From Carson Wentz's scouting report -

WEAKNESSES When rolling out, will float it a little too much when taking shots down the field. Allows passing windows to close quickly when he short* arms his release. Needs a little more consistency on anticipatory throws outside the hash. Will get caught locking in on target bringing secondary charging in to make a play on the ball. Inconsistent footwork from the pocket. Arm gets ahead of his feet even with time to come to balance. Needs to pick up pace of his post-*snap setup. Has to put a little extra air on his field-*side throws. Can be a little flat with his downfield, touch throws. Has to eliminate the occasional nonchalant throw into tight quarters. Doesn't look comfortable yet with bootleg rollouts to the left. Broke a bone in his throwing wrist in October sidelining him for eight weeks. Dealt with arm and shoulder injuries as a baseball player in high school. Lower level of competition could cause issues for him adapting to NFL speed.

At least he didn't have a DUI in the scouting report.

For having literally no preseason and among the most anemic offensive weapons in the league, during a full fledged rebuild, I'd say he's doing pretty well.
Can't wait to see what he can do when...if...he has some legit scoring threats on the team.

He was under the legal limit and he was exonerated of those charges. Can't be mad about those charges though, they're part of the reason we were able to land a franchise QB with a compensatory 4th round pick.

And one Eagles rookie RB fumble away from having two losses.
Pretty neat how that works, right!

Won't talk about the other top pick, and his ongoing investigation.

You leave Wendell Smallwood alone!

He was a red flag guy, that we snagged in the 4th or 5th. I'm hoping Douggie takes the next for games to give him a load of carries. See what he can do.
Goodbye fumble machine/injury prone Ryan Matthews. That will save $3m next season.

If you had gotten Murray to work out you would've been fine, he's playing like a top 3 NFL back again just 1 year after that record-setting season he had in Dallas.

Chip Kelly ran out of town like half of the Eagles 10 best players lol

Murray, obviously needs stud OL or he's garbage. The afore mentioned Ryan Matthews ran behind that same line last season and had no problems.
Plus Murray is playing in one of the worst defensive divisions in football, let alone the overall worst division. Lol!
Murray is a crybaby. Hope he's still with Tenn in 2 years when we play them.

Nah. Been over this.
McCoy was not going to be paid almost $12mil. Sorry wasn't going to happen.
MeSean, well, the name says it all.
Maclin we tried but KC had more to spend
Mathis, that was a crime letting him go, but he got his ring so good for him. Now he's basically done.

Chip Kelly doesn't know how to coach at the NFL level. His up-tempo offense kills his defenses and his "treat players like children" schtick doesn't work on NFL players. He'd be better off with the Ducks.

I've heard it from more than one person this year about Tennessee and Oakland's OLs. I kinda believe it about Oakland's, not so sure on Tennessee's but I haven't really seen them play this year. Still think Dallas has the best but obviously I'm biased.

I'm surprised he didn't go back to college. I also have no clue what the 49ers front office is doing.

Who said top 5?
But I'll play: https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...ring-week-11/#
Of course that doesn't include the week12 contest which Tenn won, or week 11 which they lost.

I believe he will get better, these current WRs can't catch that football, maybe in next years draft pick up some WRs, a RB and see what they can do.

Rookie HC, rookie QB, and no viable offensive skill position players outside of an ageless Sproles(who is playing with a cracked rib)...heck yeah.
I would be quite happy if they drafted heavy on OL and CB. Solidify those two postitions and maybe the WR/RB/TE get a little better.
Also just take away the collective team gun that they constantly use to shoot themselves in the foot(3rd & long on both offense and defense anyone ) and they should net and additional 2-3 wins.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jackson is back with the Eagles next season.
