Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagle

[QB Eagles]

the real test is this sunday, we all knew that when the team announced he was starting from day 1.

I disagree with that. Starting against the Browns with minimal advance notice and preseason experience after coming out of Podunk U was a major test that most rookies (i.e. Jared Goff) would have failed. The Steelers are definitely a different type of test (though their defense is not really all that great), but Week 1 under those conditions and Week 2 on the road on a national stage are legit accomplishments.

Agreed. Pittsburgh may offer the toughest test to date, but let's not minimize what he's been able to do his first 2 games.  And this game will be won or lost by the defense more so than Wentz, imo.

not saying the first two wins aren't legit, but both those teams stink and there will be those who question wentz until the team defeats a defense that isn't giving up 25+ points a game.

regardless of any of that, this kid has played very, very well to this point.

[Rome]

He's 2-0 and he's exceeded expectations and I guess that's more than any of us can ask especially with who he's forced to play with.

cleveland and chicagos problem was their offenses not their defenses

pittsburghs secondary is pedestrian at best...im not saying wentz is going to light them up but its not their defense that worries me its their offense putting up 40+

pitt is the test for the defense

wentz has been outrageous....they need more talent certainly and wont be able to get that for 1-2 years, but that hick can play

he's definitely exceeded all expectations. the talent you can see, it's there, but beyond that, the kid seems to have the "it" factor. his command and poise is impressive. I doubt he will ever blame the team's issues on their "youth" or barf in the huddle.

I do agree that this week is more about the defense vs the steelers offense though.

PFF on top rookies through 2 games:

1. Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles
We're not going to crown Carson Wentz just yet—a lot of quarterbacks are going to looks like All-Pros against the Browns and Bears this year—but if Rookie of the Year voting were to end today, it wouldn't be particularly close. Wentz isn't just the highest-graded rookie, he's the highest graded quarterback in the entire league. His stats aren't overwhelming (they'd look better if he didn't have the second-most yards lost through the air due to drops, with 89), but he's doing so many things well that it seems incredible there were so many skeptics during draft season—myself included.

Yeah she does

He looks like he could pass for a ginger amish dude

[smeags]

I guess that's her in the bikini pic ? igy isn't kidding, she looks too young.

but hey, red solo cup means fun times.

[hbionic]

...she looks too young.

No such thing exists.

[Butchers Bill]

What kind of elementary schools are you fools trolling that makes you think she looks like a 9 year old??  Maybe it's because I work with a bunch of 20-somethings, but she looks like a typical millennial to me.

[Sgt PSN]

Lol.  There's definitely a couple pics where she looks super young....like early teens.  And there's a few where she looks 19 or 20.  Regardless, she's boring as hell in terms of her appearance and lis probably an awful lay.  Wentz needs to take advantage of his high stock right now and trade up.

id take a run at the chick on the left in the bikini pic.
