Chip Kelly is perfectly fine with discussing whether or not he wants to move up or down in the draft to select a quarterback.
What he can’t envision — is the day that the Eagles are faced with picking No. 1 or 2 overall. At that point, Kelly believes he’ll be looking for a new job.
“When you look at all the winning organizations,” Kelly said, via CSNPhilly.com, “if you want to play with the odds as we want to play, it’s got to be with a quarterback situation and then the only way you’re going to get a quarterback is you got to be really not very good so you finish in the top 1-2 in the draft. If we’re not very good and we finish with the top 1-2 in the draft, I don’t think I’m going to be here, so we better find another way to find a quarterback. And that’s what we did with Sam.”
Kelly is surely right that if the Eagles collapse and get the first or second pick in the draft, he won’t be making the selection.
