Great article about the most impressive throw in Carson's first game - and it wasn't either of the touchdowns.

"The dividing line between the Alex Smiths and Kirk Cousinses and the realm of the Andrew Lucks and Aaron Rodgerses and Ben Roethlisbergers is that throw. You can't will a ball to fly with that kind of force. In Newton's formulas, the G does not stand for gumption. Force does not equal mass times acceleration times the haters. A noodle arm is a noodle arm. You don't like that? The universe don't care.

Kevin Kolb goes bass fishing and doesn't shave, but he can't make that throw. Cousins is a leader of men, but he can't make that throw. Jared Goff is in street clothes, plus he can't make that throw."

Great first game. I'm not surprised but Cleveland is a lower tier NFL team so we need to temper our expectations. There will be bumps in the road. The NFL has some amazing talent and coaching. They will figure out how to frustrate the rookie qb. However, CW will adjust and prevail in time. Also, the surrounding cast is good but not great so it won't be easy.

I didn't know much about the supporting cast until I looked up some of the guys after the game on Sunday. Sure I heard some of the names, but not always in a positive light. I didn't realize how young the skill guys on offense are. Ertz, 25; Agholor, 23; J. Matthews, 24; DGB, 23; and while the RBs are a bit older, they have a 5th round pick from the draft in Smallwood who is 22. It isn't just their youth that stands out, they have receivers who were high draft picks with highly touted skillsets. While this hasn't translated to consistent success on the field yet, they also now have a leader the team is vested in with a specific direction in mind. They will either sink or swim and they have the talent to swim. The offensive line isn't bad and how much can be attributed over the last couple of years to Kelly? A more traditional offense will allow the team to pursue more traditional linemen. I am guessing the ones they have are much more comfortable playing in a system designed to control the ball rather than running a 100 plays a game. They also went like 3 years without drafting any linemen. That focus will have to change.

Defense is hard to gauge because I am a firm believer Kelly ran them into the ground. They are pretty young, as well, anchored by 25 year old Fletcher Cox. They should look a lot better with an offense taking some pressure off by slowing the game down a bit.

I am not saying the Eagles have a Super Bowl roster or anything right now, but they don't look that bad. Good but not great is right on, like you said. There is a lot of potential there and the addition to stability at just one position like QB can drive young individuals, in particular, into defining their roles on a team. The nice thing is they aren't a overhaul away from being competitive and getting a couple of picks back from the Bradford trade helps them continue to build moving forward. I think CW, for being the #2 pick of the draft, is in as good of a position as anyone generally picked in that spot. While the Eagles gave up a lot to move up, their future is more promising with the talent they already had on the roster. The talent is there, it is just very young and hasn't fully developed. I wouldn't write off J. Matthews and Agholor as being finished products yet. Or Ertz for that matter.

On ESPN this morning, Sal Paolantonio referred to Philly as "Carson City, Wentzylvania"...
