McLane: Is Wentz's supporting cast stunting his growth?
Cliff Avril of the Seahawks hits Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz as he tries to throw the ball. Wentz fumbled the ball but the Eagles recovered it Sunday, Nov. 20, 2016, in Seattle.After a blistering three-game start, Carson Wentz has reverted into a more predictable pattern for a rookie quarterback.
One week he's up, the next he's down. The only constant has been the subpar play of his receivers. It is why any assessment of Wentz has to come with an asterisk. Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott, by comparison, has a supporting cast that is better at every offensive position.
Doug Pederson was asked if Wentz's forced passes downfield against the Seahawks were thrown out of frustration.
