So if Wentz is on the roster next year. Would he be the most expensive backup ever?

I do too, to an extent. I could see Doug doing the 2 QB packages from time to time. 

I think it'd be pointless with Hurts as the starter. Putting Wentz in would be playing 11 vs 10, as it was anyway.

I think his contract would not allow that. Too much of a hit for a cap strapped team like ours. Might be wrong but thats what I remember reading.

 

It was when I discovered this about Elliott's contract that I finally turned against Howie.

Hurts is ok

where was the RPO with Wentz ?

Or the run game. Or rollouts. Or Jet sweeps.

Hurts has been balling, though.

Ugh we did this too late in the season...now well win a bunch and somehow miss the playoffs 9n this miserable division

I’m still seeing this line give up pressure. I’m still seeing penalties too. Somehow they’re overcoming these issues. I wonder why? 

Guess what changed 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I mean there's no denying this team gets it together in December. 

The Giants left the door open and the Eagles still have a game against Dallas and Washington. They’re not out of this.... I don’t know how happy I am about that, but we will see how it goes.

Everytime I would yell at Wentz to run the ball, Hurts does it before I can speak up. So far so good!

The closer he gets the worse he is. No wonder they go for 2 pt conversion all the time. I'm scared every time he kicks.

Maybe he was beaten with a FG post when he was growing up and still gets nervous when he gets too close to them.

Most certainly.

Jake Elliot has one of those stupid faces that you just want to dragon kick every time they screw up.

Yup miss the playoffs and lose top 5 draft position at the same time... oh well at least the game is enjoyable to watch.

you're on meth

Why wouldn’t we ? Saints a good team and we dismantling them and the 9 game streak..... we would be up more if not for a missed FG too. You probably doubted Foles I’m sure in 2017 and said the same thing lol

Hurt's reaction time is quicker than Carson's

Elliots probably a big cap hit if he's cut after the season

They actually save 2.2 million if they cut him prior to June 1st, but its a 5 million cap hit

EDIT: I read it wrong, its an additional 2.2 cap hit

#DougCember!!

I think this was what we all wanted: for Hurts at the very least to go out there and manage the game. WHO KNEW that the entire offense would wake up?? Someone said earlier, it is criminal that Sanders does not have more touches. I am pleased with Hurts so far not making any mistakes and making fast, good decisions....all in all, good first half of football but....

WHY is Jake Elliott still on this football team????

Glad hurts looks good, making good decisions, doing some real good things.

he’s running a lot, no receivers are getting open. Offensive line looks half way decent with peters out.

im still all in on wentz, I still think the offense is vanilla and the receivers are running too long of routes. 
im an eagles fan, I want every player to do well and the negativity towards one player is not the answer,  wentz needs to clean some things up, but the failures of this season don’t just lie with him. Pederson had a responsibility to fix this crap a long time ago(his offense)

as I’m writing this, Elliott missed a 22 yarder to the half, still think this guy can be good, but dude, you got one job....
 

I don't know why Elliott felt he had to power kick that ball. It's a 22 yarder. You don't have to kick it that hard.  That's why he hooked it. Just kick it straight. He lacks judgment.

Horrible move by Howie committing that much to a kicker that’s been streaky his whole time as an Eagle.

The girl from Vandy wouldn’t miss that kick. 

Hey now. You're talking about the defending SEC special teams player of the week! Lol

Hurts runs better, plays smarter.... throws it away instead of holding ball, had same players on offense.... I know it one game but I seen enough already lol
