As I posted in the Hoyer thread...
Chip Kelly's offense was also much more simplistic and easy to learn as opposed to Shanahan's. The offense will get better as the weeks progress and all the players begin to grasp it a little better. We also won't be playing perennial top five defense's every week either.
Chip Kelly's offense was more about shock than anything. Its similar to college when you only get a week to prepare for a triple option offense. When you only get a short period of time to get accustomed to the speed and style of Kelly's offense, it can stymie you at first. Once NFL teams started to settle in the shock factor started to wear off.
Chip Kelly's offense continued to get worse the longer it stayed in the NFL. Kyle's offense has already proven to be self sustaining and a championship caliber offense. There is no question here in the long term which scheme between the two creates a more winnable platform or gives the whole team better stability.
