At this time last year, the Eagles were headed to the Super Bowl. Now they’re coming out to publicly defend their franchise quarterback following a bombshell report cited team sources questioning his role as a team player.
After Carson Wentz ended the season injured for the second straight season — with backup Nick Foles unable to repeat his magic this postseason — a story published Monday painted a picture of a selfish quarterback who caused friction behind the scenes .
“Carson Wentz’s biggest enemy is Carson Wentz,” a source told PhillyVoice, which cited more than six players and other sources close to the team who spoke anonymously for the report. “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.
