Pro's
He's had 2 coaching staff's and 2 systems in 2 years as a pro
Last years coaching staff didn't want him
He had only 2 seasons in college
He had 2 guys getting reps ahead of him last year before being made starter with little 1st team practice
He's shown leadership this year
As far as I can see he's got the respect of his teammates
He has one of, if not the worst OL in the league (over 11 games he's been sacked on over 10% of pass plays)
He has 1 top tier receiver and no top tier TE
The running game so far isn't consistent enough to take pressure of the passing game (restricting PA etc.)
He's only started 9 games, played in 11

Cons
poor technique
He's inaccurate
He starts cold in games
He seems to panic when given some time to throw (which isn't often), hence some of the inaccuracy

Overall I'd say he's got to overcome a lot of adversity here to shine. I don't see how anyone can say he's been given a fair crack of the whip, but yes, if he's still as bad by game 16, then maybe we do need to consider options.

But if we draft another QB high next year, how does that yet again limit our other options in the draft? We have so many holes to fill, and he proves at least capable as a game manager, why abandon the other needs yet again? Can any quality QB do well without at least a top 16 OL?

Put it this way; stick Carson Wentz behind this line would he not be just as bad as he looks in Philly?
