    Buffalo traded this year's first rounder to move up a couple spots to pick Sammy Watkins. Only a loser franchise makes trades like that. They could have waited, picked Beckman or Mike Evans and given up nothing.

    As I have posted before, Chip will win a college playoff game before he wins an NFL playoff game.

    His team's are not designed to play good defenses that force 3 and outs. He will continue to defeat poor and mediocre teams, and win Thursday games after Sunday games, and lose to good teams.

    This isn't last year's Eagles.

    Or a team like Pittsburgh waits to pick an Antonio Brown. It's no secret why you consistently have the skins, raiders, bills, and jets of the world being plungered by the patriots, steelers, Hawks, and Ravens of the world.

    With a strict salary cap, owners and GMs are astronomically more important than the actual coaches and players of a franchise in the NFL.

    I would agree with this statement 81%.

    Pete Carroll proves coaching is still the other 19%.

    His leadership pulled the Seahawks together and got them to a Super Bowl when things didn't look to good at the start of the year.

    I love Chip but so far his offseason has looked like a steaming pile of shit. The McCoy for Alonso trade wasn't bad at all but everything else is:

    - Grossly overpaying for Maxwell. I get why they overpaid, it's free agency and he was the #1 DB in the class. However, the DB class is pretty bad and this reeks of Chip signing someone because he had to. Good GM's maximize their value rather than win outrageous bidding wars over players. He also swung and missed on McCourty. Now the Eagles are going to be putting Maxwell on an island against other team's #1 receivers and he'll be up against Dez, Djack, and Odell 6 times a year. For how much he is being paid, he will be expected to win those battles. Do you really think he will more often than not?
    - Giving Sanchize $16 million. Why?
    - Letting Maclin walk. If they were willing to shell out big money to Maxwell, why not Maclin. Their WR corp would feature Riley Cooper as their #1. That's worse than Seattle's pathetic WR corp.

    Maybe popping off too early here, free agency hasn't technically started yet but these all seem locked in.
