The difference of course being that Wentz was the frontrunner for MVP prior to his injury. Not remotely close to the situation here.
And foles was a 4 year journeyman who showed nothing before that.
Also that should be the exact reason why you do not do that situation. The eagles sucked after offloading foles.
Yeah people will still call for Trey if he wins a Superbowl just watch.
But fans are extreme. Read the first 25 pages of this thread. You had half the fan base saying purdy had no chance of being anything even after the preseason and the other half saying he flashed more than lance.
I would agree with the latter set.
They both have deficiencies in their game. Lance had more. His football iq is slower, his throwing motion is longer, his decision making is slower.
Purdies are his arms not as good, he's not as tall, probably not as fast in a straight line.
They both haven't choked like Jimmy yet so I consider that a benefit to both.
Purdy seems to have the decisiveness and shiftiness though to be good. Really good. His football iq is high. He's similar to Wilson but seemingly better in these games so far.
