Teddy Bridgewater is what happens.

But no, we'd have to have a terrible year for that to arise. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we finish with a better record than 8-8 this year.

Unless it's the playoffs, Chip will be crucified by the media. If he shows improvement then he should be fine in my eyes

Implementing 2 completely new schemes.
Trying teach our front seven on D
Growing pains from the QB position.
Growing pains from the staff
The overall lack of high end talent
All this coupled with schedule we have to pay next season.

I'll be thrilled if we win 4 games next season.

Difference between out of the question and actual prediction. I said at most it's probably 6-10.
QB point I agree with though

The Eagles' site had a piece on the coordinators.

Pat Shurmur - Age 47, 23 years of coaching experience (12 NFL).
"We'll run through a brick wall for him." - Browns LB D'Qwell Jackson.

Billy Davis - Age 47, 21 years of NFL experience.
"I am excited for Billy and I'm excited for the Eagles. I think he will be a good fit for what they're trying to do defensively. He's a very good football coach. I know he gets a lot out of his players. His ability and knowledge from having been in this league I think will be a great addition to Coach Kelly and what they're trying to get done there." - Chargers OC Ken Whisenhunt.

"Billy is a great man and a great coach, one that I have a ton of respect for in the coaching ranks. He has a tremendous work ethic and knows how to get the most out of his players. Philadelphia hired a great coach in Billy and I wish him nothing but the best." - Steelers DC - LeBeau.

Dave Fipp - age 38, 16 years of coaching experience (6 NFL).
What They've Said About Fipp: "He really knows what he's talking about. He's a very player-friendly coach. He's not just going to jump on you for no reason or just yell and scream. But he knows how to coach a kid. He knows how to get through to each individual guy. From what I see of him, I think he knows how to relate to each individual player and to help them get better in whatever way they need to." - 49ers punter Andy Lee.

Nobody should be blaming people for looking at the situation pragmatically.

These are just the facts. College coaches with no NFL experience have not had the greatest of transitions throughout history. Chip Kelly is a brilliant football coach, and I'm excited for him. But that excitement doesn't compensate for the fact that he has never coached millionaires and professional athletes in general. It's a different landscape.

Chip Kelly will basically be directing the operations in Philadelphia, but without much experience himself. Sure, between Shurmur and Davis he'll have the necessary help, but it's still Chip's vision that's going to make the wheels turn. If not, why is he the head coach?

Then getting into Shurmur and Davis. Again, if we're looking at this pragmatically, can you really blame people for being pessimistic?

Davis has failed in his two stints as defensive coordinator. No organization throughout his pro career has ever kept him for more than 3 seasons. If he's a productive, quality member of your staff, you'd think someone at some point would have kept him around longer than 3 years.

Shurmur isn't a bad coach by any means, but he's also not someone you can really get excited for. If my memory serves me right, he's only been an offensive coordinator for 2 or so seasons with St. Louis, where he had some success.

You still get a bad taste in your mouth because he served on Reid's staff for 10 or so years, the same guy we just fired.

Is outright trashing the team at this point warranted? Absolutely not. Jim Johnson was an unknown coach who had some bad marks on his resume before becoming the legend he is now in Philadelphia.

But you also can't really get mad at the people looking at this situation with some pessimism either. This team has been letting us down for how long? We're used to it, we're expecting it.

Reid did his homework with Jim Johnson.
So we have to put our trust in Chip and hope he knows what he's doing with this coaching staff.

But it still remains that Chip, and even Howie Roseman, are largely doing things for the first time and without any or a whole lot of experience at this level.
