I find it a bit amusing that Carson Wentz has already been consigned to third-string status for his rookie season, to the point where the Eagles' new head coach said he might be a healthy scratch for some or all regular season games. Seems like a strange way to treated the second overall draft pick. The back-up to Sam Bradford for his first season I can see, but third string?

Winston and Mariotta started right from the get-go last year; so did E. J. Manuel, Geno Smiff, and Robert Griffin their rookie years, as did Blake Bortles.

But third string? And the media and DWFs don't question it of course. Hopefully Carson will start at some point anyway this year, if Bradford gets hurt again or the team is going nowhere, as is likely as it rebuilds demographically from the "racist" Chip Kelly era.

From Weenieworld: Eagles first-round pick Carson Wentz is expected to get "a ton" of playing time in the preseason. The Eagles pretty much know what they have in Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel, and shouldn't feel the need to expose them to exhibition games. Because third-string quarterbacks get no reps during the season, preseason games will be Wentz's best opportunity to gain experience until the Eagles fall out of the playoff race, at which point Wentz might make starts. We would not be surprised if Wentz wound up leading all quarterbacks in preseason snaps this year.

Only white players get treated like they are treating Carson Wentz. Bradford is injury prone and Chase Daniels is no a starting
qb in my opinion. More likely a 2nd string guy but let's watch Wentz waste away riding the bench. Only in the nfl. So stupid!

Its crazy that training camp is right around the corner. It is always fun seeing unheralded white players excel leaving the analysts confused on what race based cliche to throw at them.

As far as the Eagles QB situation - it is one of the more baffling I can recall just because they have so much money invested in the spot. I think they gave something like 28 million to Bradford and signed Chase Daniel to a pretty lucrative contract for a player who has not had much playing time. Wentz seemed to be universally praised during the draft process and supposedly was impressive in OTAs so for the Eagles to just limit him already to 3rd string is totally moronic.

Other situations I am interested to see are the Jets, Browns and 49ers. As Don mentioned in the 2016 FA thread Fitzpatrick really overvalued himself after his best season which paved the way for the quasi retarded dullard Smiff to be given the job - I can't think of a better example of black privilege than Smiff who in his rookie year was bad, could not grasp time differences in 2014 in a game vs san diego http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/sto...no-smith-others-missed-team-meeting-san-diego , had an altercation with a teammate and had his jaw broken. He has one of the worst entitled attitudes of any black quarterback in the league. I cannot stand him, luckily the NY media doesn't seem to be a fan of his either nor do many Jets fans who are notorious DWFs. Hopefully Petty can push him and Hackenberg can show new life in the NFL so one of them ends up starting some games for the Jets this season.

The Browns are interesting as they drafted a decent number of white players including QB Cody Kessler who seems to have the black head coach Hue Jackson fairly enamored. The Gremlin doesn't really fit what Jackson has done historically with QBs he has worked with. Also Josh McCown is still around and although a journeyman is a solid option. I think Kessler with a good training camp has a shot this year to start.

The 49ers are Chip Kelly's new home and although the media has anointed Toucan Krapernick as the "perfect fit" for Kelly's offense all of the early reports are that Kelly prefers Gabbert. It sounds like Gabbert has really taken a positive step in his once wavering career. He played very well last year and seems to finally have the confidence he was lacking earlier in his career. Don't forget Gabbert has very similar athletic attributes to Krapernick just the wrong skin tone.

Doug Pederson sounds like government officials explaining away their crimes after they get caught -- "mistakes were made." A player is accused of sexual assault but it is a mere "mistake." That's quite a combination black affletes have in their favor that gives them all but a blank check to commit crimes -- the district attorney so often finds "insufficient evidence" to file charges and then the team pats the player on the head and reassures the public what a good guy he is.

The Eagles' new coach sounds like a real douchebag; how fast will he remake the team into a coal black carbon copy of so many others?

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he will speak privately with Nelson Agholor. Agholor was accused of sexual assault earlier this summer, but the Philadelphia D.A.'s office determined there was not sufficient evidence to warrant charges. "We all make mistakes," Pederson said of the incident. It does not appear as if Agholor will face any public discipline from the team. He is the favorite to open the season as the starter opposite Jordan Matthews.

Just compare this case of actual physical violence by a black Philadelphia wr to Riley Cooper uttering a word that means nothing but has been built up into taking the Lords name in vain a few years ago - shows how screwed up the priorities are in this country

Daniels has received the same caste treatment as any white QB. Coming out of Missouri, he was derided as being "too small" with a "weak arm" and "slow" despite an outstanding collegiate career. While in New Orleans, he was the spitting image of starter Drew Brees (minus the zulu chant) while on the field, and had an equal preseason performance to Alex Smith while in KC. He should have been a starter long ago. Bradford though is a known (mediocre) quantity, and based on "upside" (isn't that the key evaluator in this league?) should be 3rd string.

