Sielski: Time for Eagles wide receivers to start helping Wentz

While the literary world anticipates the publication of Jon Gruden's debut novel, Love in the Time of Carson, let us contemplate a deep and meaningful question about the Eagles: Just how good would Carson Wentz be if his wide receivers had opposable thumbs?

In a broader sense - beyond, for instance, the Eagles' place in the NFC East standings this season - the Eagles' 29-14 victory Monday night over the Bears and Wentz's performance in it were beneficial to anyone who follows the NFL. They showed the limitations of judging a professional athlete (in football, anyway) solely by his statistics.
