Hot debate in the Crossing Broad Slack channel.

Is Malcolm Jenkins throwing Carson Wentz under the bus? Is he saying Nick Foles is the better quarterback? It stems from this quote he dropped today, courtesy Zack Rosenblatt at NJ.com:

I dunno. I don’t see it.

Malcolm Jenkins could be shading Wentz, but it’s hard to parse the quote that way when he says this, verbatim:

“You had Nick Foles coming in and obviously that changed a lot of what we did on offensively (sic).”

It’s true that the Eagles offense was different with Foles in there. They schemed and game-planned differently. The offense was typically simplified when Nick played, not dissimilar from the way Jim Schwartz simplified things on the defensive side as a result of the myriad injuries that plagued the team.

I hate to say it, but I think the longer the offensive struggles continue, the more credence it lends to the “Frank Reich and John DeFilippo” take. It’s not that it’s a bad take, per se, it’s just impossible to qualify since those guys didn’t call the plays and we weren’t sitting in the meetings with them.
