The fumbles are an issue, but not enough to pull him out of the top tier imho, some of the plays he makes happen outweighs the fumbles (he still needs to work on them though)

The fumbles are drive killers, even the recovered ones. One driver killer a game is excessive.  I think it drops him some notches in rating QBs.  Jameis Winston threw for three more TDs than Wentz with a thousand more yards last year but gets killed as a QB, signed as a cheap back up, because of his thirty interceptions.  My point with Wentz is the fumbles doubled his turnovers.  It is curable but Wentz actually has become worse at it.  It has to stop.  I think his other fault contributes to the fumbles some, and that is his slower delivery. They cured Foles so I think they can speed up Carson.  Having WRs that can get open sooner and quicker is going to help a lot.

What is the scientific community calling this virus? That’s the name students are going to have to remember. Right now, we all know who is using the term "China virus” and the intent behind it. Please don’t pretend otherwise.

Whatever you want to do i really don’t care. Again i said i refer to it as Covid 19. However I know why the medical community does what it does with naming. So i don’t see it as racist like you.

You recall him being a good starter because he got help. I didn't realize it myself until someone posted something about on the old blog @ManuManu maybe? It was a breakdown of some of his snaps during the Super Bowl run

Yup. He got so much help and still was bad at pass protecting. Harrison bull rushed him into oblivion in the fourth quarter. Griffin consistently beat him. McKinley beat him for a sack I believe. 

We won in spite of poor ply from him. Credit to Doug and Reich for overcoming him.

European soccer has been successful traveling for almost two months. I know you think soccer is ghey but it’s working. 

The difference is most of Europe did what they were supposed to when the whole thing started and have smaller populations. We can't even get some people to put masks on.

Again there’s doctors referring to it that i work with as Covid and Wuhan flu  Because there’s multiple Covid aka coronaviruses going around right now. So there’s multiple names. Just like some other viruses that have multiple. But please inform me of the doctors and nurses you are working with? Cause i have 4 in my family, i work in the medical field and have heard both used daily. 

Freedom of speech and freedom to get offended by whatever you want. I don’t give a crap. 
 

That being said.... just shut down sports until 2021. This virus that originated in CHINA isn’t going anywhere. Wait until there’s a vaccine (I’m predicting in October before the election) so ppl at least think they’re safe. 
 

Also damn... the Phils bullpen is so bad they can’t even survive vs a team infected by Covid...

I’ve heard rarely china flu be used. However I’ve heard it used. More accurately and common is Wuhan flu or virus. I have heard it but not as much as Wuhan or Covid-19.

The problem I’ve discussed on here with calling it coronavirus (Covid) is there’s a family coronaviruses. Hence some of the testing people might have those other coronaviruses But showed positive. Even the CDC has put that on their website that tests might be saying positive but really for another coronavirus Associated with the common cold. It’s why some doctors and nurses refer to it as Wuhan flu so you differentiate it from other coronaviruses besides numbers people don’t understand 

again I wouldn’t use China flu/virus. I’d use either Wuhan flu/virus or Covid 19.

My biggest concern with Wentz is he needs to do a better job at taking what the defense gives him.  Get into a rythym.  When he holds onto the ball, escapes the pocket and starts to spazz that's where the fumbles and injuries happen.  Is he soft/fragile/injury prone?  Not in the sense that most people would think.  He's def not fragile or soft.  He is injury prone because he's prone to put himself in harms way.  And that's his biggest issue.  

I hope the last 4 games of the regular season were a preview of what we will continue to see in the future.  He was pretty good against Miami too if you wanna stretch it to 5.  He had a slow start against the Giants, and then it looked like everything clicked for him with completely lackluster players.

Thank you. Sorry, I don’t want to come off as aggressive. I appreciate having a normal conversation with a disagreement and hearing each other out. I understand your point about place of origin to reference the virus and I can see how the "Wuhan virus” may be useful 50-100 years from now. I just don’t believe that’s the case with "China virus”.

Again So not bringing up those names he stays ignorant about all the names he should also be also saying we shouldn’t be using. All those names they were all given their names by where they originated so they are either all racist or not. 

