It could be, and admittedly I've mostly only seen him in one game against the Cowboys this year.
He still doesn't look like he sees the field well or reads a defense at an elite level. They're running the hell out of that zone read play, but somebody's going to come up with a solution to that. Mostly, it looked like Philly's lines were better than Dallas' lines, at least for the first half. Since Dallas has pretty good linemen, I'm assuming that's been the case most of the way for the Eagles.
That's exactly what I thought about him at Alabama, and felt vindicated when he was at Oklahoma. He'd throw 5 yards slants to guys like Waddle, Jeudy, etc. who would then outrun the field for 70 yard TDs and his passing numbers would look really cool. In 2016 when he finally ran into Dave Aranda's defense in Baton Rouge, they scored a whopping 10 points, and yes, I do still have pictures at the ready of Alabama committing THREE uncalled holds on the play while he scampered to the endzone for their lone TD. Fast-forward to 2019, he faced a somewhat lesser Tiger defense in the playoffs, and when his OU linemen couldn't overwhelm everybody, he was who I thought he was--a guy who can do some nice things when everybody around him is better than the other team.
I freely admit he may have gotten better and I don't watch him enough to see it. Perception is a hard thing to overcome in any case.
