Not always a Greeny fan, but for me, he hits it on the head. I'll ride with whatever. I as a fan certainly don't know better, and I guarantee he does. I know this question is mostly 24/7 sports talk fodder, but if the hand is so hot that KOC is inclined to ride, do we care in the very short term? Nobody is giving up on JJ and Wentz will need to play very, very well for this to even be considered. Can Wentz carry the team a bit in crunch time? Can he be consistent? So much to be seen yet for this question, but like I said, its what carries the week of sports talk. Like Penix is fielding ridiculousness now on whether he's the guy and will Houston be drafting a QB next Spring, lol. The micro in sports media is always goofiness mostly.

I'd love to somehow eek out two wins in Europe and turn it back over to McCarthy. I'm with you, I dont see Wentz going supernova hot but your point guard analogy is pretty good. Maybe JJ's return coincides with Donovan Jackson coming back. That will be the first time the starting unit on the O-line would be intact. I don't think the Steelers are world beaters, its a winnable game and Minnesota is favored.

I think unless Wentz just lights it up over the next two weeks, we have to go back to McCarthy after the bye, or at the latest, one week later against the Chargers. But I have a feeling it's going to be a controversial decision. The NFL, its fans, its media, sees only wins and losses and will largely be blind to the fact that Wentz is playing with a much healthier surround than McCarthy did the first two weeks.

I know that training a young QB isn't always going to look pretty, but its unavoidable to go thru the ups and downs of the process. Just have to steel our stomachs for it and hope it all is worth it.
I dont think you bring JJM back on the road agaisnt a good Chargers team. If you can't start him at home agaisnt the iggles, then wait for the next home game against a softer opponent, assuming Wentz is still playing decent ball.

Then why wait until the chargers as MB suggested? Fist game back could be the Browns, or Iggles. I dont see the chargers on the road being any easier than the eagles at home in terms of a softer relaunch opponent. It's either his development or going after the playoffs, both could happen, but one has to be the priority.
