Herree's Carson! Does $22 Million Sam Ride Pine? You Decide.

 

•   Carson Wentz, the North Dakota State Bison turned Philadelphia Eagle, has now donned the Midnight Green (and Red since QB's in practice are not to be touched) and the talk of him overtaking Sam "Sammy Sleeves" Bradford did not take long, but what do you think?   

•  I remember writing an article a couple months ago where I exclaimed that the Eagles and Sam Bradford deal was a "I repeat, A TEAM FRIENDLY DEAL" and now looking back, so much has changed.  Was it a team friendly deal? Yes.  Was there another legitimate QB option at the time? No.  But I also did not know at the time Sammy was taking his ball and going home when the news broke that the Eagles were trading up in the draft for #2 and eyeing one of the two QB's, which obviously the Eagles ended up Carson "Ginger Jesus" Wentz.  

• Long story short, Sam Bradford and his mouth piece agent Tom Condon thought that they had a chance to land a trade to Denver and it didn't happen, so now the essentially 1-year $22 Million dollar man-child Bradford and his goofy after practice flip flops has returned as the potential starter.

• As the world turns, after two Voluntary OTA workouts for the team, Carson has impressed while taking chances down the field and showing a great deal of effort.  On the other hand, Sam Bradford has continued in his ways of being Captain Checkdown while being...well, Sam Bradford.  The Eagles believe in Carson, the fans believe in Carosn, and Carson believes in Carson while Sam doesn't even believe in himself.  

• I originally thought, this Sam/Carson situation is a good one, you know, Sam busts his butt trying to prove himself elevating his game and Carson learns behind him and takes over if-and-when Sam goes down.  Eagles then would still be competitive, Browns would not get a great first round pick next year because the Eagles are not awful, and Carson would walk into a winner next year.  Now you'd be hard pressed to tell me otherwise that Carson learning under the tutelage of many former NFL QB's now Eagles coaches, along with a much improved Offensive Line shouldn't start the season and start his career as the man while Bradford draws contently in his coloring book on the sidelines and makes $22 Million dollars.  

• Eagles fans, who do you want under center opening day at home against the Browns?
