Man I hope Carson stays

Eagles owner Jeff Lurie on Carson Wentz after letting Doug Pederson go

“We have an asset and we have a talent. He's a great guy and he wants nothing but to win big and win Lombardi Trophies for Philadelphia. This guy is tireless. He has his heart in the right place and he's really dedicated off-season, on-season – he's just what you want. It behooves us as a team with a new coach, a new coaching staff, to be able to really get him back to that elite progression where he was capable of, and at the same time, understand that there have been many quarterbacks in their fourth and fifth year … if you trace this, you can come up with many, many quarterbacks that have a single year where it's just, whoa, the touchdown-to-interception ratio is not what you want. And we're talking some great ones, like Peyton [Manning] and Ben [Roethlisberger] and guys like that.

So I take sort of a more, probably a longer view of this was not the best season for our offense, it was a poor season, and we also had a poor season from Carson in terms of what he's been able to show in the past. Very fixable and I fully expect him to realize his potential”
