Philadelphia is a football town, so the debut of a potential franchise quarterback is not one that can fly under the radar. Carson Wentz’s first game helming the Eagles will capture all the headlines, but Joel Embiid’s first time suiting up for the Sixers is more important for long-term aspirations.
CSN Philly’s Marshall Harris has taken some heat for his excitement level relative to the respective premiers of the new Philadelphia stars:
This cat @AngeloCataldi is trying to kill me for being more excited for Joel Embiid's debut than Carson Wentz's debut. Not.
