E tore his acl even though hes on the injured reserve list out for the rest of the is that i still think Carson James Wentz should be considered for this years mvp. Heres why. First of all carson got the eagles to where they needed to go. He clinched nfc east for the bi sending them tohe playoffs. Eagles have that locked um even though hes on the side lines. Second hes still leads the nf will. In touchdowns. Hes thrown 33 passes this season closest behind him russ russell with just 29. Lets take lookhoe is in the run right now.
