YAWN Who cares what some talking head thinks? He's a homer and tries to inflate his "boy". LOL Then the dude starts talking about Super Bowls......duhhh his boy was on the bench during theirs.
Ceiling means nothing if a player can't stay healthy. Wentz was healthy only during his rookie year. Then he's missed 8 regular-season games, not counting the playoffs and Super Bowl. Carson has a ring but he didn't play in the game...WOW funny how he forgets about that.
He then destroys his own argument talking about how Pederson is a far better coach. Which then leads to that means Goff is being handicapped by having McVay, a lesser coach. But if Goff isn't as good and he's playing for a lesser coach, why is he putting up basically the same numbers as Wentz with a lesser team and coach around him? So logically if Goff were in Philly he would be playing better with a better team and coach so geee I guess he would be outperforming Wendtz all things being equal. By his own argument, Goff is matching Wendtz in most areas with less.
The dude is a hack who can't write. Goff will probably reach his potential because he stays healthy. Wentz may not reach this high ceiling he's supposed to have if he can't stay healthy. This is a huge season for Wentz. If he goes down again he's going to earn the tag "injury-prone".
Yeah, I will freely admit that with Fisher as the HC I wanted Wentz - since a Wentz type player was more likely to produce under the kindergarten offenses Fisher was in love with. But since Fisher was replaced, Goff has been the man. I expect Wentz to have a relatively short career for such a talented player - hopefully he'll retire before he becomes a crippled shell of his youth.
But comparing the two - you can't really count the Eagles' Super Bowl run, since Wentz didn't actually play during it, but instead a second or lower tier QB led the team to the championship - which weakens the respect for Wentz's regular season record. Meanwhile, Goff led his team to a NFC championship, playing every game and having a great statistical record. The criticism of him is mainly for the Patriots shutting him down - but he got to face the Patriots at least and was within striking distance in the 4th quarter.
