Ramsey isn’t even with the team that drafted him. They didn’t even want to keep him. sure he’s a very good player but..even the jags were done with him.

He demanded a trade in his contract year. Jags did the right thing and got what they could for him. Why keep him when they know he won’t sign an extension?

Reagor is like Tyree Hill. He’s a burner with video game like agility but he needs a QB to get him the ball. If Jefferson had Wentz he’d look awful.
40 times:
Tyreek Hill: 4.29 seconds
Jalen Reagor: 4.47 seconds

Jalen Reagor is no Tyreek Hill.

Yea at that speed each tenth of a second is like 2-3 yards.. Meaning Hill would beat Reagor by 4-5 yards in a 40 yard dash. Which is just stupid when you think about it.

Seems like I am in the minority but I think it is a bit early to be writing Wentz off.

The Eagles offensive line can't pass protect, their $15 million WR, Jeffery's best days are way behind him and their other WRs are trash or inexperienced, Plus Ertz is out.

Their head coach refuses to run the ball even though they are averaging 5.0 ypc on the season.

I would dump Pedersen before Wentz but that is me.

And “got what they could” isn’t really accurate. They got 2 firsts for him. After getting 4 yrs of stellar play

Ertz is back. Goedert is a weapon. Hurts hit Raegor immediately and Fulgham has been a diamond in the rough.
Wentz sucks

Still accurate. They “got what that could” relative to signing him to an extension. Yes, they got a good haul as well.

I don’t know what you’re saying. That’s not how “got what they could” works.

Probably because I was never one that thought Wentz was that good. He only played well with the perfect team around him. That's probably why Nick Foles came in and they didn't skip a beat.

I think back somewhere around 2012, I forget the exact years, RG3 looked better than Wentz for a couple of years. And he wasn't on a super bowl caliber team.
Wentz was having a very successful early career, but most of his passes were VERY close to or behind the line of scrimmage.

This is what happens when your roster is far too top heavy. It keeps you from fielding a complete team.

I was talking to a buddy tonight about how crazy it is how much Wentz has regressed. Whether it is because of underlying issues with being hurt/injured or he has just lost his mojo, it will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on in Philly.

Eagles have similar problems to the Boys. Expectations way too high, injuries galore. Pederson should be fired for Carson's regression and how he's handled this season.

Eagles do have playmakers at TE and that rookie is ok. I am going to believe the media in that Wentz isn’t a likeable guy in the locker room and it seems to have started once he signed that deal.

In another team and system, I think Wentz could be a good NFL starter and he better hope that Pederson is gone after this yr because Hurts will become the starter.

Just a reminder when you see all the negative Dak threads from these posters who are so sure he's average...

Most of them were all in on Wentz. Just goes to show how much they know.

Hurts definitely provided a spark. I say he starts next week. We'll see how well he plays when a defense is focused on him from Monday.
Did he, though?

He went 5/12 and had a pick. There was one drive when he came in, when the game looked to be pretty much over, that he did anything. After that one drive, he didn't complete another pass and had the INT.
