Carson Wentz on the move?

Recommended Posts

Once they won the SB without him, it was never going to work out. I can’t tell with Wentz. He’s the guy who goes from underrated to overrated 50 times a season. I think he is talented but he gets hyped up so much. 
 

but it is wild that you go from being a MVP candidate and winning a SB in 3 years to getting rid of your qb and coach. Not For Long.

 

also should be a reminder to the Bills that your SB window can close very fast.

Haha.  Are the Eagles hoping that Foles can be a decent bridge with their aging and depleted roster?

 

I would imagine he'd serve as the backup to Jalen Hurts (assuming they don't draft a QB in the first round).

Hmm.    Foles probably still throws a lot better than Hurts can at the NFL level.   So unless they are looking to implement a Greg Roman type offense not quite sure that Hurts should be considered the starter.

Foles sucks and there’s no way in hell they can sell starting him over Hurts to the fan base there.

What is it about Philly that makes it impossible to truly get a feel for how good their QB is?? I remember always having the same issue with McNab.

It is inconceivable to me that any team would give up more than a fifth round pick for Wentz.  He was literally the worst QB in the league last year.  Let’s hope he’s traded to the AFCE...

 

When I read that they want a first round pick or maybe two for him, I laughed!! He was absolutely terrible this past year!! Why do coaches and GMs always think that they can make him great? I would draft a QB with my own first round pick rather than trading mine for him.

Hurts was better last year and is potentially the future of the team. 


Foles :  64.7 % completion , 10 touchdowns 8 ints, 1852 yards. 80.8 passer rating

Hurts:   52.0 % completion ,  6 touchdowns 4 ints, 1061 yards,  77.6 pssser rating 

 

Nothing better in those passing stats.  Did you mean that Hurts is a bigger threat with his,legs ?

Hurts’ running ability is obviously a big factor in it, especially with the Eagles OLine where a guy like Foles will be a sitting duck. But it’s also drastically different offensive schemes and supporting casts. The Bears were super conservative giving Foles and Trubisky as easy of throws as possible, whereas Hurts was asked to throw it down the field a lot and to throw it to guys that can’t create separation or catch the ball.

Eagles fans commenting on this were less than enthused to contribute 

I mean all the people questioning what he's done for them....it's like the SB winning season didn't happen. Sure Foals brought them home but Wentz got them to the show.

The last time Ryan Pace used his 1st round pick on a QB he took Mitch Trubisky and left Mahomes and Watson on the board. How Ryan Pace is still a GM is a mystery. If he spends a first on Carson Wentz after that he wants firing on the spot.

Foles started the last 6 games, including all 3 playoff games, going 5-1. His one loss was the last game of the year when they only played him and the other starters a few drives. The 5-1 record under Foles compared to the 11-2 record Wentz put up doesn't look any different except for the number of games played. And 3 of Foles wins were in the playoffs, two of which Foles and the Eagles put up big numbets.

 

Wentz is 3 games above .500 overall with only 35 wins through his 5 year career. The Eagles have made the playoffs 3 different years while Wentz has been there. He's started only 1 game, attempted a mere 4 passes, completing only 1 before yet again leaving the game injured. With what he's getting paid he's got to stay on the field & win, especially during the postseason.

Two 2nd rd picks is generous to take his salary

He can always restructure. 

 

Eagles are in a tough spot. Colts didn't offer much more for Stafford either. So Colts seem to be sticking with not giving up a 1st. The question is will there be any other team in on Wentz.

i agree. The Eagles should be giving the Colts two 2nd round picks.
 

I don’t quite understand what the Colts are thinking. That said, wentz will do fine behind that line and with that running game.

I dont like this.

 

If anyone can fix Wentz it’s Frank Reich. 
I see us playing the colts in the playoffs over the next few years. 

 

Reich has got a lot to fix.  But what he cant fix is Wentz being injury-prone.

What show?  He got them to 11 wins??.  Nick Foles won every meaningful game for the Eagles in that stretch.  They made a mistake trading Foles.  They could have paid Foles half they paid Wentz and gotten way more for him back then.
