I’d still trade Dak for Wentz (and Watson and Mahomes and probably Mayfield at this point).

Although that’s a shakier stance than it was earlier in the year, ie Wentz. He’s not looking as sharp or consistent as he was last year.
'd take Mahomes or Goff in a heart beat

Well they had Jenkins, Sydney Jones a 2nd rounder, and Rasul Douglas a 3rd rounder playing in the secondary. I know they have had injuries in the secondary, but I'm not sure who they're missing that makes a big difference. They still have healthy dline (with the exception of Jernigan and Barnett). But Dallas was without FrederickMartin (during the end of the game), and Smith looked rusty with 3 holding calls.

And the reason they have no depth in their secondary is because they traded a bunch of draft picks to get the "amazing" Carson Wentz.

Sidney Jones is injured, bad hamstring and frankly I think it was dumb picking him when they did since he had an Achilles injury. Douglas stinks. Darby, our with an ACL is much better than these guys. And their S, McLeod, also out is much better than guys like Graham.

And they didn’t give up as many picks for Wentz as you think as they got some back in other trades including a first round pick for dumping Bradford since they turned over the team to Wentz. Still can’t believe Minny did that.

It doesn’t change the fact Dak faced a much easier secondary.

The only people who think Wentz is better than Dak are either Eagles fans or blind. It's that simple.

Wentz is a reserve QB, a mobile QB who's no longer mobile. Thank your lucky stars Dallas never drafted him. A career ending injury in his second year to our future QB is not the luck we need.

In fairness, and this isn’t an excuse for Wentz who has played inconsistently himself, but certainly you would acknowledge that in the two games, he’s faced a much more difficult defense than dak has faced.

Dak is literally throwing against a pass defense that had to pull guys off the street a few weeks ago.

How many healthy OL does Dak have? What about TEs? By far his No. 1 WR just got off the bus after being traded...

And Dak is a 4th rounder...he is supposed to be selling insurance...

At this point where they were drafted doesn’t matter. We are three seasons in.

You don’t get bonus points in a game because your late round pick is playing better than the other team whose QB was picked Top 10.

We are TWO seasons in...we have just entered the last quarter of season 3...

And in those 2 seasons...the 4th rounder has won the 2nd overall pick's Divison once (and soon to be twice)...and the other year...the 2nd overall pick's team WITHOUT him won the SB against the greatest QB/Coach of our lifetimes.

And you do get bonus points for playing with 80% of your OL injured, no TEs, and making $5.00 a game...you get some bonus points for that.

Wentz has a bright future and so does Dak.

They’re both works in progress.

Again what round they were picked is stupid at this point.

And sure Dak has faced some issues on offense. But it doesn’t change the fact Dak was throwing against a bottom 5 secondary today.

Or do you deny that?

That knee better not be a recurring issue or I think Wentz’s ceiling might be cut down:

He had a nice game thanks to a good 2nd half.

But he was terrible in the 1st half and looked very uncomfortable in the pocket.

He just isn't the same QB now that he can't or won't run. Their offense doesnt look the same at all compared to last year.

There should be no fear at all for Wentz as a Cowboys fan.

They are killing him in Philly. One thing I have observed is when media starts beating up on QB they usually regress.

The other team would not.

Wentz is turrible. Glad the Cowboys didn’t sell the farm for that bum.

In 2017, the Eagles were STACKED. Nobody can deny that. They won a SB with Nick Foles, after all.

In Carson Wentz’s other 2 seasons, he’s 12-15 as a starter.

So let’s kill this notion that Wentz is automatically better than Dak because he can “carry the team”. Carrying them to WHAT exactly?

When things aren’t perfect around Wentz, he’s a losing QB.

Dak’s a gamer and plays better when all the chips are in. 3rd winning season in 3 years as a starter. Closing in on a 2nd division title.

Brutal lol
Here's some more brutal for you.

The Eagles have scored an NFL-worst 28 points in the first quarter this season.

Eagles are dead last in 1st qtr scoring, think about how many other bad teams there are like the Jags, Cardinals, Bills etc.
