The Eagles should not have drafted Hurts.

[Sweet Vermouth]

The Patriots should never have drafted Brady. It made Bledsoe feel like a broken leg.

The way the NFL is shaping up its more or less draft a running qb every three, four years and don't pay that $30m a year for four, five year second contract.

Yup. That's definitely a plan.

[3rd & Inches]

Its not coddling. It's trying to maximize your investment. Wentz is going to be a millionaire whatever happens. Throwing away a hundred million dollars makes the Eagles worse. Bad resource management.

There is no problem here if they hadn't already paid Wentz.

At this very moment, which QB is best suited to keep the chains moving with this injured Oline and practice squad receivers? I hope the owner cares about winning each game on the schedule and not the feelings of the highest paid players. If Lurie prefers to appease high salary players over starting the best available...then fuck him and his windmills.

[Snakebitten]

This is silly. You said 'Wentz had made clear he would rather be traded than be a backup'. I'm asking you where he said that and you're giving me some third party who backpedaled after his speculation got misconstrued. I stopped listening when he said neither Wentz or his agent told him anything. Your narrative to now make it sound like he's some malcontent is laughable.

We get it, you dislike Wentz.

Schefter was clear he stood by his reporting. He did not report Wentz was a malcontent. He said Wentz would rather be traded than be a backup. Big difference. Figures you quit listening. Stick your head in the sand. I'm the one saying drafting Hurts was a mistake.

Obviously Hurts is playing better. And if Lurie was all about appeasing high salary players, Wentz wouldn't have been benched.

The point is they committed to Wentz and now don't have the stones to live with that commitment for more than 12 games. Fire Howie.

Nah. He stated the report was based off of 'common sense'. That means he's just another guy posting nonsense that certain people will spin. No big deal. I know what happened here. I'd be a fool to try and sway those that actually listen to this garbage.

[slag]

You're both right ... the narrative that Wentz is a malcontent based on Schefter's reporting is bullshit by Schefter's own admission ... but the concept that Wentz will get fed up with being a backup is a logical and, frankly laudable, reaction for Wentz.

As for the idea that Howlo fucked up when, after getting rid of Foles and paying Wentz, he then created a potential QB controversy instead of building a team around Wentz and getting a vet backup ... my level agreement is off the charts and I stated it when they drafted Hurts.

[desertcogo]

To me it's obvious that Wentz feels he's entitled to be the starting qb because the team paid him a shit-load of money but he really has sucked this year and deserves to be benched. He hasn't put in the work necessary to improve his deficiencies but he's being paid $128 million to do just that. Is that not enough incentive for him? Howie is the biggest problem though and I don't see anything improving in the future as long as he's GM and the guy deciding who gets drafted. He's made some horrid decisions that I consider to be inexcusable when you think of the players who were still on the board when the team's turn came to choose their pick. I have to include Lurie as someone who has to step up and make the decision to get rid of or demote Howie but as long as Lurie considers Howie untouchable, the team is screwed.
