If you really value the man and want him to be the QB, you want him to be healthy. They lost with him being way under par, and how many folks here were even surprised that he was so ineffective? He should have been rested for the week and much more healthy for the Dolphins. An immobile Wentz with a makeshift OL spells trouble. Let him get healthy, let Eason take the ferocious pass rush and let's see what Wentz can do when healthy and the O-line is in tact.

It's not the same exact situation, but this post reminds me of what team owner Branch Rickey said to Ralph Kiner when Kiner requested a raise after leading the National League in Home Runs for the 7th consecutive season in 1952 ...... "Son, we finished in last place with you, we can finish in last place without you."
