Zach Ertz is an all-time great Philadelphia Eagle. As there would be with any player who has such a reputation, there has been heavy debate about what the Eagles should do with their once beloved tight end this offseason. As we seem to appear closer to a resolution on the Ertz/Eagles saga, the lingering question is ‘how exactly did it come to this?’ Ironically, it seems like we’ve been asking that question a lot when it comes to the Birds.
Ertz is a player clearly in decline. He had career lows in catches, yards and touchdowns in 2020, and looked a shell of his former All-Pro self.
