It’s been a long time since the Eagles traded Sam Bradford and handed the keys to Carson Wentz with days to go before the season started.

The career of Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Carson Wentz is officially one year and one month old. There have been winning streaks, losing streaks, “Wow” moments and things that have made you wonder what the guy might have been thinking.

The true test would be the growth spurt from year one to year two. After a month, we’ve all probably reserved ourselves to the idea that Wentz is the guy. We at Inside The Iggles offer our thoughts on where he is after one month of the NFL season. We hope you enjoy.
