#3. Figure out the QB situation

Look, I’m a fairly big Carson Wentz supporter, and I still firmly believe he is the Eagles best option at quarterback moving forward, but I’m fully open to the idea of committing to Jalen Hurts if that’s the direction the team wants to go. Wentz has obviously struggled big time here in 2020, and Hurts is on a much cheaper contract for the next four seasons.

With that said, the Philadelphia Eagles as an organization need to make a freakin’ decision. The current set-up of having Hurts play 2-3 snaps a game as a glorified running back clearly isn’t working, and the controversy that his presence is causing in the media has undoubtedly played a role in Wentz’ struggles this year.

I firmly believe that the two before mentioned steps would be enough to get Wentz back on track, and see him return to his franchise QB form that he’s held the last few years. However, like I just stated, I’m open to the idea of switching up the position if the organization wants to go full rebuild mode.

Whatever conclusion the (hopefully) new front office comes to, they simply need to come to one. Both Hurts and Wentz hold some semblance of trade value on the open market, and both of them would likely benefit from being on a team that is 100% committed to them.
