Smart move.

 

[Carson]

He should start the season 3-1.

Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Detroit.

 

[Joe Realist]

It will still come down to final week of season.

 

[RS12]

They need to find out if he is the guy. That Bradford theft they just pulled off took a lot of the risk of the whole deal off the Egirls.

 

[Garrettop]

Throwing Wentz to the wolves in Philly increases his risk of bust. I approve this move.

 

[Kaiser]

Throwing Wentz to the wolves in Philly increases his risk of bust. I approve this move.

I don't wish ill on another team's players, but this has the potential to get Wentz crushed.

 

[Risen Star]

And so it begins.

I liked Wentz until he became an Eagle. Now I have to hope he sucks.

I get it but watch what you ask for. He's going to be tough to reckon with after he gets a little experience. I think he's going to eventually be the real deal. Hope I'm wrong.

I don't wish injury on the guy, but I don't mind at all if he gets sacked 60 times.

So, of the bunch of QBs drafted, Wentz and Dak are starting. Goff just learned that the sun rises in the east and will not even be active. Lynch is backing up some guy who took one kneel down snap for his career and truly no one has even heard of. Hackenberg won't dress. Probably the same for Cook.

I think part of the SAm Bradford trade involved Romo getting hurt and Dak starting. Philly may think they can win enough in the NFC East going against the Cowboys without Romo, the offensively challenged NYG if their pitiful preseason offense is any indication, and the maybe Cousins falls apart this year after getting somewhat paid. Plus, the Philly fans would be rabid watching Dak play while Wentz sits the bench.

I so hope Dak does well and Wentz stinks. It would be priceless listening to Philly fans complain because 1) Dak is lighting it up, 2) Wentz is way out of his league, and 3) Bradford is balling in Minny.

Just can't believe he is the week 1 starter after a quarter of football and he got his ribs broke. Crazy stuff.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

I liked Wentz of all the QB in the draft and I was hoping we could draft him. With that said, I never viewed him as a day 1 starter. I thought he needed a few years to get up this level. The fact that he is being forced to start this soon, could lead to another David Carr situation that just destroyed his career. We will see. Of course he would be in the same situation here, but with a better OL and running game, but the Eagles do have a good D so I wouldn't count them down just yet.

 

[reddyuta]

He should start the season 3-1.

Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Detroit.

maybe 1-3 .

 

[DandyDon1722]

He should start the season 3-1.

Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Detroit.

Not too sure we should assume a rookie on an average team will automatically chalk up wins against other NFL teams.

 

[MonsterD]

And so it begins.

 

[DTown214]

He should start the season 3-1.

Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Detroit.

 

[AsthmaField]

It is the difference between being handed the job (Wentz) and earning it with on field play while winning over your team mates (Dak).

 

[SultanOfSix]

I don't care. Eagles suck.
