Donovan McNabb and Carson Wentz were both picked second overall in the NFL Draft. Doug Pederson tutored McNabb in 1999 and coaches Wentz today. Because of similar circumstances like these, we are always going to compare the two of them.
McNabb started six games as a rookie. His best offensive weapon was running back Duce Staley. As much as we all love Staley, he averaged 3.9 yards per carry and ran for four touchdowns that year. The line wasn't good and the receivers were mediocre. McNabb was very raw and that didn't help matters. The Eagles finished next to last in yards on offense.
