You just heard Keyshawn saying that Carson hasn't lived up to the hype.

He doesn't think he'll finish his career as a Philadelphia eagle is key.

Overreacting.

You know the expression preaching to the choir, right?

He's preaching to the preacher.

We talk about ovary, I've been I've been saying this.

By the way.

What's amazing to me is we have a network full of analysts who know way more about football than I do.

I'm talking to one of them right now, right ever had on the shoulder pads, let alone evaluated talent with my job on the line.

Not just my opinion, but I have to be right or wrong.

And that effects my bottom line, like Luis Riddick has and so many others.

And yet it was obvious to me in the second half of last season, as I was hearing people starting to trip is he is Carson Wentz, on the outskirts of the M V P conversation.

Carson once was no good at the end.

The last year I saw shocking regression.

I saw him get healthy.

His record quarterback record get healthy on one of the worst divisions in the history of football the NFC East last season, and I saw him do it against opposing quarterbacks who were either back ups or they were awful.

And every single other quarterback in the NFC East, that terrible division with terrible quarterbacks did better against the other terrible quarter pets than Carson Wentz did.

Look it up.

So yes, so last season I was like, Wait, wait, wait.

Whence is no good.

Orlowski and I would argue about this all the time, right?

And then in the off season, what happened the offseason?

Howie Roseman on the front office, saw the same thing I did.

So they drafted a quarterback in the second round, and I've heard a lot of tap dancing around this.

And, boy, people have really gone through verbal, you know, mental gymnastics to figure out a reason.

And I'm told they want depth at the quarterback position.

Why that?

That the quarterback you could find that in the offseason during the season from veteran backups to be fine depth in the quarterback?

Well, the best time to draft a quarterback is when you don't need them.

Sure, if you're quarterbacks 32 33 maybe even 35.

Nobody's 26 27 doesn't make any sense.

No, they drafted hurts.

Instead of packaging the pick and moving up for a better receiver CD Lamb, who everyone knew was the best receiver in the draft.

Or they thought Cowboys got him.

They did it because they saw what I saw in Carson Wentz.

Hey, makes one Patrick Mahomes level.

Throw a game.

He has amazing upside talent.

He makes three or four other good throws, and the rest is questionable decision making and poor execution.

You know, I'm so sick.

He has turned the ball over 13 times in Eagles territory 13 times, and I even brought up McNabb.

Lewis.

I brought up McNabb.

In the past, many times, McNabb had seasons with less toe work with than Carson Wentz and went deep into the playoffs.

Look, my my suggestion.

Is this a this point for the Eagles?

They got to sit him down if they don't sit Carson Wentz down, making all these irresponsible decisions with the ball, trying to play the hero, really refusing to run the offense the way Peterson wants.

He's not being accountable to the team, and, by the way, that once worked with McNabb to McNabb once got benched in the middle of the season and then led the Eagles, his team, the Eagles, to the NFC Championship Game.

All right, Carson Wentz Lewis is not the worst quarterback in football, although his quarterback rating is lower than his opponent in every single contest this year.

But his upside keeps him from being in like the worst quarter.

He's like in the middle of the pack because of his upside.

No better than that.

And he has an onerous contract that limits what the Eagles can do.

And he's paid that money to lift the team, as McNabb once did.

I agree with Kesha Lewis.

I have a question for you quickly here.

Is this more talent or mental with Carson at this point?

Because I don't understand why he's fallen off to this level.

Yeah, it's more.

It's more mental.

Mali.

There's nothing wrong with him.

Physically.

There's nothing wrong with his talent level.

There's nothing wrong with his arm.

Is nothing wrong with his legs.

He can do everything that you need need a quarterback to dio, but here's the Here's the problem with Carson is that he has become a flash player.

And my motto has always been this players who flash and then you wind up putting too much investment into them.

They wind up getting you fired.

So he has to stop being the flash.

And he has to be more consistent.

Back down the hero ball, please, and just be mawr consistent with it.

And stop trying to think because of the fact that you see that your offensive line has been decimated, you are getting put under siege from the get go, right?

A soon as you drop back.

So when you look out on the perimeter, all of your primary weapons are gone.

Your number one receiver at tight end is gone.

Dallas God, it was gone.

You're running back.

Situation is up and down in terms of availability.

And when you look at all that, stop thinking that you now have to then put on a cape and start doing things that that are that are just that run counter intuitive to what Doug Peterson is telling you in the meeting room and on the practice field.

Just let the offense work for you.

But he is not doing that right now, so that is a problem, and obviously it manifests itself in some of the inconsistent play that we see on the football field.

I mean, there's no way of getting around that, But But they did not draft Jalen hurts this year.

So at some point this year, they were going to sit down Carson Wentz and think that Jalen Hurts was gonna give them something that Carson couldn't give them.

I'm just telling you, I just do not see that outside of injury.

I do not see that happening.

So I tell you this, given the playoff race that they're in.

And it's funny to say that given how poor the NFC East has been, if you put Jalen Hurts in there right now with the supporting cast that they have given the limited amount of development development that this young man has been able to have given with this offseason has presented all of us and presented the NFL in particular.

They have no shot, none.

It's not gonna work that way.

And I'll tell you this.

Also the reason why they drafted a quarterback.

Look, I understand.

Look, they drafted a quarterback in the second round.

You don't draft a quarterback in the second round.

According to you, Max, unless you think that he is going to be the long term answer and that Howie Roseman saw the writing on the wall.

I don't know what Howie Roseman saw on the wall, but I'll tell you this.

I don't believe that they drafted him because they thought at some point in time, we are starting to like Our confidence in Carson is declining, and we think he is going to be the franchise quarterback.

I don't see that being the case at all, and I don't think anyone else in the NFL had had Jalen as much as I respect him, evaluated or rather valued as a high second round pick.

I just don't see that as having been the case, and furthermore, they probably should have invested in more weaponry around him.

That being Carson Wentz with that second round pick and third of all, as far as wide receivers were concerned, you said that CD Land was the best wide receiver in the draft.

Well, I mean that you can argue that there was many other wide receivers in this draft who were very good.
