Bigger statement: 2013 Chip Kelly or 2016 Carson Wentz?

Still shy of a full week since the Carson Wentz era began, his performance against the Cleveland Browns continues to gain steam both locally and nationally.  The rookie was poised, in control, making throws of a seasoned quarterback.   Experts on ESPN have since gushed with excitement for the rookie. The president of the United States publicly referenced the “Wentz Wagon.”

The unexpected has transpired since the 2016 home opener, but doesn’t this feeling remind you of something?

A mere three seasons ago, another Philadelphia Eagles performance generated buzz, as Chip Kelly introduced the NFL to his high tempo and unique looking style.  A Monday night display of formations and a pace of football that left jaws wide open.  Chip Kelly immediately became the next “genius” to enter the coaching helm, being mentioned in the same sentence as Bill Belichick.

Carson Wentz or Chip Kelly, who do you believe created more headlines after their first NFL game?

Well Bill just keeps his majic touches rolling along beat the Cards a very , good, well coached team with some brilliant strategy,This time he used his mind to incorporate a semi short kickoff ,fooling the NFL yet again at their own game to reduce kickoff returns.If our Eagle coaches can stay even or even a little behind Mr, B that they will turn out to top notch coaches. Gotta love the way Doug is bonding with his players, on the protest movement. Good move by Doug.

Chippers first game in 2013 vs Wentz’s first game here in 2016.
I say Chippers wins Jeff Kolsky’s article statement easily. The Chipper combined with Mike Vick at QB week one in 2013 off a 4 win season was a much bigger story. Chippers debut was spectacular in a 33- 27 at DC. Vick had 200 yards 1 TD with 50 yards rushing and a TD. McCoy had 184 yards rushing and a TD, DJax had 100 yards and a TD. RG3 tossed 2 interceptions.
