Carson Wentz Doesn’t Deserve Criticism Regarding His Mental Toughness

It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles have hit lightning in a bottle with their 2020 second-round pick Jalen Hurts. It’s also not a secret that Carson Wentz has taken a lot of criticism for his lackluster season that resulted in his benching two weeks ago. Many questions surround Wentz’s future with the franchise, but should he be criticized to the extent that he has been?

ESPN analyst Ryan Clark spoke on ESPN’s morning show “Get Up” Monday as he commented on Hurts’ performance in the 33-26 loss to Arizona Sunday. The segment included Clark criticizing Wentz as he called him “soft” and saying he doesn’t have the “Philly toughness” that Hurts has.
