Dak has been hurt in other years. Philly actually won a superbowl without Wentz. That team isn't devoid of talent.

You actually think Wentz is better? He's getting cut or traded for a can of pringles soon. He's trash.

Maybe for a play or two? He has literally started every game for them until this year. Wentz is looking real bad but no quarterback can have success when under that much pressure. Eagles are on pace to allow 66 sacks this year, that’s the most since the 1-15 2016 Browns. I never said he’s better or worse just that I’m not ready to give up on him even though the season is over. He was an MVP candidate in 2017, Dak has never been anything more than a game manager in his career.

The Eagles are pretty bad. Yea they got a few good players, every team in the NFL does. But they’ve been decimated by injuries.

Wentz is having a bad year no doubt. But yeah he plays for a godawful team. He's playing hero ball now, and there probably isn't any QBs that can really do that with his situation. Idk how the Eagles let it get so bad.

At the end of the day, we've all seen he can be an exceptional QB. He doesn't seem to fall in the Kaepernick sorta gimmicky category or a one hit wonder like Derek Anderson with the Browns. Hes got the tools to do well consistently.

I'm pretty sure the whole situation there is rotten and he's gotten in his own head. Philly is literally the worst place to be considering how that city treats the team when things aren't going great.

I hope he gets it sorted out. Would like to see him do well. Good ambassador for the alma mater and the state. I think the most controversial thing he's ever done is went deer hunting.

Edit: like clockwork, espn + has a pretty good article on what coaches and executives are seeing with the beast commonly known as C Dubs

Not a bad first game against a really tough defense.

Just curious, what is your affinity with Hurts? Players without any ties to ND don’t normally get their threads bumped for NFL performances, and you were the one who initially bumped this thread after 5 years a few weeks ago.

Just drawn to the situation really. Was originally watching for Fantasy Football reasons (other Eagles players). The comment was originally during the Eagles games. Thought I would follow it up now that he did start.

Well while Hurts wasn't Mahomes, he looked solid and just kept the chains moving.

And that is enough to lower Wentz's stock even more given all the excuses that have been flying around for him. I don't think Hurts got sacked once either.
