Doug Pederson told the Philadelphia media on Tuesday that he will make a decision on the starting quarterback job Friday.  That doesn’t mean he will let everyone else know.

Pederson made sure to add that he doesn’t have to make the decision public until 90 minutes before kickoff on September 6th.

Via Philly.com: 

Pederson emphasized that he expects to know “privately,” but that he doesn’t have to make the decision public until 90 minutes before kickoff Sept. 6. It will be quite a feat if the coach can keep that secret for six days, since the players will all know, as will many of their agents, team staffers, etc.

Presumably, Wentz will undergo another medical evaluation Friday, the day after the Eagles’ final preseason game, in which they host the Jets. Two weeks ago, when Wentz was preparing to return to 11-on-11 work in practice, he said there would be a medical conference that Friday, after the preseason game at New England, and that he expected to be cleared for full practice.

If Pederson keeps his decision quiet before next Thursday, then we can expect some more exchanges like this one next week.

And we thought he wasn’t a fan of these…  This is why Philadelphia can’t have nice things.  See what happens when you win one Super Bowl.