Bradford is as fragile as a China doll. Again they would of been better with Foles. Bradfords actions after the Eagles traded up for and drafted Wentz were pretty pathetic considering how much money the Eagles paid him back in March. I was never a Bradford guy, I was hopeful that he was going to play well for the Eagles, he had a decent season but his overall career is nothing impressive.

Not only that, but Bradford is one of those QB's that the media got behind just because they could say that he was something other than a European white male. He's an injun, so that makes him diverse. Just like Sanchez is the Mexican and Marriota is the Poly wonder.

Redskins LB Junior Gallete tore his Achilles today and is out for the year.

I guess I spoke to soon regarding the Browns. It looks like they are going to hand the job to gremlin giving him 4 of 5 first team reps.

Looks like the Browns are in full black privilege mode giving Josh Gordon yet
another chance. Sure Manziel was an idiot but was he any worse than Gordon who is a habitual offender.

Also the Cowboys draft idiocy strikes again as randy Gregory is now in a rehab facility and will have a longer suspension. Lol.

Cordarrelle Patterson gets yet another chance it seems with the Vikings after failing to live up to his draft status. Must be nice.

In some good news the Ravens signed Jake Long.

You beat me to it on Gregory. Another highly-drafted black BUST, and another indication of absolutely no impulse control. He would rather do drugs than ensure tens of millions of more money in the future (if he actually ever produced).

Bummer, as he had a chance of getting carries this season and of being in the mix to replace 33 year old Frank Gore when he retires:

Colts placed RB Tyler Varga on the reserve/did not report list. Varga is retiring. The reason is unclear, but Varga dealt with a nasty, lingering concussion as a rookie. Varga made three appearances in 2015, notching one carry. Even in a woefully-thin backfield, he wasn't expected to be a 2016 factor.

That's too bad about Varga. Can't knock him though as he is highly intelligent and I believe has an degree in medicine.

I hope Zenner and Wegher are able to get some chances this year. Also it would be nice if the Colts went after Gerhart.

Looks like Philly is quickly reverting back to the pre-Kelly days:

Bradham turned himself in to Miami police after an incident last Thursday at the Hilton Bentley Miami/South Beach. According to the police report, Bradham was in a group of customers at the hotel. Bradham verbally complained to a hotel worker about the speed of service.

The incident "escalated," according to the police report, "when the defendant, without provocation, struck the victim in the nose with a closed fist, causing the victim to fall to the ground."

of course wikipedia has him down as a "full back", just changed it there, keep an eye on it, funny to watch all white RB's be labelled full backs,

Sounds like Foles will be cut. Interested to see who picks him up.

Mike Wallace could not pass a conditioning test.

Great news about Fitzpatrick. I also hope a few teams take a long look at Nick Foles. The guy has a good arm
and could very well become a starting qb again if given the chance. If I were the Cowboys, I would sign him
right away. Many other teams should take a long look.

The Cowboys or packers would be nice spots for Foles.

Foles has a 73 td/27 int ratio over his career. Did not know that. I hope he gets another shot somewhere. In a qb starved league he is a middle tier starter at worst.

From Weenieworld: Browns coach Hue Jackson does not believe Isaiah Crowell's disturbing Instagram post represents who he is as a person. "I truly believe that this is not who Isaiah Crowell is," Jackson said. All indications are the Browns plan to give Crowell every opportunity to earn back their trust. Despite this thoughtless incident, Crowell still has a great shot to earn the starting job.

Yes, it is a bit "thoughtless" to post an image of a White policeman having his throat slit. But don't worry, this isn't who Isaiah is. He's actually a great kid with a room illuminating smile, a gentle soul who previously had never had bad thoughts about anyone. He and the reformed Josh Gordon will undoubtedly seek to become Boy Scout troop leaders in Cleveland during their spare time this season.

Several of us on CF recognized Crowell as a thug when he was a young player on the Georgia Bulldogs. He has all the hallmarks of being a real-life gangbanger like DeSean Jackson, Brandon Spikes, Aaron Hernandez (Thrashen was very astute about this one), some of the Pacific Islanders' and several others.

Will Denver give a fair shot to wideout Jordan Taylor? He was on the practice squad last year. http://www.nfl.com/player/jordantaylor/2553606/profile

I'm hopeful Kubiak won't cut Taylor. It was documented last season how Taylor put in the extra time with Peyton. I think if Peyton was still there he would be on the final 53. Kubiak is about as white friendly a coach there has been in the modern NFL so I am hopeful he sees the talent and ability in Taylor.
