It better all work for Wilson this coming season. Fortunately his Denver contract is the gift that keeps on giving. Even with a good season, if he and his agent think they're gonna go into contract negotiations with a "Gods' gift to quarterbacks" attitude, (considering he's already, what? 36 years old?), then they might have another think comin', with either of two pretty good ones waiting in the wings.
 
In Philly, KP may get his chance and find out he fits right in with the Eagles game plans. Remember, Hurt gets hurt now and again because he was the second leading rusher on the team with over 600yds. Philly lost 5 of their last 6 last season, and though Hurt had a lot of yards and TDs, he also had 15 ints. The Eagles seem to have at least a half dozen plays that specifically call for the QB to run, particularly on plays that read pass all the way but nobody is open. KP just may be OK with that. Running QBs do get hurt. Baltimore is another example. Jackson runs like a rabbit but he's been banged up and out more than a few times. There's all kinds of wheelin' & dealin' & tradin' goin' on and the draft hasn't even started.

Feilds definitely underachieved in Chicago, compared to his pedigree. Let him marinate and maybe he can raise his level to the expectations the Bears had for him in '21?

Can be said of about 3/4 of first round QBs. Or you can say reach/bust/whatever. If they are your hopeful future QB, they are underachievers. If they underachieved for your team, then they are a bust. Remember Mitch Trubisky was a cant miss pedigree QB, but now a bust for multiple teams.

Hopefully he is really fine with sitting behind Wilson. Those guys are ultra competitive. He has been a star his whole life, that is what he knows. I can’t imagine in private he is all that fine not being a starter. Hopefully teams/media don’t leak how he is handling things in private or will have the same effect that it did for KP.

I wonder how long of leash Tomlin will give Wilson....me thinks there gonna wanna see Fields if they stumble out of the gates at 1-3 or 2-5...
 
Eagles also fired the OC....new sheriff in town, Kellen Moore. Eagles also signed Barkley....go back to the Moore offense in Dallas with Dak...will be similar in Philly, imo. The limited Dak runs and fed Zeke and Pollard. I would guess they will limit Hurts running. Eagles have a great WR corp to pass too. Will be interesting to see if the tush push is still effective without Kelce.

That said, I wonder if they were already debating adding Fields regardless? KP is likely third string if the case. If so, then going to Philly to be #2 would be the right move. Hurts was struggling a bit at the end of the season. Not nearly enough to have his job threatened, but if next season starts like this one ended for Philly, who knows.


Clipboard Kenny will be in the UFL by this time next year, if that. jus say'IN..

Or perhaps he will be in playoffs oe even the super bowl next year with eagles kind of like the others who were released from steelers.Better chance pickett will be in one of those scenarios befor russ and the gang just sayin

I’m with Ice on this. KP will likely be wearing a headset if it happens. Eagles still in a better position for SB run. At least right now. Draft and rest of FA will hopefully swing that a bit more in Stillers favor. But the simple fact they are in NFC alone puts odds in their favor. They won’t see KC or Baltimore in route to SB. SF is tough, but not KC or Ravens. Stillers are still in the toughest division, which reduces odds of upper playoff seed. Hard not to like the direction they are going though. If they were to make a SB run this year, it wouldn’t be as nearly as surprising if they made that run after first few games of last season. After preseason it looked like a possibility, but shows what preseason means.

These Stillers articles lately in cutting Wilson are just crazy. These “sports reporters” seem to write about anything. Of course if Fields significantly outplays him, why not cut him if he won’t be a backup? They are reporting as if it is happening already. Let them play and see what happens. Like this is helping the whole locker room dynamics of the team. Same thing they did with Mitch/Kenny/Mason the last two years. Let the guys battle it out and stop with the speculation bs. It is already hard enough to be a successful NFL qb on the field, why make it harder for them off of the field with this? I can see if playing like garbage. This whole planting the seeds of controversy are unreal. I know freedom of press, guys can write what they want, but if this is their local team, why do it?

At least one writer thinks that Wilson could be gone after training camp. Maybe he thinks by that time the Steelers will have gotten their $1.2 million out of him.
But like PSU said, "what if he stumbles out of the gate" and they're stickin' Fields in quickly, then they're gonna need another good #2. Maybe they could trade with the Titans! I heard Tennessee has a pretty good backup. LOL!!
