Talonblood Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 So Jared Goff and Carson Wentz were the big named QB's in the draft a few years ago, and look at them now. Weird how players look so good in college, then melt in the NFL sun and just fade away. I feel bad for Wentz, but life is what it is. If life hands me lemons, I throw those mother fu_ _ er's out the window!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff actually played really well on a really bad team especially down the stretch and he hasn't missed a lot of time due to injury or broken V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other guy is the better option than so be it.

True but the chances of that again are about zero especially for the Bears who don't have 3 hall of fame weapons waiting for Foles to throw too.

But we're all our own worst enemies. Wentz didn't make enough out of the situations that were in his control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foles didn’t need 3 HOF weapons to throw to in order to win a Super Bowl. It’s no secret Doug’s most successful run as a HC was with Foles as his quarterback.

He’s a millionaire and he’s barely had to play to earn any of it. He did get injured a lot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Foles and Doug, but I don’t care if they succeed or fail. They aren’t Eagles anymore. The only way I would openly root against them though was if that in some way helps the Eagles or they play for a divisional opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make all that money, but by 50 many of them are killing themselves or just dying. Having little to moderate gain for all your life in the eyes of some is much better than having it all for a short period of time and then losing everything all at once.

Exactly no amount of money will get rid of the brain damage, deep depression and thoughts of suicide to make the ringing in your head stop. Then the only friends you have are people that want your money. I rather be an average Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must take a tool on a person. When the Great Depression hit all the rich people were the ones killing themselves. The poor were used to being poor. Sounds like Doug’s coaching tour isn’t over. He’s set to interview with the Broncos and Vikings. The irony of Doug coaching the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If life hands me lemons, I throw those mother fu_ _ er's out the window!!! Luck retired about 6 months before Wentz had that concussion which I think was worse than reported since it was the end of the year and even before the uncomfortable phone call with Howie about drafting Hurts, he probably had thoughts of calling it quits himself. He played in 2020 like he had already checked out, and it’s how he played the last few games this season as well. The thoughts of more football in the playoffs was something he didn’t want to deal with and wanted the season to be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
