It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Carson Wentz may be headed for a breakup. According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Wentz is planning to ask the Eagles for a trade this offseason “because his relationship with head coach Doug Pederson is fractured beyond repair.” In a segment on ESPN, Mortensen said that Wentz will also help the Eagles facilitate a trade. “Carson Wentz, his relationship with the #Eagles is all but fractured. In fact, it is fractured.” Mort expects… Source link

It’s not really what Jalen Hurts did in his first start for the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s what he didn’t do. Hurts didn’t throw egregious interceptions. He didn’t take any sacks. He lost a fumble late, but he’s bound to make some rookie mistakes. Carson Wentz led the NFL in all three categories for much of the season. No wonder the Eagles looked better with Hurts at quarterback. Hurts did some good things too, passing it and running it. The Eagles played their best game of the… Source link

If you had any bet on the Seattle Seahawks at -6.5, even if it was just $20, you were tilting your face off at the end of Monday night’s game. Imagine having $500,000 on the Seahawks at -6.5. There was a really, really tough bad beat on Monday night when the Eagles caught a Hail Mary and then went for 2 when most would have just kicked the extra point. When the Eagles got into the end zone for 2, it was a ridiculous beat for Seahawks backers, and there were many of them. It had to be a happy… Source link

It’s understandable why we want to make excuses for Carson Wentz. Wentz was a dynamic player for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 before a season-ending knee injury. He was a leading candidate for MVP. Patrick Mahomes was still at Texas Tech, and Wentz was considered the future of the NFL. It’s hard to believe that player we saw early in his career has fallen off. We’d rather blame his lack of a supporting cast. Wentz’s play has fallen off. We’ve heard all about how his offensive line… Source link
