Philadelphia Eagles debate table: Can Carson Wentz handle criticism?

If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan, there’s no more reason to debate this.

Okay, there’s been some debate. There have been moments where there has been some unfair criticism. At other times, maybe Philadelphia Eagles fans and some of the members have been overly critical. The voting booths are closed. We’re calling the race now. Forget all of the interceptions, the mechanics, and the bad decision making. That isn’t what this story is about. This story is about the fact that Carson Wentz needs to grow up.

According to reports (you must be an ESPN Plus subscriber to read the full story), Philly’s QB1 is reportedly upset over the Eagles’ decision to draft Jalen Hurts in the second round of 2019’s NFL Draft. Really? This is a story?

In 11’s defense, if you took a poll among Eagles fans, you might learn that there are a ton of Birds supporters that agree. Carolina Panthers star safety Jeremy Chinn was still available and on the board when Philadelphia was on the clock at 53. So was Tennessee Titans corner Kristian Fulton. Philly could have used him as well.

QB1 might be right. Sure, the Eagles had other needs, but Wentz’s issues with Hurts’ selection aren’t totally about getting him some help. They’re actually a sign of two other issues.
