The Eagles are on BYE this week so he went back home to N.Dakota to ......go bowhunting where he harvested his first buck!
See story.
Eagles defense is better. But you have a stud rookie too. Probably time you jettison that perpetual IR QB you have.
Remember a guy named Nick Foles? 27 TD'S- 2 interceptions and a the all-time NFL record for TD's in one game (7) his first year.
I can't forget. I will wait for a larger sample with Wence as the Eagles have left me in tatters all my life with the new Messiah.
He looks good no doubt but if he continues to take foolish unnecessary hits it will not matter how good his mechanics may be.
Don't forget this defense has been playing lights out and over their heads. Hope its real though.

He sure looks like the real McCoy, we'll see how good he is when we can look back on a couple years of play. And he hunts too.
Ya know, theres been a lot of ball players in the past here that were bowhunters

Yeah, I remember Foles. I liked him but he wasn't mobile. In this league, you gotta be mobile and Wentz is.
He is humble and smart. Shows up everyday at 5:30 AM to watch film much like Peyton Manning who some are comparing him to.
He's had some miserable opponents with the Bears and Browns and the D knocked out the Steelers but he has thrown over 100 passes w/o and interception....an NFL rookie record. Plus he's a bowhunter and loves the Lord.
Go Eagles!
The Browns, being the Browns, showed us AGAIN why they consistently suck when they traded draft choices with the Eagles instead of taking Wentz.
The Rams, of course, are starting the great and amazing Case Keenum. Yeah, who?
I speak with Ike Reese on occasion and his opinion is basically the same as mine own. "Looks real but we will see because we have seen this before".
You do not have to be mobile in this league to succeed at QB IMO. You can extend plays. Advantage? Absolutely.
Tom Brady and Peyton Manning two of the best ever would also disagree.
I hope for my sake you are right. Again, I am awaiting a larger sample of blitzing defenses and Champ Bailey type defenders who place the FS free to roam without tipping their hands.

Agreed on all counts. It will be telling when he faces adversity .... how will he handle it?
The defense is key to ensuring the pressure stays at a manageable level for the offense. Also, when the Lane suspension kicks in, that may upset the apple cart.
Ike seems like a likable enough guy. Good source and decent player in the day.
The eagles certainly look like they made the right decision and there are a lot of examples that it is never a sure thing.
The Vikings play them shortly and that will be a good test to see if he (or the Viking defense) is the real deal.
Any defense that can man up makes it tough on any QB even a mobile one because they can crowd the box negating the QB's legs. We will see.
