Duce is moving on, which is a good thing for him to expand his experience in a different system.  Frankly, having passed over in recent years for a higher position, his value is sliding down.  It won't change by staying put with the team.  Moving on is the right move.  Wish him well and continue to do the good things.

No, no he doesn’t.  No value to him doing it now.  He needs to reflect on what went wrong this season and his role in it.  He needs to take this offseason to address his failings.   Now it almost sounds like Carson may have become a bit unmanageable and got sat down.  Sounds like a disconnect between Taylor and him.  He also had some awfully green low floor, potentially high ceiling WRs.   I am sure that Doug’s revolving door at WR coach didn’t help.

So, lateral move. At least he can maybe build up his network a bit.

So same exact job title/position with another team. Has anyone outside of the Eagles interviewed Duce for a HC role? Has anyone even interviewed him for an OC role? So either 31 other teams in the league are racist, or maybe Duce just isn't as well-thought of from a scheming/gameplanning/innovation standpoint as many journalists think he is.

Seems to be your problem.   McLane's 'report'?   The unnamed source?   Also found a single unnamed source that wanted to be negative about the Eagles' HC selection.  

Wentz doesn't have to address the fans.  Wentz needs to go work on his game, but doesn't need to address unsubstantiated reports.   He did that with the Josina piece and the Sangigalo piece.  It's tired at this point.

As of right now, I'm leaning towards extending Mailata and trading Dillard. With Stoutland back, I would be surprised if he preferred Dillard to Mailata.

Didn't he push for Dillard at the draft?  Was effusive in his praise for the guy after the fact, and got a bit feisty with those like me who dared to suggest that his run blocking was going to need a bit of work.

Why? What will you do if he doesn't? WIll you stand on a hill and scream? Will you write a personal open letter to Jeff Lurie? 

 

I really dont get this need, why would he address a false report? It wont go away just because he says it aint true. It never does. He spoke after every game, never once blamed anyone else. Cox, Ertz, Kelce all came out in support of Wentz. Cox said he was his best friend on the team.  We dont need to hear anything else from Wentz. I want him to work his but off and prove to me on the field next season, let his playing do the talking. I always disliked it when QB's come out and say things like :THIS YEAR, I have changed this, or here is my new slogan for this year" Thats hogwash, shut up and play!

 

It's just with society today, a bunch of over entitled brats screeching.

The only thing Wentz owes this fan base is to buy into Sirianni/Steichen and put in a serious offseason of work. I don’t give a crap about his comments on some article. He can be silent and invisible to us until camp for all I care as long as he’s working.

Wentz needs to absorb the new offense and master it by the end of training camp.  He needs to quit turning the ball over and return to playing like a top 10 NFL QB next season; if he doesn’t it will be his last season with the Eagles.  I don’t give an ish about any of the other stuff.  
 

Everyone loves Aaron Rodgers, even though he’s a complete knob of a teammate and very difficult to coach — because he’s mastered their offense and gives his team a chance to win every week.

Kinda surprised Duce took a job with Anthony Lynn as the OC.

Other than that, he’s off to a great start.   😂

Haha. I really seem to have touched a nerve with my criticism of Wentz's silence. Maybe it's just my anxiety that he is the one who is feeling most entitled. Anyway, I share everyone's hopes that he has a humble, quiet offseason full of hard work and learning the new scheme. Hope he enters camp ready to compete for the job.

I hope we trade Hurts for an extra 2nd round draft pick instead of having to listen and read about a "QB competition” until September and beyond

I agree that trading Wentz or Hurts for good value would seem to be an optimal step in year 1 of the rebuild. Let the market dictate which one.

Even if he ends up like Ryan Tannehill, I still want to trade Wentz.

Do we think Wentz is going to win a playoff game against Mahomes? Rodgers? If the answer is no, trade him.
To beat those players, you need to have top 5 rosters to make it competitive.

I'm confused by this... Teams win games, not players.  

And didn't we see the Eagles win the Super Bowl with Nick Foles as the starting QB against Tom Brady?  So... was Nick the guy to keep or was it just that the Eagles TEAM was better than the Patriots TEAM?

 

I'm a 'team' guy.

If that's the case then there aren't many QB's out there who can do that. 

Maybe the Bills will trade us Josh Allen.  He lost to Mahomes, so they have to move on.

Why is everyone so afraid of Hurts if he is trash?  Kinda weird. Something seems sus?

Wentz will address the media when he wants to.  

The current Philly media gives me an even deeper appreciation for Steve Carlton.  Imagine the hate campaign these present day crybabies would have for his silent treatment.

Unfortunately I don’t think any present day athletes are allowed to prohibit interviews — they really should.

That would be racist to do that and not give Hurts the shot.  

Hurts couldn't beat the Chiefs if they started Travis Kelce at QB

Here is a surprise, what was reported, The Offense will be Frank Reich Based, which was- what was run here during 2017. SO he should already basically know it.
