If you can do it over, would you have drafted Carson Wentz?

Hurts came along four years after Dak.  Would Dak have shown enough for the Eagles NOT to take Hurts in Round 2?  That's the question. 

I don't think so. Be a Super Bowl champion? No. If you forgot, Dak struggled in 2017 when Zeke got a 6 game suspension and before Amari Cooper got there. He also had benefit of having lots of weapons on offense and only one Playoff win to show for it. He squeaked by a one-win Texans team today and lost against Eagles practice squad in 2019. Would Eagles even have wanted to pay Dak? Joneses and some Cowboys fans apparently didn't want to. Even some Cowboys fans have wanted Dak benched or gone and even want Cooper Rush to play over Dak. With that said, what do you think Eagles fans would think of Dak? 

What has Dak shown you to think Eagles would have won with Dak? Do you honestly believe that Dak would have beaten Tom Brady on Brady's best day in Super Bowl LII? Remember, it was Foles, not Pederson, who called that Philly Special play.

Like I said, I saw Dak play at Mississippi State and he showed to me then he could win.

I think he has 18 career game winning drives? So yeah I mean I don't think he's shown it in the play offs yet but he's a very good QB.

Ultimately the Eagles never would have taken Dak, because they were completely focused in on Wentz. The only would have/could have we could say is what could have been Carson’s career if he didn’t get hurt. Of course it does make one wonder if Carson wins that Super Bowl too. Losing to the Chiefs, and to the Seahawks that year makes me doubt we would have won it. 

Damn, how did we miss on Brock Purdy?

Imagine if we had Hurts/Minshew/Purdy

I like the way things have worked out, so yes.
