Carson Wentz and the Eagles can dream about big things as they enter their bye at 8-1. 1 team and second-year quarterback Carson Wentz is the MVP by a whisker over his, shall we say, slightly more accomplished New England Patriots counterpart, Tom Brady. The Eagles were 7-9 last season under Wentz and rookie head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson and Schwartz dismissed such talk, and Jenkins credits Pederson for forging a partnership with his players. All season, there have been reasons not to fully buy in on the Eagles as the NFC Super Bowl favorite or as the league’s top team: Wentz has no playoff experience.