The "Kung flu” one is 100 percent racist. However he got upset about the China flu. Meanwhile the reason medicine tends to use origins in the name is because it’s easier for students to remember the origins when learning about it and also helps with identifying one virus in a family of viruses. That’s a major reason why. Frankly i don’t think it is racist if they refer to it as Wuhan Covid. That way you know which coronavirus you are talking about and where it originated. If it originated in Philadelphia I’d have no qualms about it being called philly Covid. It would give you two facts about where it originated and what coronavirus you are talking about. 

also sidebar there’s a ton of people out there that believe Covid 19 stands for 19th corona virus. The 19 stands for 2019 as the year it was discovered. 

You are correct that many diseases are titled by their places of origin but the terms used aren’t  used that way.  Unfortunately, the way those terms have been used aren’t focused on epidemiological tracing of origins. Now, I suspect the intent is to demonize a country, not a race, that we have a tense relationship with, but unfortunately, it has driven actions against people of Asian descent in the US.  So it starts to trend in a direction better not taken.

We do have an illness that was identified in Philadelphia, Legionnaires’ disease.  Because a cooling tower at a location of. Legion convention was the source and the victims were Legionnaires.   The same bacteria causes a less fatal illness, Pontiac Fever, which first arose from communal spray sinks at an auto manufacturing plant in Pontiac, Michigan.  That fits your point of origin point on diseases as well.

Why shouldn't we call it for where it originated?

Are we also gonna rename the Spanish flu or Swine flu because it's offensive to pigs?

You originated in your moms womb, im sure there are a few names one could use for that.

If one wants to go further back you ultimately originated in your fathers ball sack so...

i get you. I’m betting there are some that are for the reason you said. Working in The medical field I’ve heard multiple names.
 

Problem my dad and the lab he works with has currently is people somehow believe there’s only one coronavirus in general or happening right now. A common cold is often associated with another family of coronavirus (i want to say 229E).  

 

I go away for a few days and the politics return.

My two cents...

It's not the accuracy of the name that I'd argue, but why it's being used.

I do believe some are using it to demonize. There’s always going to be people like that. It’s the sad part of society nowadays.

Frankly i wouldn’t use China virus. It is way too broad of a name to get the point of origin. I would use Covid 19 (and do) but i could see the value in calling it Wuhan virus that doctors/nurse use to get point of origin/differentiate from another coronavirus which surprisingly a lot of patients call it not knowing there are other coronaviruses. Honestly not so much for today’s society cause we all should know Covid 19 and it’s origins but i think for students 50-60 years From now when learning about all coronaviruses in that family referring to it as Wuhan virus would be helpful in retaining origin info.

My sister in law is a nurse and ive only ever heard her call it covid 19.

Shes the only medical professional i routinely talk to so take it for what its worth.

RIP The Funk Man

From Reub's article regarding Jamal Adams trade.  Crazy to think Seattle has been consistently good despite their lack of 1st round picks and drafting later in every round.  I always thought the Cowboys were an elite drafting team with poor coaching but Seattle is right up there with knowing how to draft.  Really, really hope this is the year that Howie nailed some picks but it's hard to think that when we have Jalen Hurts and Davion Taylor (nothing against him as a prospect but where he was selected).

5. Making sense of the Jamal Adams trade

Normally I would say two first-round picks (and a three and a starter) is way too high a price for a safety. But Adams is 24 and a truly elite player. And the Seahawks know that their first-round picks — when they keep them — are always at the end of the first round. They’ve kept only four first-round picks since 2013, and they’ve been No. 31, 27, 29 and 27. They haven’t picked higher than 27 since 2012. The Seahawks are the rarest of perennial playoff teams, building and winning without premium first-round picks. The Seahawks are trying to go from being an 11-win team back to the Super Bowl, and the Jets are trying to reach the playoffs for the first time in a decade. This deal gives both teams what they need.

6. Howie doesn't do this

And remember, Roseman has still never traded a first- or second-round pick for a player.

Yeah. Then you have people who believe COVID-19 is the 19th coronavirus. Seriously, I appreciate the conversation. Too many times it just resorts to name calling and no one gets anywhere.

Honestly China virus i don’t really hear all that much. Maybe since this started 8-10 times max. Wuhan virus much more common then China virus. top one is Covid 19. However more and more patients have just called it coronavirus that is an issue. Cause there’s a family of coronaviruses 

Sooooo, football..................................football..............................and then................................football. When do players actually start practicing again?
