It just feels like Wentz is done in Philadelphia. The organization has invested a ton of money in the former No. 2 overall pick, but the production just hasn't been there. Sure, the offensive line is banged up and a lot of his supporting cast has been in and out of the lineup over the last two seasons, but the staff has bent over backward in an effort to help Wentz, who's dealt with a number of injuries in his career, get back to his 2017 form by trying to run more plays out of shotgun and tweaking the play-calling routine. Nothing has worked, as Wentz tries to make "the play" on every down. The stark contrast of the offense's success when it's led by Jalen Hurts, as opposed to Wentz, further proves that the rookie is the future.
The best thing for Wentz would be to move on, though it's going to be tough for him because of his lucrative contract. If something can get figured out there, Wentz has the talent and potential to revive his career somewhere new with a coaching staff that believes in him. One landing spot that comes to mind is Indianapolis, as old friend Frank Reich was the Eagles' offensive coordinator in Wentz's first two seasons. There is potential for a turnaround from Wentz, it's just not in Philly.
