Posted December 7, 20204 yr (Original post Dec 2020 when he took over for Wentz.) Dec 2022: follow for injury updates.
December 7, 20204 yr So what now armchair GMs? Tank for Trevor or give Hurts a full offseason to compete with Wentz?
December 7, 20204 yr Doesn’t matter who’s the QB if the Oline can’t block, the WR’s can’t get open, the coaches can’t coach and the GM can’t identify talent.
December 7, 20204 yr Y'all need to be careful what you wish for. If Hurts and Reagor look too good, it'll save Howie's job, and maybe Doug's, and I know a lot of you would rather lose than see that happen. 😂
December 7, 20204 yr We need this team to burn if we want change from GM to HC. Can't have Hurt pulling a Foles.
December 7, 20204 yr Wentz was absolutely horrendous. Hurts provided a spark... and deserves the next start.
December 7, 20204 yr Happy to see Hurts look decent. But still a Wentz believer ... he just needs time to get his head right. Anyway, point is, I think we’ll be OK at QB either way moving forward. Hope Hurts starts next weekend.
December 7, 20204 yr Put Hurts in next week. Let him deal with the crap Wentz has had to deal with F it 🤷♂️ Wentz is still the QB because of the contract no matter what a lot of you want Wentz either fixes his stuff for next season or this franchised ruined a QB
December 7, 20204 yr Jalen Hurts is nowhere near as good as 2017 Carson Wentz. Jalen Hurts is a much better player than 2020 Carson Wentz. 2017 Wentz doesn't exist anymore.
December 7, 20204 yr Made a few throws but overall not very impressive. But no surprise there. No way they can get Trevor Lawrence. He’s going to the Jets.
December 7, 20204 yr Wentz needs a break. Hurts needs to start the next game. See how it goes from there.
December 7, 20204 yr With our oline we need a QB who looks to run first or atleast use their legs to get to open space hurts did that for the most part... when protection started to break down for wentz he was bobbing and waving around the backfield not moving upfield.
December 7, 20204 yr Let's cool it a bit. Green Bay was up what, three scores? We've seen QBs come in when they haven't been game planned for and look decent (SF game this season). That said if Fulgham didnt blow and we don't get called on a BS holding penalty we might be having a different conversation. All in all, not bad.
December 7, 20204 yr Id love to Hurts play, reason why is it will confirm the QB is not the major problem, its the coaching. My prediction is Hurts will have a decent game his first start. Most first time QBs/backups do well since there is no real tape on them. Wont be a great game but a decent game. But then it goes back to reality. I liked 3 throws out of his 5 completions. But you saw struggles with him finding players open like Wentz and had to take off with his legs. 5 completed passes out of 18/19 pass plays called. His benefit is his legs. He has more of chance at a bigger gain on the ground when He cant find a rec and the pocket breaks down. But like the Ravens and Jackson, teams will get tape and figure a way to stop it.
December 7, 20204 yr from a front office perspective I don’t know what you can do. trade wentz and take the hit? If you go with hurts the rest of the season you can’t just calmly go back to wentz if you bench him for rest of the season he is done in philly. If that is the case you can’t have wentz and his contract on the bench for 2 years while hurts develops that isn’t fair to hurts or the team. so if the decision is to go with hurts for the rest of the season then you have to move wentz but how can you and take the 59 mil dollar cap hit.
December 7, 20204 yr Spadaro trashing Wentz hyping Hurts and talking about the decision they have to make this offseason. The narrative has been packaged and delivered.
December 7, 20204 yr At this point, I don't care. The discussion should always start with firing Howie.

December 7, 20204 yr He should get all the first team reps and start. See what he has after a few games on tape.
