The appear like they are about to embark on a new era. As the club prepares to take on the in Week 14, it will be doing so with rookie as the starting quarterback, the team confirmed on Tuesday., Philly's incumbent starter, will now be demoted to Hurts' backup.This move by head coach Doug Pederson comes after Wentz's struggles throughout 2020 bled into the Eagles' Week 13 matchup with the . The former No. 2 overall pick in the Fred Warner Jersey 2016 draft completed just six of his 15 pa ses for 79 yards and a pa ser rating of just 57.4. With a poor performance unfolding once again, Pederson elected to give Hurts extended time under center midway through the third quarter and the Oklahoma product provided a noticeable spark to the offense, including this 32-yard touchdown pa s to Greg Ward.. has his first NFL touchdown! | : CBS Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) Hurts -- who finished with 109 yards pa sing, including that touchdown and a pick -- was taken with the second round of the 2020 draft out of Oklahoma, which was an early indication that Wentz may be on Ji'ayir Brown Jersey thin ice heading into this season.Judging by how the offense looked when you swapped out these quarterbacks, it does make the reasoning by Philly to go with Hurts a bit easier to understand. With Hurts under center in this game, Philadelphia's offense averaged 6.29 yards per play over four po se sion which is a noticeable jump from the 3.52 yards per party over Wentz's five po se sions in that same contest."I'm trying to do what I can do for this team. I think it's as simple Deion Sanders Jersey as that," Hurts said on . "Working hard every day, putting my best foot forward, and taking somebody with me. I'm trying to lead and just get this thing in the right direction. So, anything that can help this team." KC QB #11 CMP%57.4YDs2620TD16INT15YD/Att6For Wentz, this is officially rock bottom to a 2020 season where poor throws and indecisivene s have plagued him to the point where he's now a backup. He ranks second-to-last among qualifying quarterbacks in completion percentage (57.4%) and right around the bottom of the league in most other categories. Wentz has also been sacked a league-high 50 times this season. All this serves as quite the fall from grace for a quarterback who was fairly recently looked at as one of the bright up-and-coming players at the position in the league."At the end of the day, it's outside of my control," Wentz said for Hurts in the midst of Week 13. "That's not Jon Feliciano Jersey for me (to decide). I know what I'm capable of. I know I can play better. I have never doubted myself or lost my confidence in my abilities. But a lot of these things are out of my control."What is interesting now is the long-term future for Wentz in Philadelphia as it's nearly impo sible to cut or trade him. He is signed through 2024 and has ma sive dead-cap hits over the next few seasons, specifically in 2021 where the Eagles are sitting with almost $60 million in dead cap money. Things do subside a bit Joe Staley Jersey in 2022, but the $24.5 million dead cap number still is substantial. Trading him would be tough this offseason as a team would have to be willing and able to absorb his cap hit of 30-plus million over the next four seasons.While the answer to who'll start for the Eagles in Week 14 has been answered with this decision to go with Hurts, it does bring with it a mountain of other questions that Philly will eventually need to now answer.
