Carson Wentz didn’t leave his problems in Philly. He took them with him.

Carson Wentz didn’t leave his issues behind by leaving the Eagles. You don’t just develop mental toughness and better practice habits because you and your family get a new address.

He’s still the guy that former colleagues, on more than one occasion, have called a bad teammate (something he admitted to). Sure, you can blame the offensive line for some of his regression in 2020, even though we’ve heard the stories about his practice habits and anyone that does a little research can see that blaming the line doesn’t tell the entire story. Carson Wentz threw 12 picks and had the worst completion percentage when he wasn’t pressured. You didn’t know that, did you?

The fact of the matter is this. Carson Wentz is a good guy for the most part and has a lot of growing to do, as we all do, but he’s also lacks mental toughness. Something is wrong upstairs, and a change of scenery doesn’t fix that. 11 isn’t leaving his problems behind him. He’s taking his issues with him to a new locale. There’s a huge difference.

If you can’t see that, you’re a fan that probably hasn’t developed the ability to take their emotions out of the argument. Either that or you see 11 through rose-colored glasses (or both). There’s nothing wrong with that. It just is what it is.

Oh, you disagree? Think about this for a second. When Nick Foles left this team, his colleagues built a shrine to Number 9 in his locker. Ask yourself a serious question. Do you see anybody doing that for Number 11? Let that sink in for a second.
