Greg Ward, wide receiver

Maybe the Eagles are a tad stubborn. Maybe they don’t want to be wrong. Maybe Carson Walch was one of the top-five worse hires of the past decade. Maybe it was all of those things, but here’s what can be stated definitively.

JJ Arcega-Whiteside may not be as bad as we thought. D.K. Metcalf would have probably struggled here too if he had a coach like Walch, and there’s no excuse for hanging on to Mack Hollins when everyone knew in the preseason that Greg Ward was better. Ward was the best receiver Carson Wentz had in 2019. Think about that.

Carson Wentz, quarterback

He’s answered the questions about his toughness, his leadership ability, and his ability to play this game at a high level. Now, if you don’t know that Carson Wentz is elite, you need to stop contributing to discussions about football, regardless of whether or not you have a major platform or 19 followers on Instagram and Twitter.
