If we could trade Teddy for Wentz and we get a couple picks behind it that we can use to package up with #8 and move up, this is an absolute no brainer

We're not in a position to take on a $25m a year salary and eat the cap hit of trading Bridgewater.

We're struggling to resign Moton as it is.

Nope.

If we are going to roll the dice on a 28 year old mediocre QB, why trade for one when we already have that on the roster. 
 

Wentz, Jimmy G, Trubisky, Winston, Carr..... all are in the same boat for us. None move the needle anymore than Teddy.
 

Judging by our aggressiveness, it’s either moving up in the draft to get our QB on a rookie deal or emptying the cupboards for Watson.

How exactly is he a much better QB? Cause he puts up a ton of garbage time numbers? Or when he beats terrible teams?

Wentz has an inexcusably bad 2020 season, but outside of that he’s clearly better than Stafford. You put Stafford in that 2019 Eagles team and they don’t win 5 games much less make the playoffs.

I mean, I can't help you see talent and ability. Not within my powers. There is a reason we wanted him badly and many other teams inquired.

That is a confusing list of QB's to equate to Teddy. Bridgewater is a backup QB while some of those guys you mentioned are NFL starters.

Yep I see talent one guy has led his team to the playoffs numerous times while being an mvp favorite, the other guy not so much

I remember watching a game of his a couple years back and thinking "this guy is gonna be the best quarterback in the league".

Hasn't turned out that way since.

Same...I told a buddy of mine who is a Eagles fan...you guys got a good one...wish we had that!!  That was before his injury..and the rest has been history

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
