Both Barnett and Sweat are out.  Who's he supposed to start other than Curry? 

And obviously he's going to start DJax if DJax can go, he's the best WR on the team. 

You guys crack me up sometimes. 

I wasn't talking about Curry. I was talking more about Alshon and Jackson.  Djax is the best WR on the team because he is a veteran?  Are you basing this on 2015?  At this point, I don't know if you can say he is the best WR on the team.   Also, the Eagles need to find out about these younger players. Fulgham and Watkins should be getting playing time.

8 WRs on the team. Impressive roster management 

And we use more 12 personnel than any other team.

And our next opponent has an ok pass defense, but a terrible run defense.

DJax just needs to run sprints the first half so Hurts and Sanders can do their thing. Should be a win.

Tell him to back the hell off. There's still fans of Wentz here. We're just waiting for the new coaching system and a new GM

If Wentz is traded (and there will be a market), he will excel and we will stay in QB purgatory.

When DJax has been healthy over the past 2 seasons, he's played well.  If he's not the best WR on the team, he's certainly top 2 when healthy...and he's shown that both in game and on film when healthy.

When healthy? So, like 1 game?  Durability is part of the equation when determining who is the best player.  He is never healthy. So, it is pointless.

Regardless of how some fans feel about playing DJax (or any other player that qualifies) the Eagles will start and/or play the players that give them the best opportunity to win.   They're not suiting up every week to get better draft picks or to see if a younger guy "looks good".  As Kelce said this past week, they play the games on Sunday to win.

He played his best with one of the best ever backups on the team.  

Foles wasnt Foles until he won that SB.

Foles was nothing special.  He almost quit football before joining the Eagles.  He wasnt someone Carson was worried about.   Then he won the SB and was the talk of the NFL.  After that, Carson let it affect him.

And this is why Djax is so dangerous.  Defenses respect his presence period.  In the last Giants game, he was drawing multiple defenders.   If he plays, Dallas will have to be concerned about Him, Jalen, Miles defensively all game which could open it up  for our young Guns at WR.   Look, like everyone I wish Desean was healthy but that Giants game wasn't his fault.    We all know what Djax can do when he's healthy.   These last two seasons haven't been the best but I still believe he can contribute.

Depends where he goes.

Let's say Jacksonville gets the #1 pick and they take Lawrence.  Maybe the Jets or another team arent sold on Fields or Wilson.  What if they want Wentz and trade for him.  Then he'll be right back to a crappy organization with no talent around him.

If Wentz goes to a team that already has talent and a good coaching staff then he will probably do well.  But the Eagles can trade him to a bad team if they choose.  All depends where he goes.

I do too.  I love watching him play but the problem is he doesnt cuz he's always hurt.

I do want him to play and I dont.  Still want to see the younger guys get snaps too.

Foles was not thought of as a quality back up in 17. People were wondering if the Eagles would sign someone else for the playoff run. 

Foles has almost universally been considered a great back up and a mediocre starter.

You forget the Chip season, hall of fame 7TDs in a game, 27TDs -2 INT after Vick went out.  From all accounts Carson and Nick were best friends, leading Bible studies and what many considered one of the best and most amicable QB Rooms in the league.  

Matt Stafford is the DJax of QB’s

Foles left the Eagles and got big money from the Rams

Someone thought he was pretty special.

I will never ever criticize anything Foles. If not for him I would die with no ring. I’m only 40🤣

I agree with letting the Young Guns grow but we need a strong veteran WR on this roster.   Djax can also teach these guys how to track better on the deep ball.  It's crazy to think Jalen hurts was only 10 years old when Desean first started in 2008.

I think you mean the Jags. His contract extension with the Rams was not big money. 

Turns out AB was right. He did make JuJu what he was. Ever since he left, JuJu has had only 1 100 yard game in 2 years.

Depends how quickly teams figure out Hurts.  If he can't win as a passing QB the Eagles could well have another 4-win season in 2021 and a top 5 or 6 pick

I visited some other team message boards that were mentioned as potential Wentz destinations.  Steelers, Colts, 9ers.  While they all acknowledge he has not played well this year, they all mention the mess in the front office, the coaching staff and the play calling.  Fans around the league see it as not just a Carson Wentz issue.  

I have a buddy that is a Colts fan who is stoked at the thought of getting Wentz.

Lol so what?  Exhibit 1,002,234,234 that fans are idiots.

Meanwhile, an actual former player for the Colts DANCES A JIG when he finds out that the Colts are NOT interested in Wentz:

Amazing how he exploded when "The Anchor" was off the court too.

Agree that spacing is compromised by "The Anchor".  However, the real problem was lack of a perimeter playmaker.  Whenever Shake Milton was in, even along with "The Anchor", the offense was good.

The guy who wants the Eagles to lose to the Cowboys opinion means nothing here.
