Lucky for them, he was, and the Eagles got their man. “Carson has one of the stronger arms in the league that I’ve seen, just watching on film”.

How would Wentz handle adversity?
The Steelers are 19-2 against rookie quarterbacks since 2004.
The Browns traded the pick to the Eagles and began the season with Robert Griffin III as their starting quarterback. “Those ones on the sideline”. Pederson recently told upi.com, “We don’t know it will be his entire rookie year; we can’t speculate that far out”. We’re going to have to play a good, total team game. Roethlisberger thought he’d see much more of Wentz. That said, it appears that Goff is making strides other areas aside from the playing field in practice that has given Rams offensive coordinator Rob Boras reason to be hopeful. “Through your experience of coaching and just being around football, you have to trust what you’re seeing and how fast his feet are moving and his brain is processing information”. “You will see more of that front with this group”. “He’s smart. Understands the game”. Watch how he notices the defensive back (37) near the line of scrimmage with another defensive back stacked behind him.
Wentz commands the offense and is always in control. “It’s showing his maturity and the ability that he has to play quarterback”. He possesses outstanding physical and mental tools. He is so clean with the football and doesn’t make mistakes. “He’s played two games, but he’s not trying to do too much”. “We’ll throw some stuff at him”. Watching Wentz do this so early in his career is remarkable. Wentz has this gift.
“I’m confident in myself but for sure [it helped] having guys after the play like Rodney McLeod and [Malcolm] Jenkins, come up to me, coach Cory [Undlin], coach [Jim] Schwartz, and say to me, ‘You know you can cover that route”.
High praise from the coach who played quarterback at the professional level and had one of the best apprenticeships under former head coach Andy Reid. For Wentz, 22, who spent his college days at FCS powerhouse North Dakota State, it’s a pretty good group of quarterbacks to be associated with.
However, that would be the last score of any kind the Eagles’ defense would give up that night, though Chicago did muster a punt-return TD after the game was out of reach.
“I was really surprised”, Roethlisberger said in a Wednesday conference call, via The Plain Dealer.
“I was blessed with a great defense, and you weren’t afraid to make mistakes because you knew they were either going to get the ball back for you, or stop them”, Roethlisberger said.
The last thing the Eagles want to do is get into third and long situations that will allow the Steelers to come after Wentz with a flurry of blitzes. But for us, it was also about fit – for Philadelphia, for our organisation. We got a new quarterback.

The Wentz Wagon will get full incredibly fast. Wentz will undoubtedly be doing his homework. The Sky is the limit for the Eagles and Carson Wentz.
