Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 56 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Actually this one gets interesting. Could mean Wentz stays. Also this could be our new offensive coordinator. This is Wentz contract (click to embiggen) Parting from Wentz next season would cost the Eagles $60M in cap. His $15M salary becomes fully guaranteed March 15th. Who is going to trade for a benched QB who is due $15M in salary, $22-20M in subsequent years? Fundamentally, the Eagles "best way out" is to try to hire a QB whisperer who can salvage something out of Wentz. It's clear there was no going back for Pederson and Wentz. I do not want Pederson as our new OC. Brett Kollman does an interesting job of breaking down how yes, a lot of it is Carson Wentz, but play calling and design has something to do with how badly it all went in Philly, not to mention lack of coaching/accountability for Wentz.

Brett Kollmann: "Just make sure you do it with a drink in hand" Brett Kollman: "I'll be honest, I've watched every single Eagles game this season over the last week and a half..."

Yep, probably one of the main reasons Pederson was fired, although I don't think Wentz is salvageable. Edited January 11, 2021 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mailed it in, which a lot of teams do. it was hilarious seeing the 6-10 Giants whine about missing the playoffs because Philly didn’t play hard enough. You were six and friggin ten!!! “Highly unprofessional” is not a trait most seek when hiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turftoe Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Losing Frank Reich was a big blow to the Eagles. In my opinion, there would be no Lombardy in Philly if Reich didn't spend so much time getting Nick Foles ready for the SB. Reich the key 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps his head stuck in his play sheet all game, and has no idea what's really going on in the game. Should have been fined and suspended by the league after the nonsense he pulled at the end of the Eagles-Redskins game. I can not imagine any team will want any part of him. Good for the Eagles getting rid of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and gave my viewpoint: Lurie and Roseman were geniuses 3 seasons ago. Well, Pederson was too, to be fair. But I have no clue what went on behind the scenes. I can speak to what I see, or what rings true to me as assessments of play calling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising with the way the end of the season went down and the QB garbage in the last game. I thought this was where the Jets wanted to go if they got rid of Gase. I even thought that they may hold onto Gase one more season to line it up with Pederson, but this is 1A in my mind for the Jets. Look for Bienemy (Reid disciple) to get the Philly Job. They loved and miss Andy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: My hot take on that week 17 fiasco: Pederson obviously is secure in his job or he wouldn’t be doing this New hot take: Pederson obviously wanted out and was asking to be fired I will have a lot more respect for Pederson’s intellectual acuity if this is found to be the case. The Iggles are going to be a tire fire for at least a couple seasons. He had two seasons left on his contract and he’ll probably get paid to sit on a beach for those two seasons rather than go through the horror of coaching a team that’s trying to avoid 0-16.
