The relationship between Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Carson Wentz, hasn't gotten off to a great start with Bradford refusing to report to workouts or reply to Eagles staff members.

Understandably, Bradford is upset that the Eagles don't think enough of him to win in the long term and his rookie counterpart may tend to agree.

Wentz recently said in an interview with NBC, captured by Kyle Scott of Crossing Broad, that he elects to watch quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers instead of Bradford.

"Yeah I've seen him play a little bit. I obviously know he was a top pick and everything. Not too many years ago," Wentz said in the interview. "Obviously I know he was with the Rams and everything and now here I haven't watched a ton of film on him. I watch film on guys like Brady and Manning and Rodgers and those type of things.

"So I don't know as much as some of those other guys."

Wentz may not get to study his new teammate much in person if Bradford continues to hold out for a trade. He's probably better off to continue what he's doing considering Rodgers, Brady, and Manning have combined to average 2.33 Super Bowl wins and 3 MVP awards a piece.
