In the 2020 NFL Draft, the Eagles shocked everyone by selecting Jalen Hurts with their 2nd round pick. A selection that was met with criticism and questions after Carson Wentz seemed to carry an Eagles team with a sub-par receiving corps. Fast forward to the 2020 season, and the decision seems to be not-so-questionable with Carson Wentz drastically underperforming his pervious seasons. Jalen Hurts eventually replaced Carson Wentz and remained the starter for the rest of the season (lets ignore the last game). With Doug Pederson being fired, its clear that the front office doesn't blame either of the QBs primarily for the disastrous season in which the Eagles finished 4-11-1. The Eagles now head into the off-season and draft with a QB controversy alongside trade-rumors revolving around Carson Wentz. Here we take a deep dive into the season performances from both QBs. By the end, we discuss what the Eagles might do going forward.

Mahomes has had an historic start to his career, and Tom Brady could take his legacy to another level by winning the Super Bowl during the year after leaving the Patriots. We take a deep dive into Brady's and Mahomes' performances throughout the regular season and playoffs to get a deeper understanding of what this iconic Super Bowl matchup may look like on Sunday.
An unprecedented QB swap happened over this weekend between the Lions and Rams. The Rams have agreed to sending Jared Goff, two future 1st-round picks, and a 3rd-round pick to the Lions in exchange for Matthew Stafford. Many online are declaring that the Rams won this trade, and they are now Super Bowl contenders for next year. Some are also saying that although it does not help them right away, the Lions won because of the multiple picks to help kick off their rebuild project.
Who really won the trade? Here we take a look at the two QB's performance from the 2020 season to conclude the winners and losers of this trade.
