I find this battle interesting, where Franchises seem to prefer one QB and the locker room seems to prefer another QB

It was apparently a no-brainer for the organization. For the locker room, it’s a different story.

Joseph Santoliquito of PhillyVoice.com has published a potentially explosive article that contains quotes from “more than a half dozen players, plus other sources close to the team,” all of whom insisted on anonymity, regarding quarterback Carson Wentz.

The coaching staff and front office continue to anoint Wentz as the starter. Nick Foles seems to be on his way out, regardless of the specific mechanism by which he exits. Per the report, however, Foles is “universally loved” in the locker room. And Carson Wentz is not.

While he has been described as “incredibly hard working,” “determined,” and “highly intelligent,” Wentz also has been dubbed as, quoting from the story, “‘selfish,’ ‘uncompromising,’ ‘egotistical,’ one who plays ‘favorites’ and doesn’t like to be ‘questioned,’ one who needs to ‘practice what he preaches’ and fails ‘to take accountability.'”

The Eagles Franchise clearly prefers Carson Wentz, while the locker room seems to prefer Nick Foles, and they won more with Foles... in the regular season the Eagles won less than 50% (5 of 11) of their games... with Foles they won 80% (4 of 5) of their games

The Bucs Franchise clearly prefers Jameis Winston, while certain people (such as WR DeSean Jackson) prefer Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had a better QB rating, passing %, TD/INT ratio and less fumbles. Winning percentage was about even, with Winston having a slight edge ((3 of 9) 33.3% vs 28.5% (2 of 7)).

Also a different category, but in past years, the Jaguars and Giants franchises have seemed to refuse to look outside of Blake Bortles and Eli Manning for starting QB... though I believe Manning MIGHT still be able to play if the Giants put a good OL in front of him, with all those weapons they got... but a good mobile starting QB MIGHT help too. But all of which, the Franchises are stuck on a single guy when there are some questions, should they be looking elsewhere.

Manning is unquestionably done and they did themselves a disservice not drafting a QB last year. They are already at least a year too late. Foles over Wentz no question. Especially with that back injury which could be an annual disruption. Fits over Winston but Winston has age going for him.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.
