Breaking: Frank Reich says Carson Wentz had an old foot injury dating back to perhaps high school according to doctors. Over time, the broken bone came loose and caused pain. The decision has been made to undergo surgery and remove it. 5-12 weeks.
Of course. Its a rite of passage if you're an Eagles rookie WR to have an injury hamper your growing process.2nd from the Colts
And
Devonta Smith, perfectly healthy throughout college. Meets Eagles training staff for one week. MCL sprain.
2017 seems like 20 years ago.
Are we turning into the Bills?
I know we didn’t make multiple Super Bowls but throughout the 2000s we consistently made the post season.
Wasn’t it bad draft picks and poor front office management that lead to the Bills being awful for 10+ seasons? Sounds like us right now.
We might as well call Wentz a bust at this point.
That's what Scheftar and such reported initial he'd miss the first couple of weeks so I was going by thatPer Dr. Chao (the "Pro Football Doc"), surgery right away still puts him out for likely the first 5 games.
Can't imagine the Colts wouldn't prefer him get the surgery. It puts the the issue behind him for sure (instead of "hoping" that rest works), they still have 12 games to play, and they get to keep their first round pick.
there's 17 games so he has to play the rest of the way 70% and colts make the playoffs. Given their division they should be in the playoff hunt all year and with Carson out most likely fighting for a playoff spot the rest of the year when he comes backSo a 2 it is
Before getting hurt Carson was a top 10 QB in the League and running away with the MVP. if it wasn't for Wentz's play in 2017 we don't make the SB. He wasn't a bust he broke down a lot but the Eagles didn't do enough to protect him either.2017 seems like 20 years ago.

Hone Vs Rams - I award 4.5 yikesFirst 5 games for the Colts are brutal.
Colts are going to be 1-4, 2-3 at best. That's a death sentence. A turnover prone qb coming back from a broken foot won't help them much. Tennessee runs away with that division and 2 teams won't come from the afc south.
Thanks for reinforcing my post. YikesHone Vs Rams - I award 4.5 yikes
AT Titans - I award this start 5 Yikes
AT Dolphins - I award this start 3 Yikes because it’s a road game. Otherwise 2.5
AT Ravens. - that’s a 5-yike game if I ever seen one.
Texans = 1 Yike
then 49ers - hard to say. New DC, Bosa is X% recovered? I’ll go 3.5 Yikes (again, half for road game)
That’s a 4.4 yikes average.
Yikes. ️
Had to check when I read your post.Thanks for reinforcing my post. Yikes
@BrandonGowton
Josh Sweat just flattened Andre Dillard into the ground. Eagles LT still having a lot of trouble anchoring against the bull rush.
Foles sucks now though. After what he said the other day if I was the league I'd drug test him.If Foles has to come to Colts to step in for fragile Carson again OMG.
After reading Fulgham’s comments that god we got rid of Doug.
So much for that Howie was telling Doug who to play rumorsWas just getting ready to post that. This alone was reason enough for firing not to mention all the other stuff.
Basically confirming the only reason he got benched was because it was Alshons job.

People will still say this was Howie telling Doug to play the guy he overpaid. I see it as Doug catering to veterans again.So much for that Howie was telling Doug who to play rumors
I did too never believed the Howie was telling Doug to play them. More Doug was a players coach who catered more to HIS GUYS Veteran wise.Insein said:People will still say this was Howie telling Doug to play the guy he overpaid. I see it as Doug catering to veterans again.

Sounds like Watson to Philly is gaining some serious steam and might happen soon.
Lots of conflicting reports out there. Many other sources reporting that talks are heating up. We also just cleared enough cap space to take on his contract so we'll see.Or not...

