By the way Deshaun Watson comparison only applies to Wentz as they both have years of NFL experience. Lol really? Compared to the Eagles last season Watson was surrounded by pro-bowlers! Houston's problem was defense not offense.

Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller played and I'm sure those guys are better at getting open than anyone we were starting for the majority of the season. And yes, while their O line was also in bad shape, they at least ran the ball so the QB didn't have to do everything. So yeah, I'm sure. Unless there was some point that Watson had only one 1st stringer on offense other than himself, which is what our QB's had to work with. Ok sure, that's fine, I was under the impression Fuller was traded and not on the Texans.. Yes Wentz & Hurts had poor undeveloped talent around them but you still cant compare that situation of what Wentz had to deal with to Hurts, end of the day Wentz had years of NFL experience behind him while Hurts did not even have a training camp.. I am hoping Hurts comes through this season, if not there is draft capital to go out and get the QB for the future.

Unless there was some point that Watson had only one 1st stringer on offense other than himself, which is what our QB's had to work with. Yeah he did have Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks, and when Will Fuller got suspended he had Keke Coutee, a receiver who suits up half a season if he's lucky and Chad Hansen who hadn't played a game in 3 years who racked up 400 yards in 6 games and 236 yards in 5 games at the end of last season, Watson elevated his receivers on his way to 4000 odd yards at 70 plus percent accuracy, Wentz hasn't thrown a 1000 yard receiver in 5 years, had both his starting tight ends and couldn't hit TE's, Receivers or Tailbacks consistently as he followed his receivers into a hole.

June 18, 20214 yr I know this has to have been mentioned before in this thread, but I don't feel like reading it all. Hurts played what, 4 games? With absolutely no offensive line, and no receivers. There is no comparison with Wentz's performance expectations.

He just decided that he didn't want to play here anymore for whatever reason. Call it hurts, call it Howie, call it foles, whatever. He quit on the franchise after they gave him everything. They delayed benching him WEEKS past when he should have been because they had that much faith in him. Then he gets all disgruntled because he was playing so badly he got benched? He could go on to win 10 super bowls and people would call the eagles stupid for trading him, but what choice did they have? They fired Doug and wentz still didn't want to be here. If they held onto wentz he definitely wasn't going to win a championship with no drive. He would've been Jay Cutler. I think Wentz is a crybaby and a quitter with a big ego. Was bound to happen. Glad he's gone, sooner than later... Rather have someone with half his talent who's a team player and a leader. Dude folded and took his ball home.

June 20, 20214 yr After watching that video, we are a lock to go all the way with Hurts. He's got swag and stood tall in the pocket to hit open receivers against that defense. He was unstoppable.

June 28, 20214 yr I'm bored (nothing much to talk about right now/off season), but I guess I want to say as an Eagles fan, I have to be a Hurts supporter until I no longer have to be. I will try to back him, because he is all we have right now. I'm not hoping he fails, even though I have always had my doubts about that entire draft. So wether I like it or not, I am backing him until a new #1 QB takes over, should that happen. Who knows, maybe he grows into a very good QB.

We supported him and defended him until the point where we just couldn't defend him anymore. And at that point it was time to move on.

It happened again in 2018 after the injury and 2019 with that awful team around him. 2020 was the 1st year where it made any major sense to question him and, again, many did.

There was about 10 of us that questioned Wentz in 18 and 19 and we got ragged relentlessly for it, the idea the fanbase turned early is nonsense. My view with Wentz outside 17 is that he didn't do anything that an average competent starter might manage in what was a historically bad division with a good O Line and he was given way too early an extension based on the evidence available at the time.

He chose to die on that hill though so....

He chose to die on that hill though so.... I was a supporter of Foles, but I believed that letting him go at the time was the right move. I also felt going with Wentz was the right move. I wasn’t as confident in giving him the contract, but I understood why they did that too, but for me I really started to question Wentz two seasons ago after Foles was gone and it just looked like his mechanics seemed out of whack and he was making some questionable throws. Still he would show flashes like the throw he made in Washington, but some of his clunker games that year were troubling. Then one more year ending with an injury too and my doubts were full on. Last season made it clear to me he isn’t a guy that is capable of winning anything big.
