Re: What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.

This is team game so yes it is hard to see in some respects. Too many people focus solely on the QB for both wins and losses. If wins were all that mattered Trent Dilfer would have been given the opportunity in 2001 after he helped the Ravens win a Super Bowl, but he wasn't.
At this point they should not switch QBs and Heineke should start, but Heineke stats are not good and reality is they had line injuries early. The line still is not very good at all so it hasn't necessarily improved that much with Heineke either, but it has solidified after losing the starting center at the end of the Lions game.
I am hoping Wentz gets out of there after the season and goes and becomes a backup and gets another shot somewhere after healing up. He needs to be out of the eye of the media for a little bit cause he is still a 12-20 rated QB in this league and can succeed for a few more years somewhere with the right talent around him.
If it flies it dies.
Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.
