I GET a little nervous when Doug Pederson starts referencing Brett Favre in talking about Carson Wentz, as Pederson did again last week, in a discussion of late-game moxie.
Bowen: Wentz needs to do less 'gunslinging'
Pederson was Favre's backup when Green Bay won Super Bowl XXXI; to him, Favre comparisons are a great compliment. Me, I started covering the Eagles in 2002, later in Favre's career, and though I know he's an all-time great, Hall of Fame quarterback, subject of a new biography by acclaimed writer Jeff Pearlman titled Gunslinger, and all that, I also know this: Late-career Favre's gunslinging lost as many games for his teams as it won.
