From an injury perspective, I keep Barkley as 3rd QB

Excuse me, but

Am I prescient and can I say for sure that Kelly will win it? Of course not

Get a dog.

Some coaches have emotional attachments to their teams. Usually ex-players for said team.

But most don't care who sign their paychecks.

Last year the only coaches who had even played in the NFL were:

Fisher
Garrett
Marrone
Jim Harbaugh
Whitehurst
Rivera

Looks like a list of losers by certain standards.

But hey, if the Dallas/Jones/Garrett method floats your boat that's cool. It's worked out well so far for them.

So you agree Kelly isn't invested in the Eagles. Just another paycheck.

No I think your premise is preposterous from multiple angles. And assuming Garrett or even any former NFL player turned coach is more "emotionally" invested that seems to mean little in terms of winning and probably nothing in terms of being invested in their team and it's success.

You're the fan that is hedging your emotional investment. Stop pretended you or that emotional investment does or should equate to a player or coach.

Bwah! I think Chip is a twerp whether he wins a Super Bowl or not. And if he doesn't, ITYS. You can't disqualify half of the most talented players in the league because they stay up late and expect to succeed.

I was thinking of Bart Starr as an emotionally invested coach. But that's just because I'm old I guess. Times have changed.

Let me phrase this another way

So fucking what?

So fucking what?

Your retarded.

Ok, so let me get this straight. You don't think Kelly is significantly invested in the team and you think he's foolish and a "twerp" because he wants players who ARE significantly invested in the team.

Seriously?

Bart Starr's emotional investment got him a 1-1 playoff record and a 0.408 winning percentage as a head coach. Couldn't you have picked a better example like Ditka?

So, you and Chip are equally invested in the success of this team? If that makes him a "twerp," what does that make you?

Your a troll ... and don't think us retards don't know it.
