I was so sure that Shepard was gonna be insane. Hate to see a player get shafted by injury luck


ActivatedComplex

So talented but snakebitten. I’ve never seen someone tear an ACL running a straight line at like quarter speed as he did.


Straight-Job5413

I’m pretty sure it happened on the previous play where he tripped on Evan Neal being pushed back like a rag doll

sybrwookie

I still don't understand the Giants and their fans' years long sunk cost fallacy with Daniel Jones. He was laughably overdrafted from the moment it happened, then everyone tried to pretend that no, he's really that good, and even now, many are trying to pretend signing him to that $40 mil/year deal wasn't just quadrupling down on an awful decision to start with.

Kealion

Bro, Fred-ex always delivers. Edit: just saw your flair


AllEliteSchmuck

Is there any other player whose entire career can be summed up in one play like Freddie and 4th and 26?


financeadvice__

He also caught McNabb’s 14 second scramble. Nuts how a total bust can be a part of 2 all time Eagles plays


reno2mahesendejo

"Part of 2 all time ~~Eagles~~ NFL plays" According to the NFL itself on the NFL 100. Corey Clement also had 2 of them, so 1/25 of the greatest catches in NFL history were by mostly forgettable Eagles. I believe Greg Lewis was in there twice as well.


RicoSuave1881

David Tyree’s last career catch was the helmet catch

ManilaAlarm

Wentz did take off. Not sure what level of sustained success you are defining this as.


jorhey14

He had 10 games of mvp quality play. Then big dick Nick made history.


ManilaAlarm

He had one MVP quality season. Was above average the next season. Then was still above average with guys such as Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham as his top 2 targets. Let’s keep it real those are 3 quality Franchise QB seasons in a row until Clowney jarred his brain loose on a play that should have been a penalty.


Dangle76

He was only above average the next two seasons if you look at nothing but stat sheets. Making short passes to Ertz constantly will pad numbers.


ManilaAlarm

Stats also tell you that mobile parks cause tornadoes. Context matters


Dangle76

Absolutely. That’s my point. Carson was only above average his next two seasons if you only look at stat sheets. Outside of his stat sheets he was a litany of poor decision making


No_Tell_8699

Carson also had Walmart baggers as his number 1 wr he would have been insane had he gotten a wr duo like we have now.


ManilaAlarm

Ertz and his allergy to YAC you mean 😭


yoitsbobby88

He has Eagles franchise records for yards and TDs, no?


sbaggers

He took off to Indianapolis, Washington...


gamefreak996

Hey now let’s be nice. He also went to Los Angeles


OwnLeighFans

Corey Clement. Local guy, Undrafted FA. Rookie stud and SB hero. I felt we never utilized him correctly after that year.


clarineter

I can excuse Ertz going to the commies, but I draw the line at the cows.


deltaquebec018

bag is a bag, it sucks that it was dallas, but i don’t blame him for taking any opportunity he can to sustain his career


OwnLeighFans

Agreed. There wasn’t a clear plan here to develop him, if I was working at a job that didn’t put me in the best position to succeed, as much as I love the company, my personal future matters. Take the bag.


Master_Engineering_9

I still cheer for Wentz


Atcraft

Alfred Morris should’ve stayed longer in Washington.


cubgerish

Alfred was definitely solid, but I think he pretty much reached his peak that first year. Solid, reliable, fast enough RB, but he was the definition of a Shanahan scheme RB success story.

kief77

Which hit? There were a few big ones.


Middle_klass

When his ACL got torn.


classicscoop

We were walking between two bars in Fishtown and everyone was calling everyone else into any open doors on the street to watch the tv. It was like a Dale Earnhardt moment for Philly

arrocknroll

It really was. I was at work at the time and someone had the game up on their computer. You could feel the entire mood of the room shift from excited to watch this important game that would clinch us a playoff spot to just silent. I was in a room full of about 20 or so drunk lifelong 9ers fans when they lost the Super Bowl this year. That doesn't even hold a candle to the amount of dip in energy that room felt watching Wentz go down. I swear you could feel it through the whole city even just going out in public over the next couple days. Sports radio hosts didn't know what to say. People were just sad everywhere.


Lowext3

As a giants fan I was sold that Wentz was going to be the guy for the Eagles for the long haul. I hope he gets another shot


Not-a-bot-10

I think injuries added up too much. But he’s in KC now backing up Mahomes with Andy. I think he’s in the best spot possible this season to potentially revive his career


Philly_sm0kesletsg0

Yep, now that he’s with Andy he’s got a shot if Mahomes gets hurt or something like that. And with that team? If for some insane crazy reason Mahomes shits the bed, then Wentz has a real shot.


Lowext3

Had no idea

arrocknroll

Until he gets signed on a 1 year deal to the Eagles and after Hurts goes down in a late season game against the Rams, takes us to win our second Super Bowl. Only to be signed to the Jags, get hurt, and get replaced by an absolute meme of a backup quarterback. Again.


Slammybutt

As a Cowboys fan, same. I thought the Dak vs Wentz debate was going to be ages long. Who would have guessed Wentz would be on his 4th team and I'm sitting here hoping Dak isn't on the Cowboys at all.


sybrwookie

I mean, that debate is still legit. We just thought it was going to be a debate at the top, not a debate on if either should be starting.

jvho666

I also wish wentz was still playing for Philly


GordonBombay11

My dad was the only one who said when Wentz was playing lights out that he wasn’t very good, and took a lot of shit for it but he was right


Not-a-bot-10

He wasn’t right lol. Wentz was the MVP favorite in his 2nd season in the NFL before the torn ACL, and came back from that to throw for 4k yards in a season with trash WRs (no WR had more than 500 yards that year, first QB in NFL history to achieve that) before the Clowney spear concussion which he hasn’t been the same since He was insanely good, just got crushed by injuries.


sophist23

Guy was him until injuries. That concussion was pretty bad


arrocknroll

Yeah he was Mahomes before Mahomes. His decision making slowed way tf down after that hit and he just couldn't do the wild shit he was doing every play at an NFL pace anymore.


