For several weeks there the Eagles were struggling, but their third-year quarterback was playing really well. The past few weeks, with the slide deepening into 4-6 territory, Wentz seems to be succumbing to frustration: forcing throws, trying to do too much.

Disappointing results might not get offensive coordinator Mike Groh and/or quarterbacks coach Press Taylor fired after just one season, but any hint that Wentz is displeased, or just isn't flourishing the way he did with former quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo and former offensive coordinator Frank Reich – that sort of thing could imperil the job security of just about anyone in any NovaCare office.
