Carson Palmer had a fairly respectable NFL career but he never really elevated himself that much further after that knee injury against Pittsburgh. That doesn't mean Wentz can't have success in the NFL anymore. But it could put a damper on his decision making moving forward in regards to sacrificing his body to make a play or perhaps his natural rhythm in the pocket.

We'll see soon enough I guess.

"Wentz might never be the same QB again" after an ACL tear is a huge reach, especially because we just saw him last year after it. It's not a big issue anymore

During the early part of last season, I heard a pretty neat clip, I can't remember who said it, but they said "Wentz is the overall better/more talented QB. But Foles is the better QB for this Eagles team"

Better by virtue of being healthy sure. Foles has only been good for a handful of games over the last two years , thankfully they came in the important ones in 2017

You saw him last year up until his back injury (thought it was another knee injury, probably got my wires crossed while thinking of Carson Palmer). That's now two years in a row where he's ended the season on IR. You're only as good as your durability and body allows you to be. I don't think it's that much of a reach. It could change the way he approaches the game mentally as a competitor.

That may be on the back of his mind now on a weekly basis. Especially when you know the back-up who carried your offense to a SB victory and into the post season again is no longer there to help the team out when/if you go down due to yet another injury. I wonder if it'll change the way Dough Pederson now approaches opponents with Wentz and his gameplan's as well though.
