If you read one thing today, you illiterate goof, make it Jeff McLane’s in-depth piece on Carson Wentz. There’s not much to say other than it’s very good.

McLane relied heavily on Jordan Matthews, Malcolm Jenkins and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo for his material. Matthews, who expressed his love of Wentz through recounted conversations with his girlfriend, seems particularly enamored with his new QB. Also, is it just me, or does his complimentary comments about Wentz imply a sort of hatred of Sam Bradford?

Matthews has been on the Wentz bandwagon since their first practice together in the spring, telling his girlfriend and anyone else who couldn’t attend the Eagles’ early practices that he was the real deal.

“The development and the technical stuff — the coaches all worry about that. I look at the dude and say, ‘OK, does this guy got it?’ He got it. He just has it,” Matthews said. “I love watching him. I love being around him. I like to see how he interacts with guys. He’s cerebral, but he don’t think too much. He’s a leader but he ain’t trying to lead.

“There’s something about him, bro, that when you’re around him you can tell that he’s a winner.”

…

Matthews said Wentz’s performance backed up what he had been telling his girlfriend. He equated the moment to when an acquaintance finally sees the film or hears the album you’ve been raving about for weeks.

“I’m telling her, this dude, Carson, he’s a beast. She’s like, ‘OK, we’re going to see,’ ” Matthews said. “And then, boom, he kept making plays. I felt like a fan. I’m like, ‘I told you this dude was legit!’ “

Translation: Bradford sucks.
