It is not. Wentz needs to be benched but it is clear they won't do it.

Didn't he just say he wasn't benching Wentz?

He cant bench Wentz. if he did it would end his coaching job in 2021.
As soon as you bench your high priced QB, that will tell management you guys are starting over.
If you are starting over you would(should) also start over with your coaching staff. Pederson is a smart guy. He wont bench Wentz.

Hell even when you had Foles save your last good season. You had to fake a Wentz Injury to do it. *Schmoop looks around for a lurking PE1*

Few more sacks like the ones he took yesterday and he will be replaced due to injury. I am shocked he hasn't gotten hurt yet given all the hits he has taken.

Teams know they have a better chance at winning with Wentz in the game, so they are sacking him gingerly.

Does it really matter, one way or the other at this point? This coaching staff will get shown the door either right after week 17 or if they make the play-offs, immediately after they lose at home in the W.C.

What an absolutely nonsensical post.

something you do on a regular basis.
where do you think Fulgham ranks with league WR's this week?

Me: "HOLD OLD ARE YOU?"
Jalen Hurts: "I'm 22, Mr. Shark."
Me: "Mother fucka ya look 30."

What an absolutely nonsensical post.

I think he is probably right unfortunately.

Stay on topic, goober.

He isn't right at all. You can bench Wentz a drive or the second half of a game he is stinking it up in and go back to him the next week or the following drive.

It's doable and long overdue.

Well, watching Pederson's press conference Wednesday, it is pretty clear that Douggie has no idea what he's doing.He mumbled and stumbled and hemmed and hawed about whether or not to bench Carson. It was ridiculous to watch.
It's very possible he's seriously contemplating making the move. At any rate, I think Peferson's days as HC of the Eagles are numbered.

They are in a no-win situation. They are completely tied down with Carson's contract.

Along with Schwartz and Howie hopefully.
