Carson Wentz has been one of the best at his position since entering the league in 2016 and despite the heavy criticism he’s faced over the past two years, the numbers show that the Eagles star is elite and just hitting his stride.
Wentz is considered a top-10 talent, but numbers talk and the Eagles star is on a career arc that could have him in Canton when things are all said and done.
The topic of conversation is sensitive for Eagles fans and Wentz pundits, but here are five stats that prove Wentz is elite and just getting started.

1. Wentz is making history
Despite missing eight games the last two years and with one game still to go in 2019, Wentz already has the 9th-most TD passes in NFL history by a QB in his first four seasons. He’s now fifth in team history with 96 touchdown passes and can overtake Donovan McNabb in the next four years if he stays healthy.
Wentz has 35 career interceptions.
Wentz is the only QB in NFL history to record 95+ passing touchdowns and 35-or-fewer interceptions in their first 54 career games.
Of the 10 quarterbacks currently ahead of him in touchdown passes over their first four seasons, only Russell Wilson has also thrown fewer than 44 interceptions in his first four years, and only Wilson and Dan Marino have a higher passer rating.
After Sundays win over the Cowboys, Wentz is the first quarterback in NFL history to record 30+ completions and 0 interceptions in 3 consecutive games.
