Surprisingly, Wentz has been more effective than Browning or Rush. He's not good, but that's why veteran QB2s are QB2s. QB1s and LTs make so much because there are more jobs than there are people on earth who can do them well.
The larger concern is the comment that JJMC needs to be pain-free. In the quiet words of Gust Avrakotos, excuse me, what the eff? Bluntly, playing in the NFL isn't good for humans--but it's a volunteer army. Being pain-free isn't supposed to be part of the equation for whether a guy plays. I don't imagine Jackson, delaying surgery, was pain-free in the Cincy game. Most QBs would use tape, toradol and get out there.
Things would look much different with an established center, what are your thoughts on trading with the winless Jets for Joe Tippman, maybe a 2nd round pick?
Definitely a must win this week with the lions and the ravens, with Lamar presumably, coming up on the schedule. Realistically, you need to sneak through those games at 5-4 to set yourself up to make the playoffs.
I think they should be more worried about getting the defense up to speed. Also, the O-line needs more time together...work on the run game. How about Wentz or JJ getting the time the Philly O-line gave Hurts. That would be nice. One player [even though it is the QB] does not make the team.
