Wentz looks good, but this hype will backfire.

Carson Wentz can't throw deep

I don't think anybody is saying he lacks the arm to throw deep, RG3 had a fairly strong arm too, just that the Eagles seem to be limiting the offense as deep throws are probably the most likely to turn into mistakes for a young player. It's probably the smart move.

But they are dialing up the deep balls, at least a couple a game. The Eagles WRs keep dropping them though, despite Wentz laying them in there about as well as you could ask for. I think that is affecting his stats and making people think he's throwing only short stuff.
 
didn't Ben beat the undefeated Pats x Eagles in back to back weeks too?
He ended like a 20+ game winning steak for the Pats and we stomped the fuck out of the Eagles. Like 28-0.

Ben got to rest in a few of the 4th quarters that year.

Weirdly Parcells said he reminded him of Marino, which is the last qb I would compare him to.

The stats that squicken and others are bringing up includes attempts, not just completions.

4 lowest QB ratings in the NFL. I've covered 3 of them as Texans QBs, recently.

Osweiler 72.2
Gabbert 68.6
Keenum 66.2
Fitzpatrick 59.3

Bortles is next on the list at 75.0

This whole Twitter exchange made me cry and laugh :(

Which stat is that? squicken posted a throwing chart which doesn't even seem all that accurate since it doesn't include the throw I had in the gif; a 41-yard bomb to DGB in the end zone that he dropped.

They've dominated every game thus far with the short and intermediate passing game. So why exactly do we have to force balls deep downfield?
 
The Patriots are already tight with their 53-man roster so there's really no room, especially since they already have a traditional fullback, but I would love to see Marcel Reece on the team. He's a fun, versatile player that Belichick could do intriguing things with.

who the fuck said they did? Jesus stop being so defensive about your ginger. Did you miss the part where I said it's a smart gameplan? And that it doesn't necessarily mean he lacks the ability to throw it deep?

Except they aren't limiting the offense to protect him. He's taken his fair share of down the field shots. We just haven't had the chance to see him take many risks like that and play from behind.

Ninja only likes the bad boys! Don't listen to him.

Carson is a gun-slinging holy man!
 
The short passing criticism isn't necessarily invalid. There will be times when the team is behind and he needs to sling it. That hasn't been tested and is indeed a mystery. Mixing in long throws is different from being in the position where you HAVE to throw them.
 
Americans have a tough decision tonight. Watch the Presidential debate or watch Americas game, Monday Night Football. I think I'll use Picture in Picture with sound on the debate and the game muted in the corner.
 
Which defense will be worst tonight...its a dice roll.Saints defense limited the Giants to 9 points last Sunday,but they are unable to stop a passing game.Falcons defense is a little better but if Drew Brees has all the time to pass,he will be hard to contain.The Falcons concede 126 yards on the ground per game so don't forget Mark Ingram...

My Local newspaper pick,Saints.
