I recall reading this back then and thinking it was click bait, mainly because it seemed to be so contrary to other news at the time (and not really wanting to believe it). Reading it now, after seeing doug's gameplan with foles v wentz v hurts, (latter in limited action of course), casts a whole new light on the issue.
It's interesting that the rookie year was Wentz's best, when rookies are obviously learning and perhaps the most humble? Tough for a rookie to change plays and take-over/influence an offense in a power-grab type scenario that this article alludes to. Perhaps Wentz has had less of a regression in terms of skill and more of a regression in actually listening to coaches and the gameplan.
Especially when so many injuries caused a gameplan to be more important than ever -- I mean, Week 1 with Jackson was more pass and catch and speed -- not as much strategy as you'd need when Ward Jr is your go to guy for a half the season.
