If the two were anywhere near equal, yes. Wentz is a good young QB who if he can stay healthy looks like he will be a top 5 or top 10 QB for years to come. Foles is more a spare part that played his opportunity into a Markie Mark movie script...

Good post but top 3 would have been more accurate :)

I actually wouldn't be opposed if Wentz missed the first 4 games. Given the schedule we'd probably be favored to go 4-0 anyways.

The guy is 25 and a superstar

Based on what, exactly? To get to that status you have to be able to win tough games in the playoffs.

probably would have won MVP in his 2nd season as a pro.

I can't disagree with that, the kid looked good.

Huge difference in ability between the two.

Can't argue with that, either. Except gutting it out to win in the playoffs trumps ability.


My point is, in my humble yet learned and sophisticated opinion, that the team buys into Foles, and that Wentz and coaching staff need to establish clearly why he's displacing Foles at this point.

I don't see it.

What if u got 2-2

I'd be disappointed, but fine with that. If it meant Wentz got another month of rehab. That would take us getting upset, which certainly could happen, but we'll be favored every game.

Who is this Wentz guy? Foles looked great in the Super Bowl. Is he coming back? We all need a Brady beater like Nick Foles. Makes me warm and fuzzy all over.

Just as the casual fan knows... every player on that team knows who the better player is. But even if the gap wasn’t so large Wentz will still get the nod cause we can’t afford Foles after this year.

First Eagles game is Atlanta and that one is going to be tough regardless of who starts. Second is Bucs and is pretty winnable with Foles, considering that Winston will be out. I think a 1-1 start is realistic, and 2-0 still quite possible.


0-2 is also quite possible. Have you watched any pre-season?

Eli manning, Joe Flacco, Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson all had a good season once. Just sayin

But, but, but, Colin Cowherd called him a Masaratti

I didn't want to go there. We've already seen the Philly fans back pedaling. Can't wait to watch this crash and burn:pop2:

So you’re guaranteeing Wentz crashes and burns? Can’t wait to watch your trolling we he doesn’t.

Lets see.


Trade multiple picks for Wentz, or have Zeke and Dak.


No numbnuts I'm good with the TWO we have.

That’s not what I said. You know you wish you had Wentz on your team.
