Eagles head coach Doug Pederson faced a lot of questions on Monday about who the team’s starting quarterback will be on Sunday against the Saints. He didn’t have an answer, but emphasized that the decision is his along, and he’s not looking for a lot of input from elsewhere.
Pederson didn’t want to get into the specific mistakes made by Carson Wentz that led to his benching, and noted that those kind of critiques are things he wants to keep between himself, the coaches, and the players. He did say that it’s always a difficult decision to make, especially at the quarterback position and in-game, but they were looking for something to get the offense and team going.
