Meet the QB guru Eagles' Carson Wentz will work with this offseason

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will train with quarterback guru Adam Dedeaux this offseason, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer

The Eagles want Wentz to improve his mechanics, even though he passed for 3,782 yards with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while posting a 79.3 passer rating. 

Here's a look at five things you need to know about Dedeaux: 

1) Former minor league pitcher: A former left-handed pitcher, Dedeaux spent four seasons in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system after graduating from USC. 

2) Marquee clients: Dedeaux recently took over for Tom House, also a former minor league pitcher, pitching coach and passing guru. Dedeaux previously worked with Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer and others to help improve their passing mechanics. Tim Tebow also trained with Dedeaux ahead of the former quarterback's brief stints with the New England Patriots and the Eagles. 

3) What Wentz will be working on: According to the official site for Dedeaux's company, Train3DQB, here is the type of program that has been designed for Wentz and other NFL quarterbacks: 

"Learn proven cross-specific training programs and exercises that will help athletes improve their game time performance, motion, and movement mechanics. Increase their upper-body strength, flexibility, power, and muscle endurance, while achieving maximum performance and minimizing risk of injury. More importantly, hone your ability to manage mental and emotional management of high level competition."

4) How Dedeaux helped Brees: The New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees addressed how Dedeaux and House helped him improve his game in his autobiography: 

"He didn't just deal with the physical; he worked on the whole person - the mental and emotional components as well. He tackled everything from sleep patterns and diet to attitude and awareness."

5) What Wentz is likely looking to improve: After starting the season with three straight games without an interception, Wentz threw 14 INTs over the final 13 weeks of his rookie season. In his time with Dedeaux, Wentz will likely focus on improving his footwork -- which is an issue Eagles head coach Doug Pederson addressed, dating back to OTAs last spring -- and remedying a hitch that developed in his throwing motion late in the year.

Idiotic way of developing a QB, everyone knows you redshirt and hide the guy in closet for at least two years.

"McClowns the starter". Get used to hearing this every week while the QB we drafted at 3 AND outperformed McClown holds a clipboard.....no scratch that...is inactive because Bridgewater is holding the clipboard (he also looked better than McClown in preseason)

Yep and Bowles will keep responding "it's not his time yet"

Carson Wentz is special he can’t be used as a comparison IMO because of his rare photographic memory to go with his top QB physical skills.
