Eagles receiving calls about Carson Wentz

I am not against trading for Wentz if the price is right. The rest of his contract would put him in the $25-26 million range for the remainder of his career and his salary is only guaranteed for 2021 and it looks like his 2022 salary is partially guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2021 league year. So, if he is a bum he'd be relatively easy to cut. 

Pretty reminiscent of Cam in terms of positives and negatives. Ultra-high top end, major injury concerns and generally a polarizing QB to fans. You have to obviously be concerned with how bad he was this past season. Does he really just need a change of scenery or has he just lost "it." That's the thing about Cam, as bad as he got in the end, it was more about injuries than seeming to lose his command of the offense on the field. Wentz just didn't even look like he belonged in the league this past year. 

Super high risk, super high reward trade. Not sure I'd push a bunch of chips into the pot for that. Also not sure he fits what Rhule is supposedly looking for in players, either.

The thing about Wentz is that he never controlled the locker room. There are multiple articles out there stating that he played the game selfishly and wasn’t a team player. Tbh I don’t think he brings the leadership and poise to the locker room that you need from the position.

I rather have Wentz than Stafford. If the top 4 QBs are gone I wouldn’t mind going after Wentz. He’s only a year removed from carrying a horrible supporting cast to the playoffs 

Nah. Stafford is a much better QB and less injury prone. The top end of Wentz may be a little higher but Stafford has produced for years. Wentz hasn't.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
