Anyone else?

Did anyone else think Frank should have tried Sam in the game in the second half ?

No

Lol pretty sure nearly everyone in the fanbase knew that if Wentz was going to have a bad game, we were going to lose.  No back up rookie could've saved that showing Sunday

I think Sam would have performed the same against a stacked box and poor oline play.

Jags might have recorded double digit sacks with Sam in the game.

Nah but if Wentz looks bad next year and the Colts are looking rough midway through the season then there would be no harm in rolling with him.  We’ll see how he looks in the preseason also.

I don't think so.  We were in a playoff game scenario.  And if they did that in the middle of the game, they would have signaled to him that they had lost all confidence in him.  Philadelphia 2.0.  Now, they really may have lost confidence in him.  But you're not going to broadcast that to him in the middle of the game, and expect the possibility of his return the following season.

NO

There’s not a QB in the NFL that could’ve performed worse then Wentz did on Sunday. I actually believe that but benching him was out of the question 

[Four2itus]

No

I don’t get the love affair with Sam.  I mean I want him to do well but he’s a rookie sixth round pick who hasn’t played a meaningful down in the NFL and couldn’t beat out Eason in the pre-season for the back up job.  I think the ceiling for Sam is as a back up QB, which isn’t nothing, but I don’t think he’s the next Tom Brady in waiting or anything.

[bleed blue4life]

you are missing my point here. if its not working try something different . never know is all I am saying

He did beat out Eason, that's why Eason was released the moment Sam was able to come off IR

Eason got released because he came in and stunk against the Rams.  Eason started the last pre-season game and had out played Sam to that point in the pre-season.  Eason was going to be the back up and then came out and made two just horrible passes vs the Rams and they went in a different direction.

I thought Wentz should've been pulled at half-time in the Raiders game. He was missing wide open players.

No. Things were bad enough the way they were.

Don't you wonder 'why' so many of our quarterbacks stink? Maybe we have an endemic problem that has nothing to do with the quarterbacks?

[PRnum1]

Yes.  With 3:08 left in the 3rd quarter we were losing 23-3.

 

What did we have to lose ?

[Dingus McGirt]

Interesting that by dropping the last two…Sirianni got an even better draft pick from his former bosses.

Not having a veteran backup is the reason he was not.  You would have thought Ballard would have learned that lesson by now.  Instead he goes with a 6th round rookie.  Dumb.

He played like 3 snaps against the Rams...

And threw two extremely awful picks

Well yeah. Just saying it’s not like he played an entire game.

I know but he was so bad in the little he played he was demoted from back up after the game.  Remember they were going to use Hundley the following week and not easy had Caron not been able to play.

 

Reich even talked about it being a hard message for Eason to take.
