The hype train is full speed ahead after a spectacular start to his rookie season, one that no one saw coming -- mostly because Wentz was the ' third-string QB three weeks ago. But was traded, and coach Doug Pederson decided to replace him with Wentz, the second-overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. In the two games since, Wentz has completed 43 of 71 pa ses for 468 yards and three touchdowns and -- perhaps most Marc Gasol Jersey impre sive -- no interceptions. He's been decisive at the line of scrimmage and even better after the snap. Wentz's command of the offensive is as surprising as the near-universal praise that's followed.We say near-universal because not everyone is sold on Wentz's immediate succe s. "Come on, man. Fool's gold," CBS Sports NFL analyst and former and linebacker Bart Scott said during an appearance on " ." "He's played the JV. He could play Towson University and get a harder challenge than playing those two teams." That should give you some indication how Scott feels about the and , Wentz's first two opponents. Those defenses rank 19th and 16th, respectively, according to ' metrics, so it could be worse. Still, Scott remains unimpre sed."It's easy to make good throws when there's nobody OG Anunoby Jersey there in your face," he continued. "There's no threat. Terence Davis Jr. Jersey There's no imminent threat of danger. He's going to be under pre sure. He's going to be under stre sful situations. Come on, man. We could go right now. We could get the University of Louisville or Houston, and they could beat the Browns."The Browns and Bears are a combined 0-4, but Scott expects the Eagles' opponent this week, the 2-0 , to give Wentz his toughest test to date. "He's played traditional 4-3 teams," Scott said. "It's going to be a little bit difficult. There's going to be a little trickeration this week. There's going to be a lot of pre sure to put up 40 points because Ben's going to sling that thing. This week, he's going to have to be aggre sive and he's going to have to take chances. It's not like this Pittsburgh Steelers defense is a great defense by any stretch of the imagination, especially in the secondary. But they're going to create traps for him. They're going to play with his eyes. The safeties are going to move up and back. is a veteran safety. ... He's going to feel the pre sure trying to keep Vince Carter Jersey up with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Believe that."For what it's worth, the Steelers won't be taking Wentz lightly.
