room.
Fucking Washburn… I hate him!
But it’s time for the future , they need to get this head coach decision right
The most important decision Lurie has had to make since he hired Reid for our sakes he better get it right.
Mike mccoy
Bingo HAC, he has been my choice all along.
Andy Reid has 1 year left on his contract.
A lot of vitriol for Andy tonight. I would sum up the 14 years this way:
Unfulfilled, frustrating, exasperating,confusing but……
he did help resurrect this franchise from Rhodes,Kotite and he always gave props to the fans and help build Eagle Nation. Good luck to him. It was just time for him to move on.
Lurie needs to make sure the next coach doesn’t get 14 chances.
Ruben Frank has already reported that Andy is out. His meeting with Lurie has already taken place before the game.
No hating on Andy, 5 NFC championship games hate to see it end this way. Hiring Washburn was the worst thing he did, that dude undermined every good thing he did single handedly destroyed his locker room.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY
Andy is to finish his contract .. LMAO I KNEW IT
WTF are you talking about?!? Lay off the sauce!
