Falling ontop of the Sword for Mariota

Chip Kelly is an assett. He knows this - we see his confidence in his roster decisions, press conferences, and ambitious play calls.

We should know this too, and we should use it to do what is best for this franchise. The 49ers are expected to ask for a first round pick in ex-change for Jim Harbaugh, who is clearly not the coach that Kelly is. Look at what Kelly is doing with a roster that isn't particularly elite or impress-ive.

So here's what we do: trade Chip Kelly and our first round pick for the first overall pick. Elite coaches are just as in-demand as elite quarter-backs. If Chip Kelly trusts Mariota so much, we should trust his instincts one last time - and use Chip, literal-ly as a bargaining chip, to bring him in. Bold-ness of trading can be good of the Eagles for the future.

Dis-cuss.
