All of them - I said he broke his ribs, which he did and your HC confirmed, that's not just sore ribs. The guy's a little injury prone, there's no shame in that, just have to take precautions - like drafting a backup QB in the 2nd round.
I predict Jalen Hurts will be Eagles starting QB

He should start, wentz is always hurt
They won’t get rid of him, hurts is cheap insurance policy. Can you blame them?
I'll just leave the injury stuff because clearly we don't agree
But there's no way giving a QB 30+ mil a year when he's in his prime and then using a 2nd round pick on another QB is a smart move. Especially when they have holes they need to fill elsewhere
It's like a guy who has to walk to work , selling a new car to get slightly better house insurance.
Im fine with them thinking they need a capable back up, but it's a waste of resources when you go about it like that

I predict the Eagles drafting very early in the draft next season if this is the case.
QBs that can play in the NFL at a starter's level are very, very rare and VERY expensive on the open market. You basically can't afford to pay two starting caliber QBs with the cap setup the way it is.
If you need a guy that can come in to play cheaply, the only way to do it is to draft one. What the Eagles did makes total sense.
I'm rooting for Hurts. After all it's about time for a breh to be back under center for the Eagles
I feel like the Eagles have had more starting black QBs than any other franchise.
They didnt draft him to play though. That's the problem
Going back from when Pederson came in, they've consistently said their goal is to have a top 10 QB as a back up. They have this dumb mindset that they're like a College program that needs to be churning out QBs
That's why I said this isn't about Wentz. It's about them thinking their philosophy is right
Their best linebacker is a 4th or 5th round safety convert who missed 30% of his attempted tackles. The 2nd round pick wasn't about need. It's them thinking they're smarter than everybody
Wentz is always hurt, hurts is there to play 4-5 games a year
Of course it's about Wentz
You think they wanna comb the high school football ranks to find a QB again when Wentz gets dinged up and has to miss time? Hurts is raw but he's got skill. They hope they don't have to use him but they don't wanna play Josh fukking McCown in a playoff game ever again
Mcnabb/Peete/Cunningham/Vick... black QBs get love in Philly
OK well I know what im talking about and follow the Eagles religiously. You're just guessing. I know what they've been continuously saying. Its not about Wentz. Its about getting a QB they think they can turn into better assets laterOf course it's about Wentz

There's a far better chance that hurts is moved for a pick in the next few years than there is hurts starting important games. Nate Sudfeld would start an important game before Hurts would right now
pretty much the reason why they drafted him they said.
they can get him much cheaper than the average price of an NFL backup QB.
