After Carson Wentz shot out of the gate this season like Noah the brain-damaged bald eagle zooming around defenses with no regard for human feelings, CBS analyst and former Jets LB Bart Scott called his opening competition weak and soft. “He could play Towson University and get a harder challenge than playing those two teams,” Scott said. He’s “fool’s gold.”

Wentz then went out and impressed everyone with eyes and a brain (and also Noah probably) by embarrassing previous SB probables the Steelers and getting the Eagles to 3-0. Hey Bart, do you want to take a couple more weeks to take your fool’s gold take back?

Scott was on The DA Show last night with Damon Amendolara and he walked back his statements with a shocking amount of calm for Bart Scott:

“I would take that back. I’m man enough to say when I’m wrong.

Could he be the real deal? Yes, but I’m not about to judge and call a rookie the real deal until he’s been in the league for 3 years…Is the kid playing well? Yes. But he has a lot of support around him.”

He also said he’d hold back a little bit of praise until Wentz faces the Cowboys in Week 8 on All Hallow’s Eve-Eve, where a win would cement the Eagles’ own Ginger Jesus as the most popular Halloween costume across the tri-state area.
