Philadelphia Eagles Carson Wentz not ready for week one

It’s probably safe to assume that a camera or two will follow Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz around for the duration of training camp and that a microphone or two will be shoved in his face every time the Philadelphia media has a chance to communicate with players.

“Obviously barring injury and, as you know, how this game is, but typically the third quarterback, whoever that is, is down on game day”, Pederson said. The best practice players are always prepared the best on game day, and Carson was so meticulous in his weekly preparation on and off the field that the game slowed down for him on Saturdays. He’d be the third quarterback. How are your hamstrings today?’ ‘I feel great, coach.’ ‘Well, your numbers say this, but how are you feeling?’ ‘I’m a little nicked.’ You can’t just go off a chart, I don’t think, and say, ‘He’s running a little bit too much.

The three-year, $21-million contract given to Chase Daniel was just as clear a message: Daniel was brought here to be the No. 2 quarterback.

That hardly seems earthshaking, as it is essentially what Pederson has been saying all along. Pederson’s unwavering support for Bradford through the trade demand by the player’s agent won over the vet.

NOT CAMP KUMBAYA: Pederson played for Andy Reid and coached under him. He completed 22 of 51 passes for 166 yards and one interception.

Doug Pederson is an enigma, the man who bested Duce Staley, Adam Gase, Ben McAdoo and Tom Coughlin to be head coach of the Eagles. Pederson is planning a return to the way Reid did things, although National Football League rules have limited how much hitting a team can do.

Position battle worth watching: It is easier and more entertaining to watch competitions at quarterback (Bradford vs. Wentz) and wide receiver (Rueben Randle, Nelson Agholor, Chris Givens).

The news, while jarring to those who are used to highly selected quarterbacks being thrown immediately into the flames out of necessity, makes sense for an Eagles team that already has two veteran quarterbacks.

Daniel is quite familiar with Pederson’s offence because he played for him in Kansas City. In that case, both could dress for games.
