This is awful, brutal clickbait bullshit that blogs get accused of. The cover is referring to Les Bowen’s article, which is decidedly more tame and reasonable than this inflammatory cover. But it does include this bit of ridiculousness:

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.

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.
