So three years in a row it was just "LUCK" he only had 7 picks a season and the pace of 24 is more of the norm?  That is what I am supposed to believe? 

Sorry, what I posted was 2018. Yes in 2018 he was one of the luckiest QBs in the league in terms of interceptions. Ten dropped picks was third most in the nfl. 
 

Either way I don’t know why it is hard to believe. He has always had issues with passes sailing high on him. High throws lead to interceptions. McNabb also had spotty accuracy, but he had passes typically went low, so not surprising that his interception totals were low.

He made better decisions the past few years.  This year he isn't.  Why do you want to be in denial about it?

He was like this since the Super Bowl though.  Not as bad with the turnovers but last season we had the same conversations about erratic play, bad throws and mechanics.  And post-SB it was Carson let Foles' winning the SB get to his head, or his injury got in his head, the lack of trust in his receivers...and there are factors there but he also has to take responsibility and if he wants to be the hero and always looking to make a play you can't blame other factors all the time.  

There was a video clip from the on field SB celebration that showed him and Foles together.  Foles was holding up the Lombardi and Wentz says to him:  "That's me next year".

And the way he said it I really believe that he fully believed that.  He expected that he'd be back playing in the SB and winning it.  I wouldn't surprise me if there are multiple things going on in his head that have him playing so loose and free like he does.  Like watching Foles play lights out and win SB MVP, having things not be as easy as the 2017 season was, having yet to win a playoff game, being injured as much as he has and missing games and possibly even the Hurts pick when they clearly had other needs to fill.  

He needs help from the coaches.  This OC by committee probably isn't helping him right now.  Get him an OC and a QB coach who will stay on his arse instead of being his buddy and that would be one good step towards him playing better.

But my question is why?  Why has his decision making falling off this year?  What is different than the past three years?  Coaching?  All the new coaches?  Not one single voice?  Something changed all of the sudden what?   Carson just decided I am going to chuck it up this year?

To me it doesn't matter why because the NFL is a results based business.  But, some of it might be the Hurts draft pick. Maybe he feels like he wants to prove the organization wrong for drafting another QB and he is overdoing it.  But, to me, "why" is secondary to the results.  His decision making is killing this team.  Coaches shouldn't have to keep harping on him to get rid of the ball in less than 4 seconds or to protect the ball or to not throw it into double coverage on 1st down when we have at least two other downs to get yards.

Every time he drops back to pass I think oh no here comes another interception or fumble.

The bigger issue is that he needs to take to coaching.   He shouldn't have to be told to get rid of the ball in less than 8 seconds by now. That is taught in high school and college.  He needs to be held accountable.

No doubt.

I agree with the buddy thing, it's like the parent that wants to be a buddy to their children, unfortunately the children already have their buddies so  a buddy is not what they need, they need a parent, likewise for the QB/Coach relationship.

Reagor, Goedert and Peters back in the lineup, and Fulgham is the top receiver now so they're really only missing Sanders (big loss) and Ertz who has had a bad year anyway.  So realistically in this 2020 season his top playmakers were all there last night except Sanders...and Boston Scott was playing well.  On the O line he was missing Lane Johnson and Seumalo.

Cannot blame injuries for poor decisions and turnovers.

Hell, even Clement had a few decent runs.

That's a good analogy.

And Huntley with a run or 2 in there.  Yeah I had to do a double take on the Clement run, I was like is that him?  Ha.  

With Sanders out you really have to use RBBC, and I would even use Hurts more as a runner in those situations.  Boston Scott plays hard and gives great effort but you need to mix things up.  I do want a commitment to the run especially with a lead and especially against a weaker team...and a QB turning the ball over.  

Lol you guys must be crying. Doug pretty much said he's not benching Wentz

See this here is the problem. Someone needs to send Wentz a wake up call and Doug doesn't have the balls to do it or some misguided attempt to show confidence. Nothing is going to change by ignoring the issues.

I don't think it is that Doug doesn't have the balls ... it is more blind loyalty like he has shown for JP, Groh, Walch, etc.

Loyalty I don't have any issues with but the blind part is annoying.

I think he let the Hurts draft selection get to his head. Now he has gone overboard and is taking every unnecessary chance and common sense has taken a back seat.

How could anything get in his head with that hat. What's that about, Cam Newton 2.0.

Lots of factors tie into this. The major one there has been no consistency in the team almost everything has changed everyear of his 5 years from coaches to wr to lineman to runningbacks leads to the whole team being inconsistent and a sheet show including carson

A lot of that had to do with the weak opponents the Eagles played late in the season last year.  The only reasonably good team they played in the last five games was Dallas...and they scored 17 points in that game (though it would have been 24 points had the Eagles not been trying to run out the clock).

It doesn't matter who the opponent is......you saw last night how bad a QB can be when his head is messed up....even against the worst defense in the league.

When his head isn't in the way, he's a dangerous QB......but because he's mentally all over the place, you get wildly different performances, mind-boggling mistakes sprinkled with incredible plays.  Inconsistent as hell.  And you can't win consistently with such inconsistency in a QB.

A QB's job is 90% mental.......when they overthink, it slows down the whole process.....instead of reacting instinctively, he's trying to think his way thru....which leads to a whole bunch of bad things...screwing up footwork, too slow thru his reads, holding the ball too long, locking on to one receiver......among a few others.  And when they press harder, it throws off passing mechanics, timing and trying to make something out of nothing......and they end up with a sack, fumble or INT.  

It's a problem that will compound itself.  Normally, mechanics will work itself out by playing more.....but when it's in his head, then it takes something else. Players don't play for physical injuries.....QBs need time on the bench when the mental part of the game is struggling.    And I don't mean in and out of the starting lineup....I mean benching him and only putting him in with an emergency situation.

If they want Wentz as their LT QB, and they do, they need to get him right......

No doubt the lack of continuity hurts the offense as a whole but can't be used as an excuse for some of the mistakes Carson is making by holding on to the ball too long or throwing across his body to the other side of the field, etc.

I don’t know if they win against Dalton especially if Wentz is playing worse than Mark Sanchez. 

Its hard to say isn't it. Who knows how the game plays out if Dalton is in. But yeah I mean if the game takes the same form with our offense then no doubt.

Im not sure we beat all of them again. NY we only beat because of a drop pass. Skins might win this div. They actually look the best at this point. 6 might be the number. I think we might get a upset win over one of the big dogs but will lose of of the div games we should win. 

I just don't see them winning another 4 games. But hey I don't disagree that we could easily go and lose to NY, lose to WFT, lose to Dallas.

Yeah, his now classic 'Worm Burners'.     

Always wondered how many of those were on purpose, given his reliance on his marvelous stats to keep him in HOF conversations.

Wentz playing a bad 1st half. Has Reagor, Goedert and Peters back and Fulgham and Ward are quality receivers as well.

Can't blame injuries for terrible decisions and being careless with the ball.

After he escaped and still got sacked and then fumbled I put the game on audio and just listened until the 2nd half.

I can't take watching him do stoopid crap anymore . . . I can't !!  It ruins any enjoyment of watching the game ! 

I have no patience for it and it drives me  absolutely  NUCKIN'  FUTZZZZZ!!!!

Wentz saying he’s not going to change and keep taking chances reminds me of Jay Cutler after his 5 Int game, he said the same thing.
