I don’t think he will. Wentz is seriously hurt for the 2nd time in his first three seasons. It doesn’t matter how good he is if he can’t get on the field.
Of course Foles wants to start. He was the Superbowl MVP last season. He was thinking about quitting when he was bouncing around as a backup for shitty teams, but that was a couple of years ago.
If you ask him if he wants to be the starter in Philly, with Carson Wentz sitting next to him, he’s going to say he just wants to help the team win. Of course he is. What’s he supposed to say? But he’s a Superbowl winning NFL quarterback. You don’t get to that level by being cool with sitting in on the bench, no matter what he says to the press.
The Eagles fucked up. Dallas got a first round pick for Amari Cooper. Imagine what the Eagles could have got for Carson Wentz?
