The Development of Carson Wentz…

More from Inside the Iggles

Something that definitely cannot go unnoticed is the coach to quarterback relationship that Pederson and Wentz share. This is probably the most crucial aspect as to why Pederson is so important to the team. When your starting quarterback and head coach both have faith in each-other, the results are typically positive.

The transformation of Wentz has been amazing. He’s gone from a rookie still getting familiar with the NFL to a leading MVP candidate in just two years, has been contributed from a combination of talent and great coaching. If all goes right, Pederson and Wentz could be a dynamic duo for many years to come.

Every Eagles fan is hoping that’s exactly what happens.
