3. If you believe Carson Wentz isn’t a great teammate or leader, you’re crazy.

Did anyone else come away from this thing feeling like the bad rap Wentz gets from people is for no reason? He loses his top skill guys, and he encourages the youngsters. During Philly’s final drive of their second game versus the Washington Redskins, the cameras captured a clip of him high fiving Miles Sanders after a big play.

That shot said it all.

Once Philly pulled things out, with a last-second game-winning toss from Wentz to Ward, the cameras flip to Wentz celebrating with the young receiver on the sideline.

Cameras don’t lie. Throughout 2019, Wentz did what he always does. The face of the franchise supported struggling teammates publicly while fans and the media criticized them. He owned his failures. He kept things light on the sideline when things were good and when they were going haywire. He listened to the advice of his veterans, and he improved as the season went along.

Philly doesn’t win a division title without him.

To make long stories short, Philly got the second pick right in 2016’s NFL Draft. Other spots on this team are full of question marks, but the starting quarterback position shouldn’t be. Surround this guy with talent, and Philly will win that second Super Bowl. That’s a guarantee.

light. Trending. 15 LB targets to potentially replace Nigel Bradham

All or Nothing’s account of the 2019-2020 Eagles season captures everything from the roller-coaster ride to the passion (and sometimes angst) Eagles fans are known for. All or Nothing is a must-see, and to be honest, it’s one that’s worthy of an Emmy. You won’t get any Eagles fans who will disagree on that point.
