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.

Again he’s on a better team and will be asked to do less. Rivers had shitty games vs Browns, ravens, and Steelers pretty much made every offense look bad.
So you would feel better going into the season with a rookie? Brissett? Eason? Or Wentz because those were your options
I feel great about it and the good thing is we play the NFC west so we’ll be able to compare Wentz Colts numbers vs NFC west vs Eagles Wentz I can’t wait to revisit this one .....
He was sacked vs Baltimore 6, Pittsburgh 5, and Browns 5
Wentz sacks by game look like this/ 8-0-3-3-5-6-3-4-3-5-6-4
Rivers last year / 0-2-0-1-1-1-2-0-1-1-1-3-0-1-5-0-0
