Well, this won't go over well in North Dakota. And it doesn't seem to be going over well with some in Philadelphia.
Although everybody would be best-served by taking a deep breath.
Some
of Carson Wentz's teammates on the Philadelphia Eagles came to his
defense Monday after a published report that characterized the former
North Dakota State quarterback as "selfish," "egotistical" and
"uncompromising."
The PhillyVoice, an alternative newspaper, posted
a piece online that used unnamed sources on the Eagles and around the
team to paint a picture of Wentz who caused friction on the team and wasn't universally loved. That's different, like by 180 degrees, of the Wentz that's been portrayed since his Bison days.
"Carson
Wentz's biggest enemy is Carson Wentz," one source was quoted as
saying. "He's had his ass kissed his whole life, and sometimes acts like
he's won 10 Super Bowls, when he hasn't played in, let alone won, a
playoff game yet. Everyone around him wants good things for him. He did
more thinking on the field than he did playing (in 2018). You don't have
to be a brain surgeon or a football expert to see how differently this
team plays and reacts with one guy as opposed to the other."
"Whoever wrote that article needs to check their 'sources.' #fakenews,"
offensive lineman Lane Johnson wrote on Twitter. "Carson has been and is
our leader and our QB. Y'all know where to find me if you have any
questions."
"Reading through this Carson Wentz thing and as a leader on this team
none of that is true," wrote defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. "Carson is a
great teammate and great player we are all behind him 100% he's our guy
and will come back and prove the world wrong. If you got a problem free
free to @ me I'll respond."
Wentz, a two-year starter at NDSU who was drafted No. 2 overall by
Philadelphia in 2016, became a central story line to the Eagles'
disappointing season in 2018.
He had a
near-MVP season in 2017 before tearing his ACL late in the year, giving
way to backup Nick Foles. Foles got hot, leading Philadelphia to the
Super Bowl title and being named most valuable player of the game.
Wentz
came back at the start of 2018, but he and the Eagles offense often
struggled. Philadelphia was 5-6 with Wentz starting before he was
sidelined again, this time with a season-ending back injury. Foles took
over again and boosted the Eagles to the playoffs, where they upset the
Chicago Bears before losing the New Orleans Saints in the divisional
round.
The story outlines an Eagles team
that preferred to have Foles at quarterback because he ran the team's
offense as it was designed. Wentz, sources in the story said, tended to
"complicate" the offense and had "favorites" who he targeted with passes
more than others.
Tight end Zach Ertz,
one of the players who happened to use Twitter to defend Wentz, was
singled out as a favorite and the numbers, for what it's worth, backed
it up. In the 11 games Wentz played, the story said, Ertz had 106 passes
thrown his way, by far the most of any receiver.

I have heard this about another philly player who came from the same part of the country,  but never about Wentz.  of coarse goddart doesnt throw the ball,  and has likely never been accused of over thinking anything....let alone football.

Gee, a guy that is recovering from knee surgery and may have some confidence issues after watching his backup win the SB, may have tried to hard and needs to relax and just play.  Sounds like a lot of speculation based on some mediocre play this year as he rehabbed on the field.

I think there is nervousness among some fans - and maybe media is stoking it - about the Eagles' likely need to part ways with Nick Foles. Some are going to advocate for the other option - signing Foles to be their starter.

I hope the best for Wentz.  As for the Eagles, I hope they implode.

I'll bet I could guess the identity of the "anonymous" players.  That team is filled with horrible human beings.  So, of course, it is their nature to "hate" those who refuse to get down into the gutter with them.  Rather than looking in the mirror... they project.  THEY are the selfish divas who care more about themselves and their stats than winning.  But Wentz is such a good human being, he must think he's better than them... so they blame him.

They made their deal with the devil to get a Super Bowl win.  Now they can live with the rest of the "contract".  Suck it, Philly.
