The Philadelphia Eagles will be running a new offense again this year, with new head coach Doug Pederson.  Sam Bradford is expected to be the starter day one, but with both Bradford and number 2 overall pick Carson Wentz trying to learn the offense, it seems like one player is picking up the offense quicker. It is still early but Wentz seems to be understanding the playbook better than Bradford, according to Matt Lombardo of NJ.com.

“Wentz has shown a plus-NFL arm, accuracy to make every throw on the route tree and an ability to move in the pocket and buy time,” Matt Lombardo of NJ.com writes. “Not for nothing, but Wentz also seems to be ahead of Bradford in terms of mastering Doug Pederson’s offense.”

Both quarterbacks are starting new with rookie head coach Doug Pederson’s offensive scheme. Surprisingly, the rookie has an edge right now.
