That was about the only thing that wasn’t good. “It was just that, as we looked at the offer and what it could do for our football team going forward, we felt like it was in the best interest of our team (to do it)”. This makes Wentz the first rookie quarterback in Eagles history to start in the team’s season opener.

Last season, Cleveland’s defense ranked 30th in the National Football League against the run and 27th in yards per attempt allowed, and a big reason why is their three-man front.
The first-round pick they acquire in the 2017 draft could now end up being a gold mine for the Browns. He is practicing with the first unit this week.
“Things changed around here pretty quickly”. I knew I was taking the mental reps being out the last couple of weeks.
“I go off the belief. where you want to go in with the plays you’ve been repping all offseason and training camp. I really do”, Jackson said.
Fun fact: The Eagles host the Browns on Sunday in the regular-season opener, though Pederson doesn’t think Wentz will use the snub by Cleveland as extra motivation.
“The trade happened”, Pederson said. This decision comes shortly after the Eagles traded veteran quarterback Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings. It’s something that we believe in.
“We didn’t draft Carson Wentz because we didn’t think it was the right fit for our team at this time”, Jackson said. Would an ideal situation be later than sooner?
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – That chip Carson Wentz says he has on his shoulder has nothing to do with being snubbed by the Cleveland Browns. “So all the pieces are here for him to be successful and for us to win some games”. Maybe Wentz never reaches his potential but Chase Daniel turns into Doug Flutie. They have done a great job of bringing him along. So mentally, he’s there.
Ironically, back in 1999, Pederson was that stopgap quarterback that Daniel could have been this season.
Whether the Eagles make the playoffs this season, this was the right move to make. Miller, who was intoxicated at the time, attacked the son and his 70-year-old father, who came to his son’s defense, police said. There are six days remaining until the season officially starts. “It’s something that we believe in”. I can’t wait till Wednesday (the next practice). On Sunday we’ll get our first look at whether Wentz was worth it. Wentz did not sound as if he felt he needed to prove anything to those teammates to engender confidence, and a popular refrain from many teammates Monday was support for Wentz. Wentz, meanwhile, will start for the Eagles in Week 1 against Cleveland.
There have been teams that succeeded behind rookie quarterbacks – Atlanta with Matt Ryan and Baltimore with Joe Flacco in 2008, Indianapolis with Andrew Luck and Seattle with Russell Wilson in 2012, to name a few – but I just don’t see it with the Eagles.
“If I were Chase, I’d be disappointed”, Pederson said. Carson shouldn’t have to feel like the team is going to live and die by his play. If his rib injury allowed him to play in week one, he would become the starter.

It was just announced that Carson Wentz would be the Eagles starter week 1. And that’s what you want, you want guys to not do a lot of thinking on the football field, just go react and play. I’ll just take them in stride.
