bpac55 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 When it comes to Jalen Hurts I think the most important thing is asking ourselves, what do we need him to be in order for the Eagles to be a SB contending team. We won the Super Bowl with Nick Foles, who is anything but a franchise quarterback. Heck, look at Nick's 27 TD- 2 INT season. You would think quarterback play like that is good enough to win a SB and they lost in the Wildcard Round. No thanks to special teams. Point I'm trying to make is if you have a quarterback performing at that level you would think he can get it done. I also know it takes more than a stat line to be a great quarterback. Now let's look at 2017. Carson had 60% completion percentage, 33 TD 7 INT and nearly 3,300 yards in 13 games. I don't expect Hurts to hit those numbers. DP and Frank Reich called the perfect offense in 2017. They took the right shots when it mattered, dialed up 4th down calls at the right time....everything went right. In 4 games, as a rookie, with trash play calling and next to nothing to throw to, Hurts had a 52% completion percentage, 6 TD 4 INT and almost 1,100 yards. Can Hurts get his completion percentage from 52% up to 60%? I'm not sure if there's any way to find college to pro % translations but as a JR at Bama he had 73% completion and 69.7% as a senior at Oklahoma. I think in year 2 we can expect a big jump here from Hurts. Hurts has so much you love in a player. He's a leader of men, a proven winner and passionate about the game. I honestly have no idea what we have in Hurts. He's another player who's easy to cheer for and you want him to do well. I want him to be the guy so we don't have another year of QB questions followed by another offseason of who are the Eagles going to trade for and so on. I want those potential 3 1st round picks to be used during the draft, not to acquire a QB. I loved Carson Wentz but was anything but a Wentz washer. I think the Eagles did him dirty but I also think he should have sacked up and handled things better. He's gone and Hurts is our guy. Let's hope he proves it was the right choice.

I'm just saying "even I " have to accept that as of May 21, 2021 Carson Wentz has never won a gosh darn thing. Not in College, not in the Pros, did he win something in high school in North Dakota? Not exactly CB West. Wentz led NDSU to a 15–1 record. On January 10, 2015, he started in his first national championship game against Illinois State and passed for 287 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 87 yards and scored a touchdown on a five-yard run to give North Dakota State the lead with 37 seconds left. NDSU won their fourth consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship game, 29–27. On January 9, 2016, Wentz led the Bison to its fifth straight FCS title, running for two touchdowns and throwing for a third.[22] He was named the NCAA Division I-AA Championship Game Most Outstanding Player for the second straight year.

bpac55 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 More reasons why I hate the moves the Cowboys make. Just noticed that they signed TJ Vasher as and UDFA. He's a guy a lot of us were targeting in the later rounds. Simi Fehoko and Vasher were two of the big WR I really liked this year and both now in Dallas. Ugh.

But the simple fact as of May 2021 is the following, Carson did not pan out here. We wish him the best. And "officially" although he was a great contributor on the 2017 team and will always be remembered as a part of a Championship club, as he should be. Officially, as of today, Carson Wentz has ZERO playoff wins in the NFL . Not one. Phil Simms puts him to shame. Ben Roethlisberger ? He's not even in the conversation. He's basically David Carr at this point. He's not freakin Troy Aikman. Heck he's not even Dan Marino but he's a close comparison. I'd give him a slight nod but at THIS point in his career, Ginger Jesus is Jeff George. Sorry if the truth Hurts Shocker how you been?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won the Super Bowl with Nick Foles, who is anything but a franchise quarterback. We needed Nick Foles to outplay the greatest QB of all time in the greatest playoff game the GOAT ever played. Eli Manning and Joe Flacco...not exactly perfect qbs. But in their SB runs...they were incredible. So, to win a super bowl, one can either hope to get lucky that an unspectacular QB randomly puts on a cape and turns into Superman for a 3 game stretch, or one can strive for a higher end qb who does that at baseline. Nick Foles may be a journeyman, but his performance in the NFCCG and SB aren’t exactly evidence that you don’t need great qbs to win. You either need a great qb or an ordinary one who somehow unexpectedly becomes great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEFly Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 1 hour ago, DireWolf said: I'm just trying to get people to accept Carson Wentz's actual accomplishments "as an Eagle". Obviously it's a touchy subject. But in reality Jaworski did more "as an Eagle" . You can not give Carson Wentz CREDIT for the 2017 title. He was a great contributor to the team. But you can't say FOR CERTAIN, they wouldn't have won it without him. Oh for F sake. "Trying to get people to accept”? None of the people you are addressing has said anything about Carson winning a playoff game. Since you are a newb and they aren’t to the blog, I will assure you that the credit Wentz gets towards helping the Eagles get to the Super Bowl is pretty much accepted fact in here. But so is the impact of many others. But the adaptation the coaches made for Foles and probably a bit of the success they had with that was unique to the playoff run. The Eagles used that same adaptation the start of 2018 with less success, probably because teams had longer to prepare for it. So to suggest any kind of likelihood that the Eagles have that kind of success, without the home field advantage gained by Wentz play is a fool’s argument.

If you think North Dakota State could have beaten anybody in the SEC, or Big Ten "on a regular basis" let alone for any kind of TITLE. It's absurd. North Dakota State - The Carson years would have finished no better than 8th in the ACC Well they've consistently won when asked to play Power 5 schools. Likely would have beat Oregon last year if COVID wouldn't have happened as well.

They would have close to zero chance against top power 5 schools.
