  • we all know Carson Wentz is struggling.

  • He's a gun slinger.

  • He's had interception problems.

  • He's had fumbling problems.

  • One of the greatest players in NFL history, the Hall of Famer was on first take yesterday and essentially said when the Eagles pared it down and said, We're going with whence over Falls.

  • Brett Farve says They were going in the wrong direction when they made that choice.

  • I get the the other side of the argument that you gotta make it work.

  • Uh, you know, I actually thought that they should have kept Nick Foles rather than Carson Wentz, just based off of production and where they got to, You know, they want to Super Bowl with foals, And, uh, that was a little bit surprising, but they're obviously banking on his upside.

  • Um, you know, how many more years do you?

  • You let it linger before you.

  • You stick with him when you cut bait.

  • That's a question they only can answer.

  • But I know Doug.

  • Of course, we were together for a long time.

  • He's a very simple coach.

  • He's gonna put you in the best possible opportunity to succeed.

  • He's not gonna complicate things, so I know it's not Doug.

  • Uh, I'm gonna ride in office.

  • Too many injuries right now.

  • They made the wrong call.

  • The guy that one there one and Onley Super Bowl in franchise history is the guy they should have kept did breath favor because I got a call him breath favor when he started talking.

  • What are you doing?

  • I'm saying draft.

  • Did he have copper fit over his head or something like that?

  • Like what the hell is going on with favor, man?

  • Listen, I hate when my my legends, my icons just Oh, my God, that's the worst take I ever heard.

  • Like, when has Nick Foles ever been a M v p candidate?

  • Never.

  • He's when he went down to the right, he went to the Rams with Jeff Fisher.

  • They cut him as soon as they could.

  • He lost his job.

  • Toe meant you mania, man, that wears cut off jeans and moose knuckle like What the hell are we talking about?

  • Are you kidding me?

  • Like every time he's had an opportunity to step up and be the guy he's shown us, that he's not the guy, right?

  • Like he's done.

  • And I said before like we were laughing about, like he's like red wine.

  • He's great in moderation.

  • You know what I'm saying?

  • Like he's a guy that you just wanna have bits and splashes of What is he doing in Chicago?

  • Nothing like you have to understand.

  • What's going on in Philadelphia now is that now the credit card bill is due.

  • J will, right?

  • They've been overspending next year.

  • There reportedly $64 million over the cap.

  • They got a team that has gotten old.

  • They had their window.

  • Their window came.

  • They won the Super Bowl.

  • It closed.

  • Now they got to tear it all down, just like they had to do in Seattle when they had to get rid of the Legion of Boom and go through Russell Wilson.

  • They have to do a restart.

  • It's not whence do you see.

  • He's under the rest, every single play.

  • He's running for his life.

  • He has the worst.

  • Offensive line was used to be a strength.

  • Jason Peters is great.

  • He's a Hall of Famer.

  • He's over the hill.

  • He's a guy that they brought in to play guard and they said he said, You know what?

  • I need some more cheese on my taco if you want me to slide out and played his left taco bro, and then he's not playing left tackle for a reason.

  • So he's out there doing Mawr with less, and he's out there fighting for his life.

  • But you can't compare the talent.

  • Nick Foles, Carson.

  • I agree with you.

  • I think it's a convenient take.

  • And but just here's what drives Philadelphia fans crazy ready, even though it is a convenient because as a fan, I don't know the intricacies of the game as well as you dio.

  • I may be informed with my team salary cap.

  • I may know that my old line is decimated.

  • I may be seeing him run for his life, but the same time just watching the way Nick Foles took us to a Super Bowl and how he want it right?

  • That's Philadelphia.

  • It's blue color.

  • It's gritty.

  • I've never been a superstar.

  • I've always had toe work my way, climb, grind up the ladder and to see the way it ended where Nick Foles, It's easy to think long term that hey, he could have been the guy that really epitomizes who we are as people, right?

  • It's never been the glitter.

