Rivers was sacked 19 times last year. Wentz was sacked 55 times last year. Assuming we fill LT appropriately. I think that number should be similar to Rivers numbers.
So if he plays smart enough and protects his body, it will come down to him working on his mechanics and working with his s receivers.

He also held the ball too long at times last year. Reich has 3 things to fix with Wentz: 1) Remove the hero ball mentality altogether 2) Lots of film room work to get his decision making back to peak 3) Fix the mechanics of his throw so he doesn't pigeon toe, thereby maximizing his throw power and removing some of the bad interceptions he threw from unnecessary hip torque and bad throwing angles last year.
The part about the mechanics you can actually test yourself. I tried it once (purposefully pigeon toeing while attempting throwing mechanics) and instantly felt how much the rest of my body, especially core, hips, and shoulders, would need to compensate to get a throw on the correct trajectory. In full speed live action, it would be impossible.
