He’ll be the first rookie quarterback to start an opener for the Eagles since at least 1950, and the fans will be energized about the player the Eagles acquired with the second overall pick in a blockbuster pre-draft trade – from the Browns, no less.

So while we await the start of the real season, let’s take a look at five Browns-themed fantasy football team names to use this season. The Eagles will win this game at home but don’t expect too much from Wentz. He’s always studying. Ertz also said he thinks Wentz expands the playbook because of his athleticism.
“So that’s just the type of person, and that’s the type of quarterback that we have”, Pederson said. “Even though you have a desperate need for one, you have to resist the temptation of taking that guy just because you have a need if you don’t believe he’s one of those 20 guys at the end of the day”.
Where will the Eagles finish in the NFC East?
It was just announced that Carson Wentz would be the Eagles starter week 1. Like Wentz, McNabb was the Eagles number two pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. “Right when I heard that Sam got traded, I was informed that Carson was going to be the starter”. A lot of experts are writing off Wentz right now. “Move forward, on to the next”, Wentz said. Is that just me? Is what we are putting together as a game plan, is he matching that up to what the film says? “It’s something that we believe in”. But once that kickoff happens, once we’re playing ball, it’s just football again. “Every rep is huge and important, but nothing’s going to change”.
Pederson indicated that the game plan won’t be much different from what it would be if Bradford were still the QB, except maybe allowing for Wentz’s running ability, here and there.
“The key is to trust what you have done”, Wentz said.
“I always felt that whenever Carson got his chance, whether it was next year, Game 3 or Game 10, I’ve always felt he would be ready”.
“Guys were excited, ” he said. It’s been a pleasure working with him.
That’s not a lot of time to build a rapport with his supporting cast. “That is just the way this business is, but we are very comfortable with Carson and the direction he is headed”. Originally, the plan was to sit Wentz all season and have him learn from Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel.
The police said they were called to the hotel at approximately 2:45 a.m. after Miller tried to enter a hotel room occupied by an elderly couple. “You’ve just gotta be able to react and make a play off of it”.
It was evident during training camp practices that Wentz wasn’t afraid to push the ball down the field. “We quickly cleaned up and got out of there”. He’s good at doing that.
“He’s got some swagger about him”, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said.
“Yeah, you’re shocked, but you kinda understand”. I remember walking out with our coaches who have been with all these great people and said ‘this is off the charts’. I don’t need extra motivation. Invariably, the team cuts ties with the player a few years later, no better off than they were before they drafted him. In a given year, there may be two or three NFL-ready quarterbacks at the college level.
Carson Wentz will most likely end up being an above average National Football League quarterback but as of right now he might be a little bit shaky. He talks when he needs to. Bradford certainly helped diffuse the tension, but Matthews said Wentz’s maturity helped there, as well.

“Coming from a smaller school, you kind of have a chip on your shoulder so to speak”, he said. “That was nowhere to be found”.
