well. in some ways he’s was more prepared than goff. came from a pro style offense.
And I don;t think that will matter.
Wentz won’t be ready. They will scale things back for him…but on top of that, by starting him they are accepting losing a lot. They made their choice…when they had a chance to go with a vet qb to win now, they traded it off for a future pick and went with the rookie.
Rams won’t start Goff till he’s ready. They prefer to win now.
Eagles sacrificed that because in terms of the future, they like the pick and will live with starting the rookie.
Eagles are in a better position to do that because it’s Pederson’s first year.
IMO it would be hard for Fisher to look veteran players he has known for a few years now in the eye and say “we’ll sacrifice this year for the sake of the rookie.” They worked, they built, they’re ready to win.
Pederson on the other hand can say “I don’t even know if you will be on my team next year, so, go play and yes with a rookie.”
