It wasn’t flawless, but Wentz spread the ball around and showed a great chemistry in the works with Nelson Agholor, who had a disappointing rookie season with Sam Bradford at the helm.

Its great to have him out there, he said. How many no-name wideouts has Brady turned into potent weapons seemingly out of nowhere?
Nelson Agholor has found a reason to play. White, who sat out last season because of a stress fracture in his left shin, pulled up on a route rather than cut to the right flat.
Browns fans watched Sunday as the very quarterback they passed on threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Eagles to a 29-10 victory in Philly. Before McCown became the quarterback in 2015, the tight end had just 44 catches in six seasons, but last year with McCown as the quarterback, the tight end caught 79 passes for 1,043 yards and nine touchdowns, torching his combined career stats in just one year. Can he keep the pace of catching seven passes for 114 yards all season?
At 6-5, 237, Wentz has prototypical size for a modern-day quarterback.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III seems to be a victim of circumstance and bad luck more than anything else. “But if they don’t go man coverage and go zone, the corners stayed under me and the safety was coming over top”, he said. He has a maturity about him that even if it’s not crunch time, he’s always treating it like it is.
And as RG3 walked around the practice field Wednesday, still wearing his orange No. 10 jersey, all he could do was offer advice and encouragement to Cleveland’s other quarterbacks, receivers and teammates who are going forward without him. But it needs either a hall of fame defense, or a hall of fame quarterback.
The injury occurred during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. We play a violent game, and sometimes things happen.
“Carson is a special, special player”. Even the play itself just showed the fight that he had even late in the game, which is tough.
But lets put on the breaks. That goes a long way on the football field.
That being said, there’s no harm in pontificating just a little bit.

Despite having one of the most inconsistent QBs in the league, the Bears are still 3-point favorites to win this one, and that’s because Wentz is relatively untested and inexperienced and because, overall, the Bears have a more talented roster. “This business is short-lived”. It’s a different set of circumstances. To be fair, it’s been a while since the Eagles have had much to be excited about, and Wentz has only played one real game, so whether or not he’s worthy of the adoration remains to be seen. As a competitor in your mind and in the moment of the game, you are fighting to win the game.
