Comparing Wentz’ First Three Seasons to the Greats

Despite the departure of Nick Foles, there is still quite a bit of banter going on about Carson Wentz’ durability and potential to recreate his success from the 2017 season.

Some fans believe that he is not worth his new contract extension and that the Eagles will regret their decision. In order to put into perspective of just how good Wentz has been, here are how his numbers stack up against the greatest quarterbacks of all time through three full seasons as a starter.
