Per rotoworld:
Eagles OC Frank Reich said No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz's "aptitude is off the charts."
"I’m not sure I’ve been around a guy that has as high an aptitude as him at this age," Reich continued. "It’s really, really good and he has the work ethic to go along with it." That "aptitude" has allowed Wentz to pick up the offense "very fast." Coach Doug Pederson seems committed to making Wentz sit behind Sam Bradford, but his resolve will be tested if Wentz shows good command of the offense in camp. No matter who is under center to start the season, it is likely Wentz makes starts as a rookie.
We can all judge him once the real bullets start flying, including Reich.
Can't wait till you try to squeeze your dumbass on the bandwagon.
Apparently Doug Pederson and Bradford are getting along really well ... Bradford respects and appreciated the way Pederson handled his absence. Says he feels fully healthy at camp for the first time in a long time.
I really like the Wentz pick and I am glad that he seems to be exceeding expectations.
However eaglesnut is right in that until he gets in a real NFL game situation all of the previous expectations/observations go right out the window. Sam Bradford is a prime example of this... in practice/OTAs/Pre-season games he kills it... then the real show happens and it all falls apart.
I am not saying Wentz will have the same issues as Sam but I don't want to get my hopes up too much. Perhaps that is the negadelphia in me.
Wentz needs to get ready by mid-season. Can't learn much in street clothes inactive for games. Bradford is ripe for getting hurt and he won't play hurt for a team not committed to him.
But it's much more fun to get your hopes up!I really like the Wentz pick and I am glad that he seems to be exceeding expectations.

Think Bradford will be much improved with this much improved o-line. Notice the key word "improved"??
