So you would feel better going into the season with a rookie? Brissett? Eason? Or Wentz because those were your options
I feel great about it and the good thing is we play the NFC west so we’ll be able to compare Wentz Colts numbers vs NFC west vs Eagles Wentz I can’t wait to revisit this one .....
He was sacked vs Baltimore 6, Pittsburgh 5, and Browns 5
Wentz sacks by game look like this/ 8-0-3-3-5-6-3-4-3-5-6-4
Rivers last year / 0-2-0-1-1-1-2-0-1-1-1-3-0-1-5-0-0

He’s a QB, he’s not going to be asked to do less. He just won’t have to pull the load by himself. But teams go as the QB goes and games will come down to him having to win it himself. But if this was just about him having better talent around him I would be ok. But it’s not, because that wasn’t the only issue. So having better talent around him is only one aspect of the problem because Wentz had a historically bad season.

Per NFL Research, Wentz’s drop in passer rating from 98.3 in 2017-2019 to 73.4 this season makes him the sixth quarterback to have a plummet of more than 24 points in one season. Wentz is the only quarterback under 30 to have this happen to him, and four of the other five quarterbacks on the list (Y.A. Tittle in 1964, Joe Theismann in 1985, Brett Favre in 2010, and Peyton Manning in 2015) retired after those seasons.

Would I feel better with a rookie or Eason? Maybe. Depends on the rookie. And who says that’s the only options? Stafford was available. Rodgers and GB have a falling out. Watson won’t play for the Texans. Miami isn’t sure they like what’s his name. Who knows what would happen.
Teams change too much year to year. A stat comparison to the NFC west really wouldn’t tell you much. It would probably be better to compare him to Rivers to see if we made an upgrade. But this is a pretty brutal schedule, especially early.
