You kid, but...

It would be sort of interesting to find out what you could get for Wentz. As someone already said, Wentz's style of play makes you just a little nervous he could be injury prone... and yet his performance this season makes him insanely valuable. Say the Eagles do win the SB with a strong performance from Foles... you could gamble that he is enough to keep you plenty competitive next season, and see if, say Cleveland would give up both those firsts this year and maybe one next year for Wentz, and throw in a 2 or 3 besides. Or what would the Jets, who have never had a truly franchise QB since Namath and who play in the world's biggest media market, be willing to pay for a guy who has proved he is the real deal? QBs are basically equivalent to that one guy who can totally by himself dominate the court - the LeBrons of the world - and it's conceivable a team desperate enough would be willing to give you the sun, moon, and stars for Wentz, all the draft picks basically. You could re-stock your team for years to come, find a new QB to develop, all because you have a safety valve in Foles.

Mind you, I would not do this, but it is an interesting thought question. I think I'd at least want to know what could be had.

I wrote this before the SB last year and well some asshole has to be the first to start it so it might as well be me. I am an asshole after all!

If they do run the table with Foles under center, and especially if they win a playoff game, I really don’t think it’s entirely nuts to at least kick the tires on this, except that Wentz would probably be worth less this offseason than last and there isn’t a team sitting there like the Browns with a crazy boatload of picks.

But at the same time, let’s go full hypothetical here and imagine that Foles does the seemingly impossible and COMPLETELY runs the table and they win another SB and he is the MVP AGAIN. At that point you’d have a really hard time arguing he shouldn’t be the starter here.

A problem to deal with in the one in a zillion chance it happens, I know, but again an interesting thought question.

If Foles wins us another Super Bowl, you have to just keep both on the roster and wait for Wentz to get injured next year and Foles to step in again as the closer.
