-
it was a downpour.
-
Can we stop over reacting to the fact that he didn't have his best stuff on Sunday?
-
Who the heck would under those conditions?
-
It was pouring rain.
-
It was an impossible circumstance.
-
And it's not all about Carson Wentz.
-
The problems around him are very evident.
-
The offensive line is leaky, as can be no pun intended with the rain, and the receivers really aren't that great to begin with.
-
So I think they got a lot of things to tighten up their quarterbacks.
-
The one piece that I still do trust.
-
All right, that's well done.
-
But the reality of it, Jeff, is that yes, the problem with Carson Wentz has never been that we don't see the spectacular place.
-
You see the spectacular stuff.
-
It's the huge mistakes that kill him and kill his team sometimes.
-
Jeff, what are you seeing?
-
Yeah, he can't anticipate any throw.
-
And listen.
-
You could talk about all the quarterback factors you want.
-
Anticipations.
-
Gotta be top on your list more than arm strength.
-
More than athleticism.
-
Because if you can't anticipate there, you can't throw guys open.
-
And I love the tape that Greg just put together.
-
But let me help you with offensive line.
-
The offensive line has not played well, but 32 off the 40 sacks that have come on Carson Wentz have been after four seconds, Greg.
-
Four seconds, brother.
-
You can't block much.
-
That means you're not anticipating a throw.
-
Dude, I don't care if it's raining or not.
-
Can I see that the guys run out the flat?
-
I don't wanna double pump and then throw it so the guy can take it in Pick six.
-
That's got nothing to do with the offensive line.
-
And listen, I'm not trying to say that there's other areas, other areas, the football team that need to be fixed.
-
But Carson Wentz is, ah, $100 million man.
-
If he is part of your problem on the Eagles, that that has to be the last problem.
-
I mean, are you kidding me?
-
Like you've given him all the money?
-
He can't be part of the problem, and he is his anticipation.
-
His hesitation is absolutely killing this offense.
-
And again, you're holding the ball that long.
-
That means you don't know where to go with it.
-
So either he and Doug need to get together or they gotta make a change.
-
Something's gotta give, because at this point, it's not getting better.
-
You're literally watching a sinking ship because of all the rain.
-
Greg, your wife.
-
Okay, that's very well played to to sort of put a ribbon on the conversation I mentioned.
-
And Dan, I used the line from you that to escape from this if the Eagles wanted to and we don't know that they do would be like escaping from Alcatraz.
-
Dan Graziano.
-
Tell everyone why he's got $30 million coming this year.
-
He's got a fully guaranteed $25.4 million coming next year.
-
As of this coming March 4 months from now, a $15 million roster bonus for 2022 becomes fully guaranteed.
-
If they cut in this year, it's gonna be a $60 million dead.
-
Cap it if they cut him in the 2022 off season.
-
It's a $40 million dead cap hit.
-
They are stuck with Carson Wentz.
-
They have to get it fixed because, frankly, that is a lot of money to pay a guy to not play for you.
-
And it's also a lot of money.
-
Greg McElroy to play pay a guy that can't play in the rain Way way could put the show on the Weather Channel.
-
We had so much rain conversation right?
-
As we continue, we're talking about another quarterback.
-
We will tell you why the Dolphins made a very big mistake and it had nothing to do with Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
