So you're saying the Eagles backs are better than Zeke?
And Dak has a great supporting cast too.
So back to my question ... ;)

No they aren’t.

But our receivers aren’t as good as theirs. Nor is our tight end. No matter how much I love Jason Witten.

I honestly would take Alshon Jeffrey, Torrey Smith and agholor over our receivers.

And let’s not even get into coaching.

Umm, Troy has 3 rings. Wentz’s name doesn’t belong in the same sentence.
But Troy didn't have a ring in his second season.
I think the point is that coming back from behind when you're always ahead isn't a knock on a quarterback.

Which makes it a "forward pass" under the rules. Similarly, when he chucked it to the sidelines earlier, it could have been ruled a "backward pass" because it landed behind the point where he released it, even if he threw it in front of his body?
That would be my interpretation.

Good. I can never cheer for the Eagles unless they are playing another NFC East team, depending on the situation.

Yes the only thing that matters is the ball, that is the "pass". It never traveled from the 47 back to the 46 then forward to the 48 where the receiver caught it. It moved forward the whole time.

They were behind a lot last season and he threw picks and turned the ball over in those situations. Just like he did tonight.

Just saying he hasn’t proven he can do that yet.

True but Dak has struggled a lot more than Wentz has. And they are 10-2.

That buys a bit more leeway.

Will Wentz be able to get it done when it really matters. At the end of the regular season and in the playoffs? Because we know that all of Romo's great regular season games or when he had the Cowboys at 10 plus wins didn't matter if he couldn't get a playoff win or get to the superbowl during that season. So the same should be applied to Wentz.

At no point was the pass backward. None.
Even if the pass was lateral which is legal at the speed they were running once the ball got to the reciever it would have been at a forward point from where he threw it. It’s a scientific certainty.
