3. Wentz is handling those “growing pains” as well as anyone could expect

We thought Wentz would struggle against the Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He didn’t. He played extremely well in both games. We all were surprised about the loss to the Detroit Lions. We all probably figured the game against the Redskins could go either way. Through the whole process, we’ve seen exactly what we thought we’d see from a rookie playing NFL football. There are going to be some highs and lows.

Wentz realizes that. What’s encouraging is what we’ve always heard and continue to keep seeing. He’s been the same guy with the same attitude through success and failure. He’s kept a level head during the winning streak, and now he’s experiencing his first losing streak in the NFL. The coaches are giving him passing grades, and you have to believe we haven’t seen the best from him yet.

Check out his press conference from Wednesday if you haven’t seen it:

He’s continuing to keep his eyes down the field when the rush comes. There aren’t a ton of mistakes that are being made. He’s not turning the ball over and making things worse for his defense and his team. The wins will come.
