www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/carson-wentz-responds-phillyvoice-hit-piece-i-can-be-selfishMy first thought was that he gave the article more credibility than most of the sports fans and media did around here. My assumption is that in order to do that, he's had conversations with some who were the unnamed sources and that in order to address it as he has, he must have respected some of those people and their opinions. Lastly, kudos to him for addressing it as he has. He seems interested in growing, and IMO, the humility he showed is a sign of a leader. He's a man. As a contrast, could you imagine what McNabb's reaction would have been if this happened to him in year three? He would have been like Rainman, making notes in his copybook about some "serious injury" perpetrated on him by his teammates. Kudos to the Kid!

I'd read something saying he shouldn't have responded. BS! He's the leader of the team. He addressed it and was honest. I like this guy more all of the time.

Humility is the key, and you are right, 5 would have reacted like a baby. Some believe that admitting mistakes or saying you did something wrong is an act of weakness. In fact it is just the opposite, and to grow as a person and a leader, the ability to admit you are flawed is key. How do you improve if you can't see the fault in yourself? I have always taught my kids that you are the author of your life, and if you want it to get better you will learn from your mistakes, take responsibility for them, and not blame others for the mistakes you made. It looks like Wentz understands this concept, and I expect it will help him to become a better player and person in the long run.
