I lost confidence in Wentz in one our our close losses last year that we should have won. I think it was the Tampa Bay game but someone correct me if I’m wrong. It was the second half after a very successful first half with JT running the ball. Inexplicably we went a second half exclusively throwing the ball and not engaging JT. I recall that in the day or so after the loss that Reich explained that Wentz had 8 or 9 RPO plays in his arsenal and called Pass every time.
Reich wasn’t one to throw a player(especially his protégée) under the bus so that stuck with me. Besides his bad decision making under pressure, he strikes me as a selfish player (A la Jeff George). He seems to need to be the hero/savior. A really good leader recognizes other talent and uses all those pieces to win. I wish him well in Washington unless he’s playing the Colts, but I don’t think this pattern of behavior is going to change.
