Carson Wentz had his own problems and issues.

But Howie et al are villains in the way how they mind-f’d Wentz. ‘You’re our Franchise quarterback’ out of one side of the mouth then they draft Hurts in the first round.

They took Hurts in the second round but otherwise true about it being a punch in the gut to Wentz. In that draft when they took Hurts I knew none of this. I was 100% on the Wentz wagon and was outraged that they paid him big money and THEN took another QB high.

However it seems behind the scenes Wentz was a "me me me" guy and the locker room didn't like him. I was ticked off when they built a shrine to Nick Foles during the playoffs because I was like 'that's disrespetful to Carson!' but I now think that was exactly the point. Darren Sproles claimed that Wentz said he hoped the team lost since he wasn't playing.

But you have to know that Howie knew this stuff and he wanted a plan B. Good thing he did.

He kept getting hurt. And not progressing when he wasn’t hurt. NFL always stands for Not For Long.
