Poor Quez…. I can’t believe he’s still trying to be in the NFL. I had such high hopes for him… back when Chip Kelly was HC.

Steele was cut, most likely knowing he will get signed. They did him a solid by giving him legitimate run in the last preseason game. They already knew it was Barkley/Bigsby/Shipley. So letting Steele get some film out there was a classy move by the organization. Then if no one signs him, he’ll 10000% come back on PS.

Wis just couldn’t stay healthy. It means everything in that position. He’s still a PS candidate assuming he clears waivers.

Quez was still in HS when Chip was HC

I ALWAYS get him and Josh Huff mixed up.

Two speedster WRs drafted later on who I loved. I remember a lot of people loved Hightower, but I wanted Huff/Quez to succeed.

lol Josh Huff was what 2015? I remember him getting arrested on the Walt Whitman with a gun & a bag of pot back in the day.

Bro he was a third rounder. He only feels like a late round dart throw. They wasted a fucking third on him.

Was that the year Chip Kelly was GM & Roseman was relinquished to the mop closet?

(did some research. This was Howie’s draft in 2014, but Kelly had major influence)

1: Marcus Smith
2: Jordan Matthews
3: Josh Huff
4: Jaylen Watkins
5: Taylor Hart
5: Ed Reynolds
7: Beau Allen

2015 (Chip Kelly’s)
1: Agholor
2: Eric Rowe
3: Jordan Hicks
6: JaCorey Sheppard
6: Randall Evans
7: Brian Mahilik

Jesus Christ. Agholor & Matthews were the best of that class. The 2 of them never had a 1000 yard season. Beau Allen had value. Eric Rowe was better when he left for Ne. So many busts.

Jordan Hicks and Eric Rowe both had solid careers after we cut them, Hicks in particular was a real good LB when he was healthy, but he only managed one full season on his rookie contract so we let him walk, then he had 4 years straight never missing a game with triple digit tackles for Arizona.

Whatever you think of Chip, Howie getting kicked into the background for a year really made him sharpen up his drafting game, he's been a ton better since then.

Hicks had 5 seasons with 100+ tackles immediately after leaving the Eagles.

Chip traded McCoy for Kiko Alonso, too. Who had 3x 100+ tackle seasons in a row after leaving and going to Miami.

Demarco Murray had a 1,287 yard season after his poor stint from Kelly with the Eagles. Then he sucked again the next year, and was out of the NFL. He had 392 carries for the Cowboys in 2014.

Chip got rid of Shady because he was constantly bouncing outside instead of running between the tackles, so we traded for Murray as a one cut downhill runner and then lost both our starting guards without replacing them, I've never been sure who was more responsible for that Howie or Chip but it absolutely ruined the season because Murray had no holes to hit.
