Eagles coach Doug Pederson dragged into feeble defense of QB Carson Wentz in response to Brett Favre's comments

After Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson answered questions about Brett Favre’s Carson Wentz vs. Nick Foles comments on Wednesday, only a single question remained.

Could Pederson have handled that any worse?

The answer is no. When presented with a chance to defend his quarterback against an outsider’s criticism, Pederson punted until he was forced to answer, and then he gave a weak, milquetoast defense of the Eagles’ franchise quarterback.

Not exactly encouraging as the 3-4-1 Eagles gear up for the most difficult part of their schedule, with their success dependent on whether Wentz can overcome his struggles.
