[quote=Chico23231;1318451]We are due for strong QB play…Alex, Haskin, Heinke, Fitzpatrick…man we have been on a roll[/quote]Yes we are due. Feels like it's been decades. Eager to see what Wentz can do.

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
 

It's crazy how NFL media has taken a lock-step position that Wentz is somehow one of the five worst QBs in the NFL. With a lot of it being based on dickfuck Irsay. Just crazy. He is a top 16 NFL QB. And 2nd best in our division.

Honestly, if he had gone to any other team the tune would be completely different. We just have to deal with that. He'll prove a lot of people wrong, and they'll be singing a different tune by week 6.

This

Pittsburgh was def interested as well as Cleveland. If he woulda gone to Pittsburgh the talking heads would have called it a home run and they would be a “sleeper pick” this week going into the season.

This organization has rightfully earned this reputation..it’s gonna take alot more then Jason Wright pulling the same “winning off the field” narratives…only way to turn it around is on the field.

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
 

Wentz is gonna prove a lot of folks wrong … gonna be a top 10 GB this year !!

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
 

It's just weird how he is judged. Most media members are spineless, so once a narrative gets drawn, lots of people just fall in line.

He was No. 9 overall in QBR last year. Oh the horror of having him be the starting QB for X team in 2022. The horror!!!

Fuck Snyder and fuck our team (our team hasn't earned respect), it's flat out disrespectful to the man himself.

Media loves their narratives. Just an excuse to be lazy imo.

The media is not only ignoring recency bias, but also the fact that an NFL owner put in a full blown smear PR campaign against Wentz that EVERYONE is buying into.

I'm not going to drink the Kool-Aid and say that Wentz is going to be this great elite QB and whatnot. But what drives me crazy about all of this lazy journalism is that I ask myself: did these MF'ers see the QB play this team has had in the past couple of years? Any of them catch the gazillion wounded ducks that Heineke threw last year? Wentz may end up being an average QB, but that's a huge upgrade over the terrible QBs we've had in this team.

It's the red hair. In all seriousness I really don't see how this isn't a marked improvement in QB play from last year.

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
 

Irsay's smear campaign worked apparently

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
 

If Wentz was the QB for the Eagles again, I bet you the media would say they are still the favorites in the east

FYI, Heineke had a better YPA than Wentz last year.

69, I’m gonna get you a Wentz jersey after he leads us to the playoffs this year.

Yet he still managed 27 TDs and 7 INTs. Imagine how much better he will be now that he has an O-line that can pass-block, and some legit weapons besides J Taylor.

Actually they were the same at 6.9

Both better than Josh Allen so I guess we're set

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
 

In 8 starts Wentz didn't break 200 yards. In one start against NE he had 57 yards passing...lol.
