IT IS STILL to be determined whether Chip Kelly is a genius, but at least after this weekend's NFL draft we can say that he is not a mad scientist.

For a mad scientist, the vision is all that matters. The consequences of what it might cost in the attempt to achieve it become irrelevant.

Mad scientists are reckless.

There is little that is comforting about their experimentation. Success is due to random luck, not well-conceived design. Failure is just as likely.
