Carson Wentz

[Bison bison]

To be the man you have to beat the man.

Is he supposed to be happy about the fact that the team he was hired to lead traded away 4 picks that could help him win for a guy who's going to compete against him instead?

On top of that, the guy brought in to compete will be given his job at some point. He's basically trying out for a new employer...I'd be mad too.

There are 32 teams drafting players who will compete against current NFL players for playing time. Many of the draftee's are products of their team's respective trades. It happens every draft and will happen again in the next draft.

Bradford acts as though he was caught unaware that there was a draft every year and he may have to compete for playing time at his position. He has every advantage over a drafted quarterback. Experience with the playbook and verbiage. Experience with teammates strength and weaknesses. Familiarity with the organization and city. There is no reason he should not be able to hold his starting job against a college qb. Unless that college qb is actually just more talented.

On top of it all, he just received a fat, guaranteed contract and has been assured by coaches and management that he is the starting qb. Sometimes in life, you need to just shut up and do your job. Unfortunately for Bradford, he hasn't figured that out.

Why would he give back a signing bonus? Charity? I believe that the next team would not be on the hook for that at all.

To give the Eagles an incentive to trade him.

Thanks to Bisonville, I'm listening to 97.5 outa Philly. They seem pretty pumped.... calling Carson "The Kid."

The Eagles can eat his signing bonus. He can eat his signing bonus. His next team can eat his signing bonus. Or the most realistic option a little of all three. Bottom line, IMO, the Eagles aren't going to eat the whole bonus right now without getting a very attractive pick. If he's really serious about moving on agree to give back a chunk of the bonus and he's now more movable. We'll see how that plays out. Just like Kaep demanding a trade is all fun until you have to come to the table and start giving money back.

Or you know, do your fucking job so you don't get replaced?

opening lead in to Sirius XM blitz was the 2015 NC play call by Scotty Miller when Carson ran the ball in

But your employer just went out of their way to make your job harder by trading away 4 picks that could help you do it for 1 that won't. If you're in his seat you're thinking. "WTF. You just gave me $13 million a year and 6 weeks later you're cutting the legs out from under me?" Whether he should be saying that kind of thing publicly or not is a problem, but it's not hard to see why he's upset.

Was going to reply to Audits initial reply to my post and figured I should read ahead a bit and noticed a lot of similar comments to what I'm thinking. Sam needs to trust the staff and be confident that they are doing what is best for the team, be a professional about it, go out and compete with whomever they bring in and I think that'll make him a better QB when it's all said and done. I just don't like hearing about a guy that wants to bail when things aren't going his way.

The Philly station tracked Carson down at the airport... their guy was gushing. Based on the talk, they're going to be very disappointed if Carson goes to LA.
