Is Carson Wentz salvageable?

Carson Wentz can’t be fixed in 2020.

This much we know. He might not even take another snap with the Philadelphia Eagles this season since he’s been benched for Jalen Hurts.

But can Wentz be salvaged beyond this year? What exactly does the future hold for him?

Jimmy Kempski and I debated and discussed as much in the latest BGN Radio podcast episode. You can [CLICK HERE TO LISTEN] or stream the latest episode below:

The feeling here is that it’s naive to assume bringing in a new coach and general manager automatically fixes Wentz. It’s possible that that could be the case. And it very might be how the Eagles choose to proceed.

But it’s not a given. Sure, he’ll likely be better than he was this season. That’s not really saying much, though,. What if he recovers but only to the level of being mediocre at best? What if his well-documented stubbornness prevents him from being ideal franchise quarterback to build around?

Show highlights include ...