No trade imminent or developing at this time for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, according to league sources. While there is interest and teams are conducting extensive due diligence, complex legal situation, no-trade clause are all difficult factors to work through still.
It won't be for peanuts.Unless it's for peanuts, do not want the Watson headache. Both off the field and on the team.
Yea that's what I'm hearing. Don't understand the benefit from our side. We're taking on a disgruntled player to begin with who has major off the field issues that could see him miss up to half a year due to suspension either this year or next year. For taking on the PR circus and the fact that Houston is in a no win position with the player anyway, we should be giving 1 first at most.It won't be for peanuts.
ya I don't love the idea. This move could make or break Howie's legacy.Yea that's what I'm hearing. Don't understand the benefit from our side.

The PR circus could go away really quickly though, just like it did with Vick.Yea that's what I'm hearing. Don't understand the benefit from our side.

Yea I get the upside but that seems like 2 years away from seeing returns.The PR circus could go away really quickly though, just like it did with Vick.
I agree one 1st rounder should be enough given the situation, but I can certainly understand it from Roseman's point of view. Watson is the best young QB in the NFL after Mahomes, and would be the best QB the Eagles have had in at least 15 years(depending on your view of McNabb's peak) and arguably since peak Cunningham. If an elite QB can be acquired, Roseman likely buys himself 5+ years of job security.
What if he plays most of this year?Yea I get the upside but that seems like 2 years away from seeing returns.
There are more recent draft busts, near-busts, or injury cases at other position groups. At left tackle, 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard is in the process of losing his job to Australian behemoth Jordan Mailata. Center Landon Dickerson, this year's second-round pick, is still on the mend (not unexpectedly) from the ACL tear he suffered at the end of last season. Linebacker Davion Taylor, last year's third-round pick, left the field on Tuesday with a quad injury. Throw in the guys who aren't even around anymore (Sidney Jones, You Know Who) and the Eagles have very little to show on the field right now for the top three rounds of their drafts dating all the way back to 2014. There's Hurts, of course, running back Miles Sanders, sturdy guard Isaac Seumalo, defensive end Derek Barnett (having a strong camp), some prospects such as Dillard who are maxing out as just another guy, plus the 2020/2021 receivers. That's it. There's no young core, just a dusting of hopefuls atop a thick permafrost of aging veterans.
It's fashionable in Philly to blame Howie Roseman for the last half-decade of unproductive drafts. It's also fashionable to assume that Joe Douglas was a scouting wizard even though he had a heavy hand in all the drafts up to 2018. And to forget that Roseman ran the 2013 draft that brought Lane Johnson and Zach Ertz, and the 2012 draft that brought Fletcher Cox and others. Also, the Hurts selection looks rather shrewd at this precise moment in history. Roseman has made a variety of roster mistakes in recent years, but the Eagles have also suffered some miserable injury luck among their early draft picks. Successful as it was in 2017, the previous regime also didn't do a very good job developing young talent, either. At least some later-round picks from recent years have been impressive so far: Mailata, Watkins, defensive end Josh Sweat, and McPhearson, a rookie fourth-round pick from Texas Tech who gets an incredible break on the football and broke up multiple passes during my visit.
What's considered most? And if he does play this year but then has to sit 8 games next year, does that really help us?What if he plays most of this year?
We also could be clearing cap space for a Mailata and/or Sweat extensionLots of conflicting reports out there. Many other sources reporting that talks are heating up. We also just cleared enough cap space to take on his contract so we'll see.

I don't want him near the team at all. If he plays I won't even post what I hope happens as it could lead me to getting into timeout. That how hard I believe in this right now. It was hard enough rooting for Vick but a guy Sexually assaulting women? I'm sorry I might have to turn in my fan card.Unless it's for peanuts, do not want the Watson headache. Both off the field and on the team.
The only reason I see him playing this year or most of it is because I think this whole thing goes into next offseason too.What if he plays most of this year?

Been following this guy since the draft process started. The comparisons referencing Aaron Donald's athleticism perked my ears. Got him in several dynasty IDP and looking forward to his progress. Maybe....just maybe...we got us a good one here

Yes, I remember his seeming displeasure with the pick while others celebrated.Tom Donahue isn't going to fist bump you over it though.
Doug Pederson was at Bears camp today decked out in Bears gear. He spent his time talking with Andy Dalton, Justin Fields and Nick Foles.
