”Those reports didn’t include the possibility of a major knee injury, followed the next year by a back injury that ended Wentz’s season after 11 games, followed the next year by a concussion that ended Wentz’s first playoff appearance in the first quarter.
The testing was physiologically and medically in every way you could imagine and in ways you never even heard of. Some day we can write a book about this if it works out,” Lurie said at the 2017 NFL owners meetings. “It was a very detailed and involved process.
As was apparent in the Eagles’ recent coaching search, Lurie is all about process, and when he spoke to reporters after Wentz’s rookie season, that was what he touted. ”The Eagles have never seemed surer of anything than they were when they drafted Wentz, after a draft process that included dinner in Fargo, N.D., with team owner Jeffrey Lurie. It’s fun to see Carson have the maturity to truly celebrate Nick’s success and understanding how he’s helping this team, and also with the frustration knowing that he wants to be in there. “Human nature tells you that’s hard to do, and it’s been fun to see those two do that. “To me, one of the greatest things about a person that you can say is when you see him celebrating somebody else’s success,” Reich said between the Eagles’ NFC title game blowout of Minnesota and their Super Bowl LII victory over New England. At the time, it seemed just a bump in the road for Wentz, who garnered praise for the assistance he provided Foles and his teammates. In retrospect, this circumstance, as odd as any in Super Bowl history, might have helped foretell what was to become. They also employ as a consultant Press Taylor, Wentz’s friend and quarterbacks coach with the Eagles from 2018 through 2020.Trading up twice in the 2016 draft, from 13th to eighth overall, then to second, to draft Wentz was Roseman’s masterstroke, the key to building the team that won Super Bowl LII, even though Wentz went down with two torn knee ligaments in that season’s 13th game and backup Nick Foles was the Super Bowl MVP. Their head coach is Frank Reich, who was the Eagles’ offensive coordinator in 20. The Colts were 11-5 in 2020, then saw quarterback Philip Rivers retire. Wentz heads for a much more promising situation. I think, for me, that’s what I’m most frustrated about.” I want to be the guy out there,” Wentz said. But obviously, that’s frustrating, as a competitor, and just the personality that I have. “I didn’t know what the plan was, fully, I was just told that he was going in for the next play and the next series, so I didn’t really know what was going on there. His 72.8 passer rating and 57.4% completion percentage each ranked 34th.Wentz spoke after the Green Bay game, then never again as an Eagle. Wentz, 6 for 15 for 59 yards that day, never took another Eagles snap, finishing the season with an NFL-high 15 interceptions, and 50 sacks.

6 loss at Green Bay.Īfter missing Zach Ertz and John Hightower to kill a series that began with a 41-yard completion to Dallas Goedert, the Eagles down, 20-3, Wentz found himself listening to Doug Pederson telling him that Hurts would quarterback the upcoming set of downs. But Wentz made puzzling decisions and missed easy throws as well before being benched in the second quarter of a Dec. Offensive line injuries - 14 different starting combinations - and a lack of healthy weapons that has plagued the team each year after the Super Bowl season of 2017 played a role in the quarterback’s demise. The skies darkened quickly during the Eagles’ 4-11-1 season in 2020, with Wentz showing a disastrous, uncharacteristic knack for throwing killer interceptions, and the Eagles’ offense unable to produce. And even then, it seemed barely conceivable, a distant rumble of thunder on the horizon. This all seemed completely unimaginable before the Eagles spent their second-round 2020 draft pick, 53rd overall, on quarterback Jalen Hurts. The trade can’t be made official until the 4 p.m.
The Eagles were left to take the Colts’ offer when Wentz would not agree to go to Chicago, which might have offered a little more, league sources said.
