Yesterday, the Philadelphia Eagles made a questionable move with trading away Nick Foles for injury-plagued former no. 1 pick Sam Bradford from the St. Louis Rams. Since joining the Eagles last year, Kelly has been eager to properly implement his high-octane offense from success with his Oregon Ducks in previous years.

While his collegiate style was successful to get them a more than respectable 10-6 record for his inaugural year, the team felt a change at the quarterback position was needed. In an impromptu interview earlier today, Chip addressed rumors of the team’s pursuit of top draft prospect Marcus Mariota; which has been the constant discussion of fans questioning his moves this off-season.

During the address, Kelly stated “Marcus is best quarterback in the draft.
