Week 6 IGT: (4-1) Philadelphia Eagles @ (4-1) Carolina Panthers: Wentz vs Cam Vol. 1

He absolutely has proven to be a top 10 QB right now, but there was zero reason to say that he would be in the top 10 before the first game of this season. If you had your rankings strictly based off what you thought it would be, then sure potential is huge there, but that'd be like me laughing that no one had Deshaun Watson as a top 10 QB or not worth a first round grade in the draft. Hindsight has a lot to do with it.

Wentz is living up to what we want and hoped he'd be but it's homershading to say you knew he was a top 10 guy to enter 2017.

Top 10 potential before the season, yes, actual top 10, not close imo. But the 3rd down success is what has surprised me tbh and is what boosted him into actual top 10 and borderline top 5. Wentz has been arguably the best quarterback in the entire NFL on 3rd down. That's really what you want in a quarterback, a quarterback that can keep drives going

According to Pro Football Talk, Lane Johnson and Wendell Smallwood practiced today.
Also. they list the Eagles as 2nd, behind the Chiefs, in the power rankings.

Absolutely. I know this isn't really anything but just by NFL Networks list this is essentially their QB rankings heading into 2017. It's hard to argue against those heading into the season.

Tom Brady | New England Patriots (No. 1 overall)
Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers (No. 6 overall)
Matt Ryan | Atlanta Falcons (No. 10 overall)
Derek Carr | Oakland Raiders (No. 11 overall)
Dak Prescott | Dallas Cowboys (No. 14 overall)
Drew Brees | New Orleans Saints (No. 16 overall)
Ben Roethlisberger | Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 22 overall)
Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks (No. 24 overall)
Matthew Stafford | Detroit Lions (No. 31 overall)
Cam Newton | Carolina Panthers (No. 44 overall)
Marcus Mariota | Tennessee Titans (No. 50 overall)
Andrew Luck | Indianapolis Colts (No. 51 overall)
Jameis Winston | Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 57 overall)
Kirk Cousins | Washington Redskins (No. 70 overall)
Philip Rivers | San Diego Chargers (No. 73 overall)
Alex Smith | Kansas City Chiefs (No. 81 overall)

The Prescott love, meh, but those other guys were definitely better than Wentz ranking wise heading into 2017.

He's leapfrogged the majority of those guys now though.
