Two years ago, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was approaching his second season in the NFL. He was coming off of a lukewarm rookie season, which started off red-hot but eventually cooled down as he hit a rookie wall. Granted, the 2016 Eagles offense wasn’t loaded with talent. Therefore, Wentz’s struggles were surely warranted that season.
Nobody knew what to expect in 2017, though. Were the Eagles going to get the first-half of Wentz’s debut season? Or the second half? Fortunately, they got the first-half, and more. Wentz was ridiculously good in 2017. With an MVP-worthy effort throughout the first half of the schedule, Wentz was recognized as one of the best quarterbacks in the game.
