MDC 5,804 Posted February 23, 2021 True. If this were the NBA, the Eagles would’ve given the Colts a few picks to take Wentz bloated contract off their hands. Instead, Indy paid them. Highway robbery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brady did ask. He asked Godwin and told him that if he wanted to keep the number, that it was fine. Brady would then switch to #7 (symbolically as that was the Super Bowl number he was going for). There is a rumor that he might switch to 8 this year. It's almost exactly how it went down with Pittman and Wentz. Wentz asked Pittman if he was locked in to #11. He said he was, so Wentz said he'd switch. The ONLY difference is that Godwin was ok with giving up the number. Now, who's to say that Pittman just isn't a jerk? I mean, assumptions are just being made that Wentz is garbage so Pittman told him to stick it. What has Pittman done to deserve the benefit of the doubt over Wentz?

You are taking offense with Wentz being called dogsh1t in this thread. The truth probably is that Pittman likes the number, and Wentz couldn't care less either way.

Well it’s the point that a second year guy is either proactively or just telling Wentz he doesn’t respect him enough to give up his number. He’s a middling second year wide receiver. And no he isnt good enough to even ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's a solid QB who was on a crappy team run by a crappy organization. Some want to blame only Wentz and think he's garbage. I'm open minded and think the largest problem was everyone else. The Eagles just released Jackson and Jeffrey. Those were supposed to be his two best WR's, now they're free agents. Guess they weren't all that good after all, eh? Their HC was also fire. Their GM should have been fired and will likely be next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 1,745 Posted February 24, 2021 You guys might be onto something with the MSM and their misleading titles.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted February 25, 2021 Matt Stafford wanted to wear #7 with the Lions but it was retired. Dutch Clark, the Flying Dutchman, wore #7. He played for the Lions from 1931-1938 (skipping 1933 to coach a football team). He played for the Lions before they were the Lions. They were at the time called the Portsmouth Spartans and only became the Detroit Lions in 1934. In college he averaged 10 yard per carry at Colorado College and scored half of his team's points in 1928. In the NFL, he led the NFL in scoring, rushing yards, total offense multiple times. He was first team all pro multiple times. In 1935, the Los Angeles Times called him the greatest back ever to play the game. He retired after 8 years of NFL play at the age of 32. He won 1 NFL title in 1935. He went into the College Football Hall of Fame with its inaugural class in 1951. He went into the NFL Hall of Fame with its inaugural class in 1963. He was the first Detroit Lion to have number retired by the club, #7. Matt Stafford also cannot wear #7 with the Rams. It is also retired. QB Bob Waterfield wore #7 for the Cleveland / Los Angeles Rams from 1945-1952. He won 2 NFL titles in 1945 and 1951. Waterfield actually grew up in Los Angeles (Van Nuys) and was drafted by the Cleveland Rams in 1945. He won the NFL title as a rookie QB, won the NFL MVP in 1945, and then the Rams moved to his hometown of Los Angeles right afterwards. His career only lasted 6 years but he won 2 titles.
