i didn't i didn't sleep while i was
tossing and turning because i watched a
horror movie last night
um it was called carson wentz's latest
start
uh i mean this is like i see it
man when i say i'm hurting i'm not even
an eagles fan i don't understand how
eagles fans even though their super bowl
as they will remind you was not that
long ago i don't understand how eagles
fans
are or are coping right now watching
their quarterback
and it's not just like it's one thing
when your franchise when you're watching
you know okay if you're the jets and
you're watching sam darnold
okay maybe he's a bust or maybe he's
just poorly coached so we don't have
a supporting cast around him okay maybe
yeah right right
if you are um
give me another team that's got a
terrible quarterback situation
jacksonville you know just name one your
jacks oh the bears
okay you the bears okay or the bears
there you go you know you got you know
you missed on mitchell trubisky
you know you're you're fledgling no
answer
but but there's something cruel and
unusual
about having a quarterback who not long
ago i believe it was 2017
prior to an acl tear was on track
to be league mvp who your organization
gave a well-deserved i think 120 million
dollar contract extension to
you thought that you had your long-term
answer at quarterback they traded up to
get this kid
and they hit it big
and now you watch him
i don't believe he'd ever thrown more
than seven picks
in a season and now he's got 15 this
year
he's on pace to be sacked 67 times
his passer rating is down 24 points
over his passer rating combined over the
previous three seasons
to say he looked lost and looks lost is
an
understatement it whether
it's the offensive line the protection
the play calling which doug peterson
says he may
relinquish or he's open anything the
receivers are lack thereof
all i know is how does one go from
being a star
to being this is not that regression
doesn't do this justice
right this is alarming this is
frightening this is scary it's like
and and worse they're stuck like chuck
and then
they mess with his head they play they
play jedi minds let me help you by
drafting the quarterback into
her let let me represent let me
represent like five or six other teams
in the
in the league no no you you're not stuck
we'll take him off your hands for you
they might i hear what you're saying
they might they can't
even if they wanted to move on from him
financially it's just too cost
prohibitive so you go and you draft the
quarterback and he's first of all
he's already probably got in the back of
his head that nick foles took him to
super bowl and i didn't
he you know he can't escape that all
right as recently as brett favre
people have brought that up nick how are
you going to report it out front
right he had a great player how are you
going to draft a great super bowl you
have jalen hurts
in the second round and this is where
the organization
a lot of mistakes the organization has
made around carson wentz but this is at
the top of the list for me the most
recent one
how do you get this dude first right let
me just pause right there
yeah and just repeat what you just said
repeat what you just said so because
if we were taking notes right now uh if
i'm if i'm in professor smith's class
i'm underlining and highlighting
what you just said say it again start
the organization okay
they've made a lot of a lot of mistakes
around carson wentz
but at the top of the list is having a
quarterback drafted in the second round
and giving that second round pick first
team reps
and then playing him for what two snaps
like what are we doing with this i mean
i i'm afraid that they've ruined him
i just wonder how he's going to come
back from this in philadelphia
okay there you go oh and i agree with
you i agree with you in philadelphia
that's the key
that's the key phrase because i don't
think carson wins
is ruined i don't think carson wins is a
bus
i do believe he can be a great
quarterback again
and he was you know i mean nitpick a
little bit in 2017 season
all those numbers that you mentioned the
completion percentage in this modern nfl
a little lower than you want i think
it's like around 61 percent something
like that
not great right but i like him
he's a really good he's a really good
quarterback who
whose head is swimming all over the
place in philadelphia
and i do think despite the contract i
think for him to get out of this
he needs to be in another city because
what
otherwise what needs to happen usually
doesn't happen
in an organization i'm not saying firing
everybody that's the easy way to go
what needs to happen is the organization
needs to look at itself do some uh
self-scouting and say okay this is what
we've done wrong
and this is how we can support our
quarterback and this is where we made
some mistakes
with our with our management and doug
peterson this is where
you need to get better and straighten
this whole thing out now that
that generally doesn't happen usually
people just
get cleared out of jobs and you start
over i would say that's a mistake
because if i can double up here mike i
have i said
before you do let me just let me just
make a quick correction uh because you
know i'm a stickler for this kind of
thing
uh i said he'd never thrown more than
seven he actually threw 14 his rookie
year
um he hadn't thrown seven he had thrown
more than seven each of the previous
three years and now he's got a league
high of 15 picks
uh this year i just wanted to clarify
that thanks to pro football reference
remind me to tell you something about
pro football reference later in the show
but go ahead
well i would say uh mike if you want to
continue to be like uh
if you consider the president a role
model then you should just keep
lying keep making up stats and not
not true because that's what we want we
want from our leadership it gets you
places it gets you places
anyway uh but let me make that switch
here
to the to this the second point is what
made philly special
not to play on words you know philly
special great play the super bowl
against the patriots
but what made what made philly special i
believe was organizational depth
it's very difficult to have a guy like
carson wentz
take you through 13 games have these
incredible numbers
you lose that guy you go to the backup
quarterback at the time and nick fultz
nick foles who is the backup not the
starter he was your backup you didn't
make a mistake philly
oh we should have kept nick foles no i i
wish i could stop that yeah
stop that you go to nick foles and they
have
a great playoff run knocking off the
patriots dick foles mvp what an
incredible story
but i i say that what that's what makes
uh that's what made philly special
and what makes a lot of super bowl teams
special
is that they get there they win it and
they know
despite what happens the next season is
usually a downturn
or in the next two seasons they know
they've got the right people in place
so i asked philly that's jeff lurie
was your win a fluke or did you have the
right people in place
oregon i know carson wasn't there but
was doug peterson the right guy
it's holly roseman or what is the right
guy do you have the right if you have
the right people in place
chill out yeah yeah
tell that coach say be cool
maybe maybe he learns
i mean you know andy reid you know his
time in philly
and even when they let him go and it
worked out of course they end up getting
the super bowl
but look what he's done in kansas city
so he didn't forget how to coach
but it wasn't always smooth sailing in
philly as i recall
you know they were they they had some
some bumps along the way
um and and good organization to talk
about pittsburgh all the time good
organizations they believe in their
people and they stick with them through
the ups and downs
um but i just you know you typically
don't see somebody
so last night going back to play calling
and i
you know i i watched toward the end of
the game when it when it was an 11-point
game
to go for it on fourth and three fourth
and four whatever it was
instead of keeping your feet and keeping
you keeping it that was dumb
it was just dumb that was done and and
that was that's why carson wins
and carson wins throwing to the end zone
to know what he needs four yards
i mean it was it was it was
mind-boggling across
the board but i just wonder it's like
you you don't see this kind of
regression in year five
after the kind of brilliance borderline
brilliance that we saw from carson wentz
i mean probably was top 12 15
and that's being conservative
quarterback coming into this year
and then yeah good good to drop off
i just wonder it can all be protection
it can't all be injuries it can't all be
wide receivers
but why not because he's not a guy
that's a lot misnamed a lot of important
things to a quarterback you said i know
coaching too wait so i got a decision
why can't why can't that be it coaching
injuries coaching personalities
protection
person his own mistakes well there you
go and that's all together
and he he's not he's not i don't i don't
know how much of the blame
blame pie i would divide up but he's not
making it better he's part of the
problem and not the solution
and my concern for him you're right i
wouldn't i don't think he's done
i wouldn't try to get rid of him even
though they
in all practicality they can't i just
worry what kind of lasting effect
all of this will have on yeah is it as
simple as hitting the reset button in
off season
and then coming back next year hey