  • The glam were never L a stellar Hollywood, but when you dig deep, it's actually not that easy.

  • It's not that convenient.

  • He's Brad Johnson.

  • He's Trent Dilfer.

  • He was just holding onto the damn stairwell, man.

  • He wasn't.

  • He drove it, though.

  • And you said, Drink that wine in moderation.

  • But look, I drink wine every night bar.

  • I drink it every night.

  • So look, when you drink that kind of wine and you see where that wind got you, you like the way that way.

  • But when you break it down, you go through it with a fine tooth comb.

  • Why were they able to be such a dominant team?

  • Why were they able to go through that for that run is because Carson Wentz was cheap and they were able to go out and get all these luxury pieces.

  • You know what I mean?

  • But at the end of the day, when you strip all the luxury pieces down now you get to see who you really are.

  • Nick Foles was there.

  • Listen, those it's like what?

  • It's like my the whole Batman thing, like you know, you either.

  • You either died a hero.

  • You stay around long enough to become the villain, and I think that Philadelphia is trying to make Carson Wentz the villain.

  • But Nick Foles died the hero, so he got out there out of town.

  • And then when it all falls apart and the Bill Belichick's up there, he might die that he might die.

  • The villain is, Well, that's Tom Brady got the hell out of out of town.

  • He gets to leave and died a hero.

  • It's a great analogy.

  • If you could go back, would you pay Carson Wentz the money again?

  • Yes, you have to like this guy was $100 million.

  • He was the M V P candidate.

  • And really, when you look at that contract now, it's really a discount, because look at what Dak Prescott is going to get just next year.

  • Well, that could be different, though, once we get back into what the cap can change due to fluctuation, with fans not being stands and things well.

  • But at the end of the day, like Dak Prescott, somebody's gonna get paid $40 million.

  • So Mark Jackson gonna get paid $40 million.

  • Carson went It's not nearly.

  • Yeah, I don't know what his cap number is, but he's got to be in the thirties.

  • That's a discount, right?

  • That's a $10 million a year difference.

  • And you got him young.

  • He's still young.

  • He should be able to play for another 15 years.

  • And I know he's always heard.

  • I know he plays reckless at times, but he's gonna be around for your rebuild.

  • So you you have to say, You know me, though, Is he gonna be around?

  • I'm starting to question that, not call the injuries that he's had.

  • Yeah, I'm not a conversation.

  • I'm sorry.

  • Good.

  • No, no.

  • If not Carson Winston who?

  • That's fair.

  • I mean, but look, I mean, you have to go on the market.

  • But that Z almost by default.

  • Not Carson Winston who?

  • Jalen hurts.

  • E didn't say Jalen hurts.

  • Probably it was a conversation.

  • E got the peanut gallery talking in my ear.

  • They're trying to get me trying to give me the answers.

  • Okay, here's two things we need to mention about once before we move on to some other quarterbacks and we figure out whether they got it wrong or right with our great NFL insider, Jeremy Fowler, on the way here in a couple minutes to talk.

  • Steelers and Cowboys hang tight for that number.

  • One.

  • Everybody truly believes that.

  • Carson Wentz.

  • When he got injured in the Super Bowl season, he got injured again in a game against the Los Angeles Rams.

  • He'd essentially played the bulk of the season, and that's the reason Eagles got the number one seed in the playoffs, allowing foals to come in and win.

  • So if you're gonna pay a guy, you essentially say, Look, yes, fools got us over the top, but we wouldn't even be in this position if it wasn't for Carson went.

  • So you have to think about him as a franchise signal caller from that standpoint, Last thing I would say This is why far have said what he said.

  • If you know I love the numbers.

  • Three Eagles records since winning the Super Bowl 12 11 and one since they got rid of Nick Foles and said We're going toe wince there 12, 11 and one and that is not where they expected to be.

  • So if that is one number that could back up what Farve is saying So Uh, yes, Bart is saying That's the worst take he's heard.

  • E.
