With Carson Wentz gone, Jalen Hurts steps up to the plate. But does the Front Office trust him as the franchise guy? McNabb. Vick. Foles. Bradford. Wentz. Hurts. For the sixth time in twelve years the Eagles will start the season with a new QB1. The franchise leads the NFL all-time in games started by black quarterbacks, and all signs …
EVERYBODY BREATH. Carson Wentz was traded, and the very same punditry that declared he was en route Chicago in exchange for Tarik Cohen, Nick Foles, and that giant reflective bean statue are now berating your Twitter timeline with more misinformation. Breath. As Eagles fans, we carry a civic duty — dare I say a divine right — to “angry react” …
Many have asked the timeless question: who is the greatest quarterback of all time? Is it Steve Young? Tom Brady? Drew Brees?

In 2010 a friend and I snuck into the Diamond Club at Citizens’ Bank Park during a Phillies-Reds game.

The BodyGuard has lined up in the trenches in midnight green for eleven seasons, being named …

After leaving football fans and experts in awe from his throttling offensive scheme in his first season as head coach, his success disintegrated while his ego grew until he was no longer in the league. However, as much damage as he did to the …
We’ve heard this story before – a team’s starter gets hurt in the preseason and goes down for the season. In the past, we’ve seen veterans such as Tony Romo, Jordy Nelson, and Sam Bradford all go down during a preseason game and lose their entire season to injury.

When Nate Sudfeld left the field after falling awkwardly on his wrist in the waning seconds of the first half, the entire Eagles fan base was sent into a frenzy.
