Pretty sure starting Wentz was a front office call

[Maniac]

All things considered including a timeline that had Pederson out of the building due to father's death when the "Wentz starts" rumors began flying.

Eckel thinks so.

So one of two things happened.

Because there is nothing Wentz could have done, without taking a snap for a month, that propelled him past Daniel and all of a sudden made him ready to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

One is this decision was not the head coach's and it sure didn't seem like it as he addressed the media after Monday's light practice. This came from either personnel boss Howie Roseman, who is running the entire show, or even higher up in owner Jeffrey Lurie.

And that decision could have come from the fact they watched Daniel play in the preseason and wondered themselves why they're paying this guy $7 million a year.

I dont think he was hurt that badly and was physically ready. This was a decision brought on by a torn up knee.

He's turned into Freddy Edelstein

Eckel is still waiting at the airport for LeCharles Bentley.

Agreed... and although it was a small sample size, Wentz showed he belonged in the preseason game.... and he showed that he deserved better talent around him.

He got his ribs fractured. Not good. We're not looking for Superman.

I think they're putting unnecessary pressure on him.

we dont know how severe or slight the "fracture" was. If he cant hurt himself further by playing, why not? OK...the O-line...that I will buy

[Maniac]

Like he handled the preseason game.

[Ellsworth]

He's still touchy about that.

He's the worst guy covering the Eagles out there. zero original ideas or insight. Can't believe he still covers the NFL for NJ.com.

Not once have I read one of his articles and walked away thinking "gee, I never thought of that before!"
