At this point, highlighting, or hedging any points, with the fact that there has only been one game in the career of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz seems like a waste of time.

We all know it was one game. We all know he's a rookie. We all know it was the Cleveland Browns.

With that being said, let's just go off of what we have seen so far, and on Sunday, it was hard to be at Lincoln Financial Field and not feel like it was the start of something special.

Wentz finished his first game 22 of 37 for 278 yards and two touchdowns, but it was how he looked doing it that was impressive.

The receivers weren't wide open, and the pocket wasn't perfect. Wentz put the ball into tight windows, especially on his 39-yard strike to receiver Nelson Agholor, who had his man beat, but still needed a perfect pass to score.

There were plenty of times when Wentz had to move, and he did so flawlessly, navigating the pocket around Browns defenders and still delivering catchable balls.

Wentz looked like a veteran on the field, breaking down the Browns not because the skill players on the other side of the ball weren't great, but because he knew what was coming, and adjusted accordingly.

Of course he had some passes he would like to have back, and not every pass was perfect.

If Wentz is able to play at the level he did on Sunday consistently, however, the Eagles' season could end much differently than expected.

Going into the year, the Eagles were viewed as one of the worst teams in the league. They were near the bottom of almost all the national power rankings. Some had them dead last.

Why?

The list is long, but a bad offensive line, poor skill position players and a questionable set of cornerbacks were some of the main reasons. In addition to having a quarterback in Sam Bradford, who was viewed around the league as the definition of "just a guy", and had never accomplished much of anything in his career.

Some of those issues still remain, but at least one week in, it appears the Eagles have much more than "just a guy" as their signal caller.

If there is one truth in the NFL, it is that having a quarterback changes nearly everything.

A good quarterback makes poor skill position players better.

A good quarterback can make a bad offensive line look passable.

A good quarterback takes the pressure off of the defense, makes a head coach that nobody wanted a winner, and he can even take a general manager and make him a "football guy."

No, Wentz can't be expected to fix everything right away. But the Eagles traded up to take Wentz at No. 2 overall because they think one day he can.

Based off of his play on Sunday, that day could be much sooner than expected.

And when it does come, everything with this franchise will be changing -- for the better.
