The Eagles went with the cheaper option and future potential option not necessarily the best option.
Winning games in prime time shows me a guy that’s not afraid of the big moments I want a QB that shines in big games. He beat the 49ers (before the were injury ravished) Cowboys, and Giants. Played good games and kept them in vs the Ravens, browns, and Steelers

There is no patience with rookies. But Wentz was in his 5th year and regressed. They went with the best option in their opinion. Teams don’t trade away franchise QBs, unless there is something wrong or they have a falling out.
They beat a healthy 49ers? This is who was out for the 49ers:
Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Richard Sherman, Tevin Coleman on injured reserve. Raheem Mostert (knee), Emmanuel Moseley (concussion), Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring), Dre Greenlaw (quad), Dee Ford (back) and Jordan Reed (knee) and the lost Ezikiel Ansah during the game.
That’s a 6 win 49er teams. And the Eagles closed that game out with a defensive TD. Wentz had a nice TD with 6 minutes left, also had a god awful interception. All the other teams suck or the defense kept it close. He had two int’s against pit, 2 int’s and a fumble against the Browns, and a fumble against Balt which was probably his best game where he had 200 yards and 2 TDs. And these were his best games last year. We haven’t touched his worst games, which are bad.
This discussion isn’t really making me feel better about the trade.
