Philadelphia can be an unforgiving sports town and Carson Wentz is all the rage after his disappointing outing against the Seattle Seahawks in which he accounted for four turnovers and missed several easy throws in the process and seemed to be pressing all afternoon.
Wentz has been without his full arsenal of offensive weapons and his game has suffered without DeSean Jackson or Alshon Jeffery for long periods of time. Wentz is already taking heat from the local media and now one former Eagles star believes he’s destined to fail in the City of Brotherly Love.
While a guest on FS1’s Speak For Yourself, Vick was asked if Wentz would fail in Philadelphia, and his response is likely to once again divide the fan base.
Vick on Wentz:
“He will fail in Philadelphia.” “I think the bar has been set so high by Nick Foles, who won the Super Bowl and now a ceiling has been set.”
Vick went on to allude to anonymous reports questioning Wentz’s character and leadership skills over the past two seasons as well.
Vick believes that Wentz is fighting an uphill battle trying to impress teammates, the fans and the city, all while trying to win games and that illustrious Super Bowl that Foles was able to bring home.
