Wentz is a tough kid but that reckless type of play doesn’t cut it for long.
Daunte Culpepper was a total stud until he lost the running ability and had to be just a drop back passer.

Dunno Russel wilson runs around alot and it works for him...

You may be right... but IMHO Wilson is a lot more shifty .... doesn't take as many clean hits as big strong Wentz does....just a guess.....

Go Rams....... ;)

I thought Seachicken fans were annoying and obnoxious. Philly fans take the cake. New most hated team in the league for me. Wentz is a great guy and I'm sorry he's hurt. Philly fan, you get what you give.

Wentz is a good QB. He needs to becomes a pocket passer or his career may be short lived.

There in lies the problem. Make him a pocket passer and he's not as good. His game is buying time.

On the idea that wasn't an ACL because he played another play and walked off the field, I bet he's not walking so well today.

It is possible to compete with a torn ACL.
My daughter is a basketball player. When she was 16 she hurt her knee at a game.
A doctor found that it was just a sore knee.
She kept playing for a year and a half with a brace, her knee hurting at times until she had an MRI that showed her ACL completely missing.
I was proud of my daughter's toughness, but far from my best as a father.

Sucks for Wentz, that'll cost him the playoff experience, awards, probably the Eagles chance for a trophy. Really feel for him, hope he can come back with a full recovery soon.
I don't feel a bit sorry for the eagles, eagles fans, cheese steaks, the liberty bell, actual eagles, the Vikings-turned-eagles-fans in North Dakota, the God awful state of North Dakota, or that ginger bitch himself.

Fuck the eagles.

How many games has he missed with injury? Wentz now has missed multiple games in 3 of his previous 4 seasons (college and pro) and had gotten hurt last year in the pre-season opener and didnt play again that PS
Wilson knows how to take a hit, and more appropriately how to avoid it. Wentz thinks he can run over folks.
So did Daunte Culpepper

Wentz played AN INCREDIBLE game....blew away Goff.
GOff played well, but he doesn't have those legs....but, then either does Wentz because he ain't playing anymore this year....Legs made him, now they keep him out of the playoffs.

I don't understand why Goff looks so fucking slow when he is running. Wentz ran a 4.77 40 and Goff ran a 4.82, but you could tell they aren't even in the same league when it comes to athleticism.

@Mackeyser You were right, Wentz does have a much stronger arm.

I've now seen two Wentz games.

He does have accuracy issues, IMO.

oh yeah?

I thought a bunch of passes completed on 3rd down were quick and from the pocket.

What did you see that proved that...in your opinion?

I was wondering because I saw a throw....to a wide open receiver....that hit a DL in the hands...that he dropped...just terribly under thrown. Didn't wanna blame the QB...cause, stuff happens. But I don't think it was accuracy issues.

Now....playing under pressure....IDK.