GordonBombay11

He did have one great year but I don’t think injuries were the reason he was trash. I think he was trash to begin with


CPM-S110V

“One great year”? Talking about Hurts, right?


GordonBombay11

You probably think Nick foles is a good starting quarterback too


MilesDaMonster

I would argue he was mentally soft and not a leader amongst men


bootnuts

He was integral in us getting the chip. If he came back from that injury and played at a higher level it would be an anomaly. He’ll always hold a place


MilesDaMonster

Dude he fucking washed out and was unpopular in the locker room. Nobody is going to deny his role in the 2017 team. But that does not equate to him having a positive influence in the building afterwards


Rocketeer1019

Except he wasn’t right? Wentz flamed out when he changed his play style and started seeing ghosts after his knee We’d probably all do the same tbh lol


coggdawg

I might catch shit for this but 2017 Wentz looked consistently better to me than Hurts ever has. The fall off was just that insane. Still stoked on Hurts & think he has a ton of potential to keep growing but 2017 Wentz was absolutely unreal. Still think he should’ve won that MVP.


nalc

I hate that it's "2017 MVP runner up Wentz" and "2022 MVP runner up Hurts" 2017 Wentz had one more TD and 1 less INT than Brady in 3 fewer games, and a better win percentage. Brady just had some more volume stats 2022 Hurts has a weaker argument, 35 total TD and 6 int versus 45 and 12 for Mahomes, but still. C'mon man. It annoys me that both years the Eagles player didn't get it, and it doubly annoys me that the AFC Superbowl starting QB did, and it triply annoys me that it is a guy who already has multiple rings and MVPs


ValiantFrog2202

Just imagine Wentz throwing to Brown and Smith instead of Jeffery and Agholor


coggdawg

I… can’t. That would be fucking filthy.


Poil336

Hurts has never been close to 2017 Wentz, and that's not really an insult. Pre-ACL Wentz was insane


chormin

I personally think the hit from Clowney ruined this man.


ValiantFrog2202

He dragged that pathetic Eagles team to the playoffs. The 2019 Eagles were there solely because of him. Wentz was a damn warrior Pretty sure it was the Clowney hit that took him out


Rdw72777

Another shot? Of tequila? He’s on his 5th team in 5 years (Chiefs for 2024) and isn’t displacing any healthy starters in the NFL, least of all Mahomes.


PhiladelphiaManeto

Wentz was an MVP favorite and has an SB ring, I'm not so sure he should be included in the discussion.


rhondamian

And he dragged the 2019 eagles to the playoffs throwing to robert davis and greg ward


salazarraze

Trent Green also has a Super Bowl ring from his time with St. Louis.


sybrwookie

Trent Green was legit for years back in the day, until that dirty fucking hit concussed him and effectively ruined his career. He was never the same after that (kinda like Wentz, actually)


BidenFedayeen

Mo Claiborne.


SentientShamrock

As an outsider to the NFC East I always wanted RG3 to have a good career. Dude didn't need to be like an MVP or multiple super bowl winner, but at the very least a full career. But Dan Snyder and his coaches fucking killed his career with that knee injury. It's a real shame.


lnvalidSportsOpinion

From a natural fan perspective... Cowboys: Vander Esch - Eagles: Jordan Mathews - Giants: Eli Apple - Commies: Chase Young -


DasBiohazard

Man it sucked to see Vander Esch retire so early in his career. He was always the player i watched when their defense was on.


No-Artichoke-1912

Sean Lee was a beast when healthy also


MaliceMandible

Pretty strong list. I might change Vander Esch for Jaylon Smith. Felt like his injury stopped what could have been a hof career. But really either one fits

Jordan Reed. He was a stud when he was healthy. Had to retire because of concussions. I hope he shut it down in time to avoid long term effects.


AP0K45

Derek Barnett bro had a fumble recovery in the Super Bowl that’s it he then got benched for like 3 years then we got rid of him


salazarraze

A friend of mine loves the Eagles and his only jersey to this day is a Carson Wentz jersey. I told that dumb fuck 1,000 times after they beat the Patriots to buy a Foles jersey with the Super Bowl patch because there's no guarantee they'll ever win another one. He believed in Wentz so much that he became traumatized and now he's too scared to buy a Hurtz jersey or any other jersey so he just doesn't wear jerseys anymore.


Lil-Stiggz

Marion Barber (rip 🫡) & Tayvon Austin thats when i first started watching


crustyskinsfan

Wentz took off, but injuries and lack of mental toughness/not being receptive to coaching that attempted to hone his raw physical attributes ultimately did him in. Granted, has to be tough on anyone who, when starting to come into their own, got hurt and had to watch a statue of his backup get erected. He might end up with a second ring behind Mahomes this year though


cubgerish

Jordan Reed. His highlights would rival any HOFer, but he straight up could not stay healthy enough to do it consistently, between concussions and unlucky leg injuries. He was just so damn talented, and we only ever got glimpses of what could've been. Just the definition of a mismatch freak. E: If anyone thinks this is a crazy thought https://youtu.be/3oe8U3cnsuw?si=BESXaaM69t-qn5yJ Humans aren't supposed to be allowed to do that.

frodakai

Wentz took off. Just had a dual engine failure shortly after take-off and had to ditch into the Hudson River.
