Carson Wentz wowed the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, compiling a 101 QB rating and leading the Eagles to a 19-point victory in his NFL debut. But Eagles fans weren't the only ones who came away impressed with Wentz's performance.
Here's a look at some of the national reaction to Wentz's first game in Eagles green ...
Wentz just audibled when he was cross dog blitz coming for big gain. This kid is wise beyond his years.

Clevelanders can look forward to a vibrant week of sports talk radio. Wentz looks like the real deal.

Coaches did a smart thing coming out running early to get Wentz comfortable. Then giving him shorter reads on passes. #CLEvsPHI

Best thing about Carson Wentz? Was 8/8 against the blitz. Last season Eagles QBs completed 51% vs blitz. T-3rd worst in NFL

PFF: #Eagles QB Carson Wentz earned an 86.6 grade this week. 3rd-highest among NFL QBs so far, trailing only Andrew Luck and Drew Brees.

Since at least 1960, only three NFL rookie QBs have posted 275+ passing yards, 2+ passing TDs and 0 INTs in a season opener. Wentz is one
