Strongside/Weakside: Carson Wentz

After being selected second overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz opened the season with a nearly flawless performance in a victory over the Cleveland Browns. Is he any good?

↗ STRONGSIDE

Becoming more comfortable with faster pace of NFL locker room banter

Will be considered a mobile quarterback for another year or two

Plays with the kind of skin color that Philly fans absolutely love

Last name sounds the same when drunkenly slurred by 60,000 spectators

Red hair and fair complexion form perfect accent to the midnight-green hue of the Eagles’ home uniform

Little pressure knowing city will eventually turn on him no matter what happens

↙ WEAKSIDE

Large Philadelphia Quaker population could seduce him into a life of quiet pacifism

Classy professionalism making it hard for Philadelphia fans to identify with him

May have hard time adjusting to NFL-level competition after spending training camp with Eagles

Took almost three months to prove he was better than Sam Bradford

Often screams at God for allowing receiver to drop pass

Still retains some bad habits from college like enjoying game on a fundamental level
