The Facts: In the wake of his trade to the Colts, SI.com's Albert Breer shares some thoughts from the Eagles perspective, noting that when Wentz was at his best, he had a good cop (HC Doug Pederson), medium cop (OC Frank Reich) and bad cop (ex-QBs coach John DeFilippo) working with him. After Reich left for Indy and DeFilippo for Minnesota post-Super Bowl, the Eagles promoted Mike Groh to OC, and Groh assumed the bad cop role. He and Wentz clashed and Groh was fired as a result, while Press Taylor, who Wentz was close with, ascended. "As a result," Breer wrote, "perception in the building grew that the Eagles were coddling him, and that Wentz couldn’t handle hard coaching."

Diehards Line:Breer went on to suggest that in the locker room, Wentz struggled to connect with some teammates. It wasn’t that Wentz was a bad guy (in fact, he’s commonly seen as a really good-hearted guy off the field). As Breer heard it, it was more that he just couldn’t relate with every corner of the locker room. And Nick Foles’s place as a pied piper among the players—a guy who could build strong relationships with everyone—only highlighted the issue. ... Now moving on to the Colts with Reich at the helm and Taylor on the staff, Wentz gets a fresh start. We'll be watching to see how it goes.
