3 Bold predictions for Philadelphia Eagles versus Cincinnati

2. The Philadelphia Eagles star QB throws three touchdowns, one to ‘JJAW’.

Somewhere in that struggling six-foot-five and 237-pound frame that Carson Wentz possesses is the guy that crafted a near-MVP campaign in 2017. There’s no way that guy could have vanished completely.

There’s one theory that states if you’re going to rant and rave over those plays that only Carson Wentz and only a few other quarterbacks in the NFL can make, you’ll also have to deal with that gunslinger mentality from time to time. After all, Ben Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson also struggled from time to time and held on to the ball too long. Does anyone remember that?

Despite the fact that Ben Roethlisberger was once tagged as the lowest-rated winning quarterback in Super Bowl history and despite the fact that Wilson was carried by the ‘Legion of Boom’ before he was ever referred to as ‘DangerRuss’, both of those guys are now future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. The point is guys struggle sometimes. It’s the NFL. It doesn’t always mean that guys ‘suck’.

Wentz will be fine, and playing a rebuilding franchise (or a franchise that always seems to be building) will go a long way in helping him get back on track and establish some much-needed chemistry with his teammates. Expect a three-touchdown performance from ’11’ in Week 3. One will go to JJ Arcega-Whiteside, his first touchdown of this young season.
