So every chance I get to make a stab at Chip, I'm going to do it. Just like rickah is going to make a stab at Murray or the Titans every chance he gets.

And I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities for both of us... Because Chip sucks. And the Titans suck. But I at least have hope because of MM8 and Jon Robinson... I have zero hope for Chip.

I thought Chip would be the best fit for Kaep, but it seems he wants out so bad that he'd be willing to go to Cleveland.

You going to blame chip for kaepernick wanting to leave the 49ers too? Lol

Can't really blame him for that because I'm pretty sure Kaep wanted out before Chip was hired.

Would be great if Kaep does get traded and you guys end up trading us a ton to get to #1. We'd definitely miss out on both Tunsil and Ramsey, but if the price was right it would definitely be worth it.

Just a dream scenario. Not saying it's likely.

No need to move up. We gonna get who we want at our current draft pick.

Like I said every other RB thrived in Chips system, why couldn't Murray?
He's not versatile. He's one dimensional. He had a bomb OL in Dallas.
Again you pass your opinions off as if they are fact, and they are not. Just opinion. Like mine. I will always contend Chip made more good moves than bad.
Quite a few of those moves are still on the team and will receive another season to prove their worth.
You can hate Chip all you want, but when actual football people praise him, I tend to agree with them, than irate Titans fan message board guy.

The Rams are trying to put language in their contracts with players that the laws of Missouri and not California control their relationship.

From the contract: “The parties hereto acknowledge that this Player Contract has been negotiated and executed in Missouri; that should any dispute, claim or cause of action (collectively ‘dispute’) arise concerning rights or liabilities arising from the relationship between the Player and the Club, the parties hereto agree that the law governing such dispute shall be the law of the State of Missouri. Furthermore, the exclusive jurisdiction for resolving Workers’ Compensation related claims shall be the Division of Workers’ Compensation of Missouri, and the Missouri Workers’ Compensation Act shall govern.”

The NFLPA strongly disagrees. “We believe that any reference to the state of Missouri is inappropriate since the Rams have relocated to California as evidenced by the fact that they have changed their name on their website to the Los Angeles Rams, are prepared to hold off-season workouts and training camp in California, and will practice and play their home games in California in 2016,” the union says in the memo to all agents.

California has very employee-friendly workers comp laws that has led to many current and ex-players filing claims in the state even if they only played in the state a few times. I can't see the NFLPA losing this battle because the Rams have no basis to try and claim Missouri law should be used when they've relocated to California.

I guess Jonathan Stewart sucks then too because he's not a RB that would excel in Chip's system either... You obviously don't understand RBs styles. Even Arian Foster in his prime would not have fit Chip's system.

Which RB thrived in Chip's system? Shady? Sure, in 2013. Regressed in 2014 and for some reason, Chip traded away the RB that fit his system better than any RB in the league. Mathews was solid in a limited role. Sproles had 3.8 YPC last year. Saying that either of them thrived is not an accurate statement. Both of them are shiftier RBs than Murray though. It'd be like Chip drafting Derrick Henry and expecting him to be Shady. Two completely different RBs. Henry is a lot more like Murray's style of running. Eddie George and Jerome Bettis would've been a horrible fit in Chip's system. You're under the assumption that if you're a RB who can't play well in Chip's system that you suck. Nope... Nick Foles sure did play well in Chip's system. Must be a great QB! Oh wait, no... He sucks.

Look, I said Chip was an idiot as he started blowing up the team and making dumb moves a year ago. The "experts" had his back. Now even the "experts" admit he was a disaster. So I still have no idea what you're talking about.

My statements on TOP issue, scheme fit, and Chip not making adjustments are not opinions. They are well documented facts. Even your beloved "experts" agree.

We get you don't like Chip, as its your opinion. Just like I have my opinion.
Just like all the "experts" have their opinion.
With that said my opinion, like yours, will never change about Chip's time in Philly.
He made many more moves to the positive than he did to the negative. Lol, even the Murray move weakened a division opponent, a division opponent that could have easily won the division, barring injuries. Who knows, had Dallas still had Murray they might have won the division? But no Murray, thanks to Chip.
Also other Chip players are still in place and can further their value/devalue, will have to see.
Another opinion of mine, I contend Chip could come to Tennessee and instantly improve them. Oh, how I would revel in that Kharma!

So positive in fact were the moves he made he was fired the same year he made the moves yup the guy was a great success in Philly lol

He was fired, mainly from what I gather, for not being a "people person". Not for his lack of X's & O's knowledge.
It will be interesting to see what he does in SF. I'm still a Chip fan. I think he's ahead of his time. Just tried to do too much in a short period of time, unfortunately in the Not For Long.
Ya know another guy that was laughed out of the room because a few shortsighted people couldn't see value in his work?

[Show spoiler]Einstein, Albert.

[TitansFan4Life]

He's in denial. He can't admit he was wrong about Chip.

Last year, I said Chip was blowing up the team and would be fired. He just kept laughing at my claims. Then when my prediction comes to fruition, he's still in denial.

He's wrong. And everyone knows it.

Kroenke will get laughed out of the court room in a heartbeat.

Apparently it is due to 2 missed tests (presumably because he would have failed?), and he's checking into rehab. Agent claims he abuses to cope with depression and not a result of partying.

[Moviefan1203]

Dak Prescott was arrested for DUI last night. How do you allow yourself to be put in that position this close to the draft?

Not sure if that's spin, by the agent, or not. Either way I hope this guy gets the help he needs. All too often we see this with these talented players. Such a shame.

Edit: just saw MF's post above...unbelievable!

There's at least one dumb a*s prospect every year that does something like this. Shawn Ray was last year's although we can say it worked out pretty well for him dropping to DEN.

[TitansFan4Life]

Fisher and the Rams signed Coty Sensabaugh (the worst player on the Titans in 2015) to a 3 year/$15mil deal. I could've died when I read that. When you're the worst player on the Titans, you probably shouldn't even be playing in this league. Yet Fisher will pay you more than anyone. I mean, at best Sensabaugh would've been a vet minimum signing. Decent in the slot, but he's the worst CB in the league when playing on the outside.

I'll never understand how Fisher keeps a head coaching job.

6 playoff appearances in his 20 seasons. 0 playoff appearances in his last 6 seasons. 0 playoff wins in his last 11 seasons.

And yet the Rams want to extend him!

[RageATL]

Maybe he's got Polaroids of Kroenke in a compromising position?

Maybe he plans on playing him in the nickel? Rams have to do something after losing Jenkins.
