3 Reasons Carson Wentz Will Win NFL MVP This Season

If the Philadelphia Eagles want to get back to the Super Bowl, they need their franchise quarterback to take them there. The Eagles go as Carson Wentz goes, and the fourth-year quarterback is primed for a big season in 2019.

If everything goes as planned plan for Philly this year, these will be the three reasons why Carson Wentz is hoisting the MVP trophy at the end of the season.

3. He is Healthier Than Ever

In 2017, when Wentz was almost a lock to win the MVP, the quarterback dove into the end zone against the LA Rams, tearing his ACL. The effects of that injury lingered in the 2018, with a back fracture not making things easier. This year, Wentz is healthier than ever, with a new nutrition plan to maintain that health. He is leaner, stronger and ready to play a full season for the first time since his rookie year. For Wentz to win the MVP, he has to stay on the field all year. With the quality of offseason he had this season, the odds of that happening are better than ever.

2. His Weapons Are Dynamic

The group of offensive weapons surrounding Wentz are arguably the best collection of talent he's had since entering the league in 2016. The team retains top talents Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor, while they traded for both Jordan Howard and DeSean Jackson in the offseason. Even the team's focus in the draft the last two years has been on the offense, with the selections of Dallas Goedert, Miles Sanders and JJ Arcega-Whiteside early in April's showcase. Wentz has no excuse not to be phenomenal with this group of weapons, and it'll only make his MVP campaign that much easier.

1. The Eagles' Team Success

It's well known that the MVP of the National Football League never leads a bad team, and that won't magically change this season. For Wentz to win the MVP, he needs to lead the Eagles to a highly success 2019-20 campaign. And that's exactly what's expected of the Eagles this year. Philly owns one of the deepest rosters in the league, and most pundits peg them as a top-five team entering the year. If Wentz and the Birds play exactly how people expect them to play, the record won't be the reason he doesn't win MVP.
