  • This has been a roller coaster for Carson Wentz, not just this season he's dealt with injury.

  • We're talking about this guy's an M V p potentially A couple years ago.

  • Rex, do you think this is the right decision for the Eagles?

  • No, I don't, Sam.

  • I mean, you just talked about it there three years ago.

  • This this guy was would have won the M v p had he stayed healthy.

  • And you bring in a non offensive guru and a quarterback.

  • You know, guy that did a great job with, uh, with Justin Herbert with the Chargers.

  • So it's like, Man, I was excited to see it more talked about it.

  • I thought his fundamentals were the thing that I was concerned with.

  • Like, you could get that with coaching.

  • You can get that fixed.

  • This guy Ah, young franchise type quarterback.

  • You just don't find I spent 30 years coaching.

  • I never had a franchise type quarterback.

  • And you're just gonna let him walk out the door and I get it?

  • Yes, he struggled mightily last year, but I thought it was more fundamental than a poor offensive line is more talked about than it was anything else.

  • And you know, this isn't this coach Select coaching selection, and Sirianni is supposed tobe before Christ's head scratcher about it, We'll bring it.

  • Go and hire Nick Sirianni.

  • It's basically like your hiring, uh, Frank Reich Junior Carson Wentz, his favorite coach of all time, is probably Frank Reich.

  • So you go higher, Syriani.

  • It's basically the closest thing you can get to what he wants.

  • So you're thinking you're repairing the relationship.

  • Otherwise, why wouldn't you keep your Super Bowl winning head coach and Doug Peterson?

  • I get it.

  • There's other issues.

  • I think the only thing that really makes sense to me is what you just said Sam about.

  • Hey, wait a second.

  • Matthew Stafford went for what?

  • Like what we have.

  • Jalen hurts.

  • We actually liked what we saw to him.

  • And if we can get a king's ransom for this trade, Listen, I was this whole this whole off season, I've said there's no way Carson Wentz is going anywhere.

  • There's no way he's going anywhere.

  • I would be shocked, but when the Adams says it, Mort says it, you know it's gonna happen.

  • So I'm sitting here like this makes no sense and now you're gonna lose Went and you're gonna lose Doug Peterson.

  • I'll just say this.

  • The pressure will be on Philly because of this.

  • In my mind, this is a risky move losing both of those.

  • Yeah, and last year, let's face it, because you mentioned Morton Adam last year.

  • I'm like, there's no way in.

  • Heck, Tom Brady's going anywhere and he's he's gonna lead his team to a Super Bowl.

  • I just thought it was gonna be the Patriots, not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they were right, and we've seen some crazy things.

  • Can I say one thing?

  • Race sequence, though, is that there are so many coaches around the league who really believe like I know Carson Wentz struggled last year, but they look at him.

  • They've seen his previous tape, and they believe in themselves so much as a coach.

  • You mentioned it, Rex.

  • They believe, Hey, you know, with what I know, and with his talent and his if he's coachable, I could get him back on track.

  • And so therefore, I could see a team giving up more than you might expect because Frank Reich would be one of those guys.

  • I bet Chicago might feel that way if Drew Brees retires.

  • New Orleans might feel that way.

  • There are teams out there that feel confident that they could get back on track.

  • Who says from what happened in Philadelphia, I thought it was a competition thing.

  • There might be some things behind closed doors with that, we may not know, but who says that this young Carson Wentz can't goto Another organization may be hobbled by injury, that there's another concern, or or another.

  • Ah, competition question of another team, I think for me looking at Carson Wentz in the Philadelphia Eagles, I thought he put the coach.

  • Peterson was put in a bind because when you seen Jalen Herbs uh, coming at quarterback, you seem the team uplifted toe to the next level.

  • So when Carson wins started this A.

  • I want out of town.

  • I want out of town me as a player, looking from the outside looking, and I said, What?

  • You don't want to compete for your job, and that's what I'm looking at.

  • So if Carson Wentz is able to go to another team, hey, there's a backup quarterback and there's a third string quarterback to Hey, he could be hobbled by injury.

  • Backup quarterback to come in.

  • Now we're doing this back over.

  • So I think from an emotional standpoint, whoever gets Carson Wentz needs to bring him back down and just let him know a man.

  • This is the National Football League.

  • This is a business, and you're gonna have to go out there, compete for your job sooner or later.

  • Sam, you started this discussion asking Rex if the Eagles were making the right decision.

  • I don't think it's the Eagles choice.

  • I don't think it's the organizational choice anymore.

  • When it comes to the quarterback, I kind of disagree.

  • I know.

  • But if the quarterbacks one out, they can get out, there just is being proved right.

  • Stafford wants out.

  • Alright, Uh, when Scots out dish on all of these guys because that's the one place where you don't want discontent.

  • As an organization, you don't want it at the quarterback position because you can play hardball.

  • You can miss any future offseason thing if we have them any o.

  • T.

  • A s any minicamps, you can play hardball and then you'll put pressure toe where the players were like, what are we doing?

  • He wants him out.

  • Get him out of here.

  • Can we move on these air?

  • The positions They have been players.

  • Jalen Ramsey, high profile cornerback.

  • They have.

  • They're starting to show players.

  • There's more power.

  • If you want out, you can do it if you do it right.

  • I think part of the reason that the players feel that they have more powers, they're making more money than they've ever made.

  • So some of these guys, if they do have their bank accounts full, they're They're sitting in a place of more of, you know, more power.

  • Like more leverage, if you will.

  • I agree.

  • I think it is trending that way.

  • It is very new, though.

  • We haven't seen it at that position.

  • We've seen it in other positions.

  • We haven't yet.

  • Maybe maybe the tide is turning.

  • It is gonna be wild to see.

  • I didn't know they mentioned Chicago.

  • If he ends up reunited with Nick Foles in Chicago, maybe they're just trying to get Super Bowl vibe.

  • But would it make sense, like in that scenario, just hypothetically, if he got traded to Chicago, would wouldn't Philly want Nick Foles back?

  • I mean, the guy.

  • I think the statues out there yeah, I would go back way.

  • Wouldn't have a choice.

  • I mean, I think Nick Sirianni is a guy like we mentioned Frank Rag Junior.

  • He's kind of in that family like there are quality coaches out there.

  • I mean, sometimes you just need a fresh start.

  • You mean I can't even remember with?

  • I had a good relationship with Mike Holmgren, but there were times where he was the play caller.

  • I was on the quarterback and we weren't necessarily on like speaking terms.

  • And what was the result of that very bad quarterback play way like we pieced that together back e just tryingto win Teddy, but it's about the trying to win.

  • The crazy thing is, if he is traded, that means from that 2016 draft class, the number one overall pick and Jared Goff and number two overall pick in Carson Wentz.

  • Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

This has been a roller coaster for Carson Wentz, not just this season he's dealt with injury.
