A rookie quarterback from a small school who misses most of the preseason with injury is in line to start the season as an NFL teams' number one QB. Not really sure what to think about that, but Pederson's got some serious cojones.

They had a chance to go with a vet and win games, or take the #1 pick and start a rookie (the majority of time starting a rookie qb means you;re not counting on winning). He's a first year head coach so he gets a free pass for that.

So it was simple.

Play with the veteran and win more now.

Take the high pick and start the rookie.

I don't know which choice I would have made. You can make a case for either one.

.

The Eagle fans will probably prefer to lose more games with Wentz showing flashes of greatness at times than winning more games with Bradford.

Plus they get the extra pick to bolster the roster next year.

But yeah, they ain't winning anything this year. They will be a easy out for contending teams. I wish we were playing them this year.
