When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?

Last time I saw, he had Carson as top 10 QB bust of all time. I am happy if he took Carson of that list, as far as I am concerned Carson does not belong on that list. He had a great start with the Eagles that was cut short by injury, later he played with a squad that was not hungry , depleted with injury and did not share the same goals as he did. Then the team gave up on him and he sort of fizzled in Washington, I dont think he is a bust.
Was it ginger busts?

Lol you certainly have a way of framing things and projecting attitudes to justify negative outcomes for NDSU players.
The Eagles certainly had some issues but lets not pretend they were the Cleveland Browns or something. They won a Super Bowl while he was there and made it to another a couple years after he left.

Carson Wentz was a MVP ^^^ until week 16
and in 2019 Carson got Eagles to the Playoffs with this WR Corps: 4000 yard and 27 TDs he should be in the Hall of Fame on that accomplishment alone.

NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?![]()
I'm not going say I agree with the way others have framed anyone's career but there are some other factors than QB one can point to with eagles SB runs. When they won, their o-line was solid and one of best in NFL. Then they went into rebuild mode with o-line for a few years. Their SB return correlated with o-line play getting better.
There have only been a handful of QBs in the history of the league who have won with bad o-lines. There is a rich history of bad QBs who have won with good o-lines. Generally, and usually without exception, a QB is only as good as the line in front of them.
Hurts pretty much had the same stats line as Wentz until the o-line got better. The colts did no better with Ryan. Washington won a couple more games but statistically, Heinicke really wasn't any better QB. If their o-line is getting better, I would be inclined to have given Wentz another year because physically he still has way greater potential then Heinicke. This is where maybe he isn't clicking because of his personality. I don't know.
Certainly with his contract there are expectations but he isn't one of the handful of generational talents that can win without o-line support. Now his value is tied to that contract when there probably is the right situation for him to be successful. Draft busts are guys like Jamarcus Russell where no situation would be the right fit because he gained a ton of weight and wouldn't put in the time to prepare.
I think Wentz will get one more chance in his career and if it is on a team with a decent o-line, he will finish his career on a much better note than where it is at right now. I just don't think where it is at right now is 100% self-inflicted.
