I’m not saying the team wasn’t bad. However the losses weren’t all due to the team. Since they had no running game of course the offense flowed through him, he was the only thing that could keep them in games. He either did, or did not.
However you are not accounting for the bad decision making, the turnovers, the bad mechanics. If was simply a matter of getting more talent they would have kept him. Teams dont bench a franchise QB for multiple games and they don’t trade him away when they are entering their prime. Especially if the QB under him has a lower ceiling. There was a reason we were the only suitor. Sure he could return to form, I would say the pieces are in place to do that. But to not admit there is significant risk associated with Wentz is just homerism. Luckily it looks like it is only a two year investment if he is average to bad.
What does it matter if it was a prime time game or not. Was it against equally horrible nfc east teams? They won four games.
