4. player. 54. . . . QB1 and QB3 maybe?

You know what? Though none of us liked the idea of Philly taking a quarterback in the second round of the most recent draft, we’ve all decided to make the most of it, or at least we should have by now. What’s done is done.

Jalen Hurts was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy a season ago, and with all of those offensive minds and consultants that the Eagles have, they’re going to find ways to get him on the field sooner rather than later. You can take that to the bank. Don’t be surprised if he eventually overtakes Nate Sudfeld on the depth chart, and don’t be surprised if we see newer versions of the “Philly Special” in 2020. If you think about it long enough, you might be able to convince yourself that this wasn’t a terrible idea.

Let’s move on to QB1.

By now, if you don’t see the talent of Carson Wentz, there’s really no need for you to offer your opinion when people are discussing anything football related. You’ve seen him piece together an MVP-worthy season. You’ve heard all of the conversations about him leading the team to the playoffs with reserves and guys from the practice squad. You’ve seen the stats concerning his touchdown to interception ratio and where that puts him historically among present and former signal-callers.

You’ve seen Wentz play with a broken bone in his back in 2018 and silence the doubters one year later. If you don’t want to give him his due, just ask yourself a question. Would Philly have made the playoffs without him?
