at this point, do you think the Eagles regret paying him this massive deal?

As I said, I don't have to think anything.

Let me try to recreate this from the from the last block.

If it's authentic, it ain't no, that's right.

It is, Ah, fact that they do regret it, which is why they drafted a quarterback in the second round.

In this last draft, they could have moved up and grab CD Lamb, the best receiver in the draft.

They chose toe hold on to the second round pick to draft a quarterback, Howie Roseman, the G m of the Eagles.

And for those who would say, well, they need depth.

If they were really that worried about it, would they be splitting Carson Wentz out wide and using him as a blocker?

Look, the fact off the matter is, when you get paid 120 million, whatever you are paid to elevate your team, I don't wanna hear about injuries.

He makes one Patrick Mahomes level play a game.

He makes three or four other pretty good ones, and the rest are not good.

Even when you talk about the drops he threw late into the wrong shoulder, Sanders almost makes a play on the ball and you call that a drop.

Know whence has not been a franchise quarterback.

I would never, and I never do question his toughness.

He has a lot of great qualities you're looking for in a quarterback.

Of the league until he got hurt a couple of years ago.

What I saw at the end of last year when everyone was saying no, he's doing great was the same thing the Eagles front office saw, which is why they drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round.

If Jalen Hurts was showing them anything at practice, he would be getting a lot more reps on the actual field than he's getting.

He be getting more reps, By the way, How much worse could you do than one win?

I acknowledge all the great things Carson Wentz does, but it does not equal up to a franchise quarterback.

When you pay that guy you don't have the same resource is to surround them with the kind of team that you'd ideally like because you're relying on that guy to elevate you, and he's been unable to do so.

He's not the worst quarterback in the league.

Last year I said he's top 15 and I was told, No, he's top 10.

I bet you most people would take top 15 now, wouldn't they?

I don't have to say whether or not I think they regret their behavior.

The Eagles behavior tells me they completely disagree with you.

First of all, I think the reason they drafted Jalen Hurts and they drafted another quarterback, not because of the inefficiency of Carson Wentz.

It was because of the lack of durability on the part of Carson Wentz.

In 2017 if I remember correctly was 11 and two, he was a top M V P candidate.

He goes down 13 games into the season Nick Foles comes in saves the day we got all of that.

He's five and six as a starter gets hurt again.

They beat Chicago before they lose to New Orleans.

All right, then last year, what are you playing with?

It was an infirmary for crying out loud with all the injuries that they had, they required to Sean Jackson in the off season.

He's going to games into the season, plays a grand total of three games for the season.

Their former college quarterback that's playing wide receiver practice squad players playing wide receiver Now this year, all right.

He gets hurt in the damn first quarter of the playoff game against Seattle, which they lose, and then, naturally, they come in this year and we look at him this year.

Some of his decision makers highly questionable, not impressive.

It all on Lee complete 58% of his passes.

It's not impressive at all, but he's 27 man, he's 27 years of age.

I'm just saying he's 27 meaning that Guess what?

If you're the Philadelphia Eagles, you pay them because of what you saw him.

Now you've taken a step back, so we've got to get you to take a step forward.

You got quarterbacks in this league in their late thirties and obviously early forties that's producing.

And because the brothers stinking up the joint for these three games, we're gonna sit up there and give up on them.

He's got more than a decade in his career left.

That's why you've been so disappointed in the max because you've seen him ball in the past.

So all I'm saying is now you've got a situation.

Everywhere you turn, there's a bunch of injuries.

There's no question about it, but you got to take all of those things into consideration.

Combined with his youth and the skill he's already shown us, he's had.

The Eagles are saying, Oh, Dan, we regret it.

I'm looking at The Eagles are saying We got to get this right.
