Things we want to see from the rest of the Eagles’ 2020 season

Unfortunately, there are still five games remaining in this highly unwatchable 2020 Philadelphia Eagles season. Since we’re a bunch of sickos who’ll be watching anyway, Jimmy Kempski and I talked about what we’d like to see down the stretch during the latest BGN Radio podcast.

CARSON WENTZ BENCHED

There have already been multiple BGN articles dedicated to this topic so I’m not going to rehash everything here. What I will say is that if you’re a Wentz detractor, I think you should actually be happy with him continuing to play. Because he’s clearly not getting any better. Sitting him might actually help. I mean, it certainly couldn’t worsen things at this point. This is just a broken quarterback who can’t make the simplest of throws:

In addition to Wentz deserving to be benched, the Eagles need to get some kind of idea what the have in Jalen Hurts. That’s important information to gather before potentially being in position to take a quarterback high in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Enough with this half-measure stuff where Hurts comes in for a couple plays. Give him an entire week to prepare for a game as a starter and see how he handles it. Benching Wentz doesn’t have to mean his career in Philly is over. The Eagles can turn back to him if/when Hurts really struggles.

PLAY THE YOUNG GUYS MORE

Hurts obviously falls into this category. But beyond him, let’s never see Alshon Jeffery getting snaps at the expense of Travis Fuglham ever again. Let’s see Quez Watkins at least activated for games. Let’s see K’Von Wallace used as more than just a special teams contributor. Let’s see Genard Avery (yes, seriously) actually get some defensive snaps instead of relying on a 32-year-old Vinny Curry who won’t be here in the future. Let’s see if Jason Huntley and/or Elijah Holyfield have anything to offer in the backfield.

Jimmy and I also talked about moving on from Howie Roseman ASAP, Doug Pederson giving up play-calling duties, and much more.
