Eagles News: PFF says trading for Carson Wentz isn’t worth the risk

Monson: QB Carson Wentz isn’t worth the gamble - PFF
This is the great problem with taking on the rebuilding project that is Carson Wentz. His play in terms of stable metrics and data points has actually been very consistent throughout his career, though they did take a downturn in 2020. His play in 2017 didn’t just represent a huge deviation from the rest of his NFL play; it was a season built upon catching lightning in a bottle for that season. Wentz effectively caught a run of hot cards at the poker table in 2017, and while he absolutely took advantage of that and played the hands he was given well, you can’t rely on that happening in the future.
