And he's going to show up and run the offense if/when he does.
Wentz showed the least of any of the backups we've had in a situation like this during the Reid era. He just didn't demonstrate a single positive trait on Sunday.
I'll say what I say about coaches -- I don't need a reason to fire one. I need a reason to KEEP one. And I didn't see any reasons to retain Wentz yesterday.
Coaches see more than I do so if they wanna keep him, so be it. But there was nothing positive to take away from that game.

Gabbert was awful last year going against a backup opponent too, and that’s the difference.
Mahomes would not have won that game Sunday with the cast of characters we put out there AGAINST that particular opponent under those circumstances.
I still think we aren’t considering enough the impact that elbow shot had. Wentz was not nearly that inaccurate in the preseason and then looks like that? Doesn’t make any sense.
