Why? You think a 2nd round QB who was subpar in four career games is going to feel entitled to start? This isn't Wentz anymore, QBs shouldn't have to be coddled. Teams shouldn't have to think about everything they say to protect one guys ego. Hurts is a big boy and a good teammate. He can handle being a backup.

EaglesFlySBChampsHigh Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, MKnight82 said: So let's recap: The Eagles trade #8 overall, #77 overall (3rd), #100 overall (4th), a 2017 First and 2018 Second to select Carson Wentz. He then plays at a near MVP level, gets them to the playoffs, ultimately gets hurt but his team wins a Super Bowl. He gets hurt in 2017 but in 2018 throws for over 4,000 yards and has 27 TDs to only 7 INTs. He then has 1 bad season, in a year with no preseason games and the lingering pandemic making the whole word weird and he gets run out of town and dumped for a 3rd and the possibility of a future first. On top of this Philly spends a 2nd round pick on a QB who lost his starting job in college. Now you're talking about spending yet another high pick on a QB. Seriously how stupid is this organization? They did a bunch of trades and swaps after that first Wentz trade that lessened the actual load that we spent. So in the end it didn't look like we gave up a bunch. In our defense he's had more than one bad season. His record against +500 teams is BRUTAL. He's really good at beating bad teams Edited February 18, 2021 by EaglesFlySBChampsHigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd support whoever the starting QB is. He also left to go play somewhere else after losing his job. Yes as a grad transfer but still he did it showcase his ability to play QB. Now that he's in position to be a starter again, why would he want to be on a roster where its happening again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I want us to trade up for Zach Wilson. #6, our 2nd, Fletcher Cox, Derek Barnett, Ertz. We get a bunch of cap relief and a QB prospect being compared to Aaron Rodgers (even though I think he's more of a Tennessee Tannehill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So most of us want a WR so that means that's not gonna happen. Basically it's OL or DL. Most likely outcome %s QB - 35% WR - 10% OL/DL - 50% Other - 5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also reading an article on how much cap we can potentially free up if we cut members from the Jazz Hand All-stars (WR core). I'm guessing we might be looking at WR a bit more than 10%.
