Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz is the talk of the football nation after two impressive starts to begin this season and his NFL career.

Wentz, according to Pro Football Focus, is the top quarterback in the NFL through the first two weeks after posting a 94.1 quarterback rating with two touchdowns, zero interceptions and two victories.

Not everyone, however, is on board the Wentz Wagon. Just ask former Jets linebacker Bart Scott.

"Fool's gold," Scott said of Wentz Wednesday on the DA Show on CBS Radio. "He's played against JV. He could have went into Towson University and got a harder challenge playing those teams. Listen, it's easy to make good throws when there's nobody in your face, when there's no threat, when there's no imminent threat of danger. He's going to be under pressure. He's going to be under stressful situations. Right now, we could get Louisville or the University of Houston and they could beat the Browns."

A few things jump out here; Wentz was a perfect 8-for-8 against the blitz in the season opener against the Browns and for Scott to suggest that any college team could beat even the lowly Cleveland Browns is laughable.

As if those criticisms weren't enough, Scott completely missed the point about the kind of defense that both the Bears and Browns play.

"Listen," Scott said. "He's also played against traditional 4-3 teams. It's going to get a little bit difficult. There's going to be some trickeration. It's going to be difficult to put up 30-plus points because Big Ben's going to sling that thing."

It is worth pointing out that both Chicago and Cleveland employ variations of a 3-4 front on defense.

The Steelers certainly represent the most difficult test, on paper, that Wentz will have faced to date in his NFL career with a traditional 3-4 alignment up front defensively and an aggressive defense that plays a physical brand of football.

"He's going to have to take chances against them," Scott said. "It's not like this Pittsburgh Steelers defense is a great defense by any stretch of the imagination, especially in the secondary. But, they're going to create traps for him, they're going to disguise things. The safeties are going to move up and back. He's going to feel the pressure of trying to keep up with the Pittsburgh Steelers, believe that."
