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

Yeah, everyone said how smart the Eagles were, bringing him in and letting him learn by watching. So much for that. From what I saw in preseason, he still has a long way to go.

I'll be curious to see if Wentzs broken ribs and broken arm are a sign that he can't hold up physically.
I believe he may have been injured in 2 out of the last 3 games he has played.

Seems like a big athletic kid. Not sure he is ready to read defenses at this level yet. It's a big jump from Division 1AA to the NFL with only 1 quarter of actual action and almost no practices.

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

While there is no question Dak played well and his teammates seem to have confidence in him, the job did kind of just fall to him with the 2 guys ahead of him getting hurt.

I agree, but if he hadn't earned the spot, you know as well as I that they would have someone else in here starting.

No...Kids to strong mentally for that. Got fore in his belly...unlike goff
Uh huh.

Well...he is not ready and he has nothing around him to take pressure off.

I saw a guy in college lock onto his primary wr...and people said it is BC he reads to defense so fast...lol.

I watch him lock onto his primary in the preseason for every pass that he threw....

He is not a good qb...no feel for the pocket or going through progressions.

And so it begins.
Begins?

No. The preparations have been in place for a while in Lansdale, PA.

He will stay hurt his entire career. He's just not durable. Several injuries already

Oh and the Eagles will suck for years because of trading up for Wentz

All I know the Egirls turned Bradford into a 1 and a 4. Never thought I'd live to see an actual miracle.
