Bwestbrook36 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 3 hours ago, What The F said: Wentz will be a draft day trade to a team that isn't able to grab a top 3 qb. Look for SF,Carolina,NE.... I don't see the niners spending 60 million on the QB position. They are in the same position we are in giving a big contract to a QB that is now broken. Doubt they want to pay and try to fix carson on top of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Marcus Hayes with a strong take on how Lurie had to choose between Wentz and Pederson and chose Wentz. He's your QB1 going forward, Eagles Nation. https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/philadelphia-eagles-doug-pederson-jeffrey-lurie-carson-wentz-20210113.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I’m not so convinced of that actually. I wouldn’t be surprised if they dumped Wentz too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br3 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Wentz will ask lurie to hire a coach that won’t coach him too hard and not be so mean to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil77 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Most of the actually reports have been the opposite I imagine people will just to that conclusion but I think for Lurie it had more to do with Press Taylor than Carson Wentz. At this point I wouldn't be shocked if we kept Wentz and I wouldn't be shocked if we traded him. If that is the case then the decision to fire Doug had nothing to do with Wentz.

Hawkeye Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Doug is gone because Wentz has all the leverage. That contract is, for all practical purposes, untradeable and uncuttable so they're stuck with him. He and Doug had a toxic relationship so Doug had to go.

Hawkeye Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Troy Aikman said on Michael Irvin's podcast that he spoke with Pederson after the firing. Pederson wanted to move forward with Hurts as starting QB but Lurie disagreed. https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/troy-aikman-doug-pederson-carson-wentz-jeffrey-lurie-michael-irvin-podcast-20210113.html "Jeffrey Lurie has paid a lot of money to Carson Wentz, and they’re on the hook with him, and can’t get out of that contract right away,” Aikman told Irvin, his longtime friend and former Cowboys teammate. "It’s my belief that Doug Pederson felt that Jalen Hurts probably [should be] the quarterback going forward. But how does that mesh [with Wentz’s contract situation]? I believe it all came down to how they’re going to handle Carson Wentz.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesfanfromND Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Lmfao I can't keep up with all these "reports" haha. So first Lurie signs off on drafting Hurts, then Lurie is pissed because Doug refuses to play him, then Lurie supposedly forces Doug to bench Wentz and play hurts but now Lurie fires Pederson because Pederson wanted to move forward with Hurts as the starter next year. Do I have that all right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil77 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I mean if you can't believe Troy Aikman then who can you believe right? If anyone is going to be plugged into the Eagles it would be an ex Cowboy QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 None of these "reports" make sense, people are throwing ish at the wall to see what sticks. So Doug wanted Hurts so they get rid of him to keep Wentz...then the first guy they call to interview for the coach is Riley, Hurts former coach? And reports during the season were that Doug was too loyal to Wentz and Lurie/Howie forced him to bench him for Hurts. And Doug praised Wentz like crazy no matter how bad he was, and blamed O line, WRs and injuries. Then when Hurts played well he downplayed it and said it was a team effort. Nothing in this organization makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think that he or Lurie truly believe that this is a bad roster. I think they see more positives in this roster than there actually are and so they will look at a retool rather than a rebuild. If that is indeed the case, perhaps we could send them some eye wear that is less rose colored than what they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but being that Wentz is here and doug isn't I could see how they told Doug it was up to him. Since it didn't go over that well they let him take the fall for it. Kind of like what lurie did to chip and letting him make the player decisions. Kind of makes me think Lurie has become a freaking snake too.

Although it would be nice to not see them scapegoating people and randomly deciding who they want to blame. As fans that's fine we have no say and don't have inside access. When it is clear that even the whole damn organization is unsure of who to blame, that's the problem It does look like they know who not to blame though.

Exactly, and like 5 min ago I read that carson got lurie to fire Doug.... What a bunch of a-holes. If that's true I'm not so sure I even want to bother with this team until Wentz and Howie are gone.

And you're right if that's true then Carson has to come back and crush it next year! Some suggested he had too much power within the organisation and this would be another report that may suggest that is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
