It’s time for Carson Wentz to become the leader that the Eagles need

Much has been said about Carson Wentz in the space of the last 12 months. Whether it’s valid, statistical, speculative, slander, or just pure hot-takery, the $129M man just can’t escape the spotlight. But now, he has to thrive in it.

Wentz has been here before. As a rookie, an offense led by Jordan Matthews and Zach Ertz left plenty of meat on the bone. The team were involved in seven games that ended within a score, winning only one. 43 drops headlined a woefully inconsistent year on offense and the more things change, the more they stay the same.
