WILL Sam Bradford's encouraging play down the stretch buy Chip Kelly another year to fix this mess?
The quarterback is a significant building block, but I don't see a bunch of other reasons for Jeffrey Lurie not to pull the plug. You've read here before that the Eagles' chairman is in so deep with Kelly, has allowed him to alter so much of the organization's DNA, from the scouting staff to the cafeteria, that starting over a year after giving Kelly full control of personnel would be painful.
You've also read here before that Lurie is a man who likes to make a plan and stick to it - Kelly was hired as the result of a painstaking process that began long before Lurie officially deep-sixed Andy Reid.
