Wentz is just a tackling dummy. Damn.

It's a good thing for him that they have rules to protect QBs now, because Vander Esch could have absolutely killed him. He drilled him still, but totally let up at the end. Years ago he would have been piledrived into the ground.

When was there a bigger discrepancy in play between 2 divisions like what exists between the NFC East and the NFC West.

The East might be the worst I have ever seen. I remember watching back as far as 85-86.

Right now the NFC East division winner will likely win 7 games. Maybe 6. Since they all play each other, it's hard to see a division winner with fewer than 7 wins, but this year, it's possible. They're all so unbelievably bad.

Because they play each other, they will grab some wins but these teams are legitimately Jets level bad.

Is Wentz even the problem? I have a lot of questions about PHI. I think Captain Ron might have the best squad in the lEast.

Agree on WFT.

The metrics at Football Outsiders say Wentz is in the discussion for the NFL’s worst regular starting QB, along with Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, and Drew Lock. My eyes agree with that assessment (though I’d definitely rate Lock a cut above the others).

Jones and Lock are 2nd-year guys; Darnold’s a 3rd-year guy and won’t be anyone’s starter next season. Wentz is supposedly in his prime. You’d normally bench a 27-year old QB plying this badly, but given Wentz’s uncuttable contract, I understand why the Eagles are giving him every opportunity to work through his problems.

Wentz and Sam have a similar problem in that their protection is non existent. Tough to judge these guys when they are getting crushed. They both might be ruined at this point.
