The Philadelphia Eagles remain one of the more enjoyable National Football Leagues to watch. This is thanks in large part to quarterback Carson Wentz, who is unafraid to hurl the football down the field more than five yards at a clip. None of this is lost on Eagles head coach Doug Pederson.

Pederson, who could be somewhat bias, is apparently a huge fan of consuming his gunslinger.

Wentz hit four different receivers for four touchdowns, leading coach Doug Pederson to say that it’s “fun to watch when it’s clicking like that” for his quarterback.

“I don’t really know. You step up and at that point it comes into make a play mode,” Wentz said in comments distributed by the team. “There are a lot of bodies in the middle of the field so I knew he was one-on-one with a linebacker. He did his job and kind of just turned up field and made a play.”

It isn't only the coach who has praise for Carson Wentz. One of his teammates knows how special he is.

”He is amazing,” receiver Nelson Agholor said. ”I talk about how great and how athletic he is and how he has a great arm, but the attention to detail, the film study, the professionalism he has is second to none.”

It is worth noting that not only are the Eagles 6-1 this season, but their quarterback has already hurled a total of 16 touchdown passes this season. He has already tied his TD mark from last season, which obviously puts him on pace to destroy it.
