With Chip Kelly As Coach What Are Your Expectations For Freeman?

[TheGlennonCannon]

I am excited to see what this guy can do with Freeman. Definitely will play to Freeman's strengths. Hopefully he can bring Freeman back to life.

I think this hire was always going to be about Freeman.  He always did well with more receivers and the no huddle.  This may be perfect for him but we will have to upgrade the line or teach Blount to block or both.  Kelly doesn't have the backs block much but I think he's going to have to in the NFL.

While I'm 99% sure they wouldn't have hired Kelly without assurances that Freeman would still be the man, one could make the argument that JJ and, dare I say it, RG3 would have fit his Oregon offense better.

Freeman would need to lose some fat, which he should be doing regardless of the offense. He should look more like Cam Newton than Jamarcus Russell at the beginning of the season.

a trade?

I have no idea. Chip Kelly is going to bring an offense that fits his players. I said this in another thread, he is not married to a scheme. He wants the ball in the hands of his playmakers. I do expect a lot more no-huddle which a lot of us agree Freeman was at his best in.

I have been critical of Freeman, but am curious to see what he can do with him

[Freeman 5]

I see more freedom and actual open play calling that suits his strengths.

Given the fact that Kelly doesn't have an offense who knows - I mean that crap he runs now isn't an offense so if he tries to jam that in Freeman and any other QB will go down in flames.

So you change your mind again with you nick huh?

No offense but you're a tool.

I used words like maybe and hopefully, so that means I change my mind? Get out of here with that non-sense... I am excited to see what he can do with Freeman that doesn't mean anything. It certainly doesn't mean I think Freeman will be good again... Maybe you should pay more attention to what is said. It's all about the wording and obviously you don't know what the difference is...

Of course that is your response because you know what I said was right... I NEVER said he was going to be good again and you claimed I did which obviously I didn't...

[BucD]

Omg

Calm the hell down people.  Freeman will still be the QB.  If you think they're trading Freeman in favor of JJ or drafting ANOTHER QB you're crazy.

I see this most likely as the nail in Freeman's coffin. Kelly can not run his gadget filled option spread offense in the NFL. He will be running something else, and if you look at the history of college head coaches that make the jump to NFL head coaches, the results are dreadful. Odds are this will be a disaster and Freeman will pay the price with his professional career.
