The best way to describe Carson Wentz as a quarterback so far this season is to use a basketball analogy. He's been a pass-first point guard in the Seven Seconds or Less Offense.

Playing within Doug Pederson's offensive scheme, Wentz has quickly identified his target, either before the snap or immediately after, and gotten the ball into that player's hands with regularity. Per Pro Football Focus tracking, on the 80 passes where Wentz has thrown the ball within 2.5 seconds of the snap, his pass has been completed 60 times and he has a quarterback rating of 113.3. (He's 31 of 54 with a 90.9 rating when taking 2.6 seconds or more to get rid of the ball.) Basically: he's a distributor.

What's another word for distributor, if the person you're talking about works in the food service industry? Server. Which brings us to this past week, when Wentz went back to North Dakota during the Eagles' bye and left his server a $500 tip on a $1,000 bill, per CSN Philadelphia.

[Herd and Horns] has become pretty synonymous with Wentz these days. ESPN and NFL Network have both broadcast from there. And Wentz held a private party in their back room last Saturday night, right after watching his alma mater roll to a 31-10 win over Illinois State. The party was a low-key affair, but waiters and bartenders were still swapping stories days later.

"As I was waiting on him, I had to look up. He is so tall," said Rachel, a junior at NDSU who works as a server at Herd & Horns. "He was very humble, especially as a guest. He didn't treat anyone like they were below him or anything."

(In case you're wondering, Wentz picked up the entire tab, $1,000 and left a $500 tip. He was whisked off by his cousin in a 1996 Chevy pickup truck. No frills.)

What a gentleman.
