Nice find. I like to see hopeful stats. Lots of us are rooting for the kid but also aren’t wearing blinders. Crossing our fingers that he turns things around.

I know Wentz lack of success in GWD is an irritant with eagle fans. I’ll still Wentz over Prescott.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is 6-0 when rushing at least seven times.

I'm happy with giving Dak some more time to see how much he develops.

This stat is misleading. It will be like this for most QBs. Teams that win tend to kneel. Kneeling counts as QB carries.

It is also true when you have a running QB, not a pocket passer. We win when we take the bumpers off Dak and let him run. We lose when we try to turn him into a pocket passer.

When you Romo was beside him in his Rookie season, he looked serviceable. He is in year 3. How much more time do we give him. I would prefer drafting his replacement. If he proves to be serviceable then he quite possibly could be traded. But I think he hit his ceiling in his rookie year. If Wentz had our RB he'd be unstoppable.

Last night being an obvious exception, if Dak had normal coaches that don't clap when they're losing, he'd be unstoppable

I'm not sure about that. My biggest knock against our FO is lack of preparation. They should have a plan B, just in case. But they never do. They didn' have a plan for Romo's career ending, just lucked into Dak...but they could have traded up to get Wentz. We had no plan for Witten retirement either, it's like the Jones don't even realize that football is hard on the body when your 25, much harder in their 30's. If Dak goes to Atlanta and wins and play well, then the conversation can continue. I'm not ruling out the O playing better because we got better-left guard play.

Do you know that Wentz is considered a God in this forum? Its sacrilege to lay any kind of insult against him even if its true.

Trolling the Eagles forums, they're super down on him. They're convinced they can't win with him because gingers will choke when it counts. Apparently it's called the Ginger Factor.

If Wentz had our RB and our receives before getting Cooper, he'd would be worse all around. Not unstoppable.

Having Zeke, Thomson, Hurns, Beasley, Gallup, Swaim, T. Austin as your supporting cast is worse than having Ertz, A.Jeffreys, Mike Wallace, Agholor, Ajayi and Sproles.

The Iggles are definitely slumping and might miss the post-season but I still trust Wentz and Pederson more long-term than Prescott and Garrett.
