Look how Rivers performed if we had 1 o lineman out he looked terrible as well after that browns game I was ready to bench his ass. So yes a solid offensive line and not feeling like it’s up to you to do it all I believe he will have a big season
As for brisset I believe how he handled the injury changed everything, if Big Q didn’t stomp his foot no telling what could’ve been but he was clearly never the same after the injury

Still, that doesn’t explain Wentz’s mechanics breaking down or poor decision making, or the reason he was worst in the league at one step drops. It’s not all on his teammates. You just read an article about him fixing his mechanics, where he talks about fixing them. Does that sound like the fertile ground for an MVP type season?
1 o-line, you mean Castonzo? The most important person on the line? Yeah, your protection goes to shit if you lose your LT, because no one has any tackle depth. You need protection for him because he’s a statue, but you can win with that type still. Brady just won the super bowl again. So let me get this straight, it’s Rivers fault because he lost his LT, but it’s not Wentz fault because his oline was injured.
The problem is Wentz has more at issue than just a bad team around him. That’s why he was for trade. Rivers didn’t have that besides a declining arm and he’s not mobile. I hope Wentz turns it around. But I’m not expecting him to do it in one training camp. I think there are going to be some growing pains.
Then why isn’t Brisset starting now? He wasn’t injured the next year. Why did they feel compelled to get Rivers? Because Brisset lacked the mental aspect. He couldn’t throw with anticipation. He couldn’t throw a guy open, he would not throw downfield. Teams just caught up to him. You started to see it before he got injured. The injury just reduced his escapability. He wasn’t able to buy time till he felt comfortable releasing the football. If there was a chance Brisset was an MVP, the last two off seasons would have been completely different.
