Doug Pederson is trying to win games this year, but he's also developing a young quarterback. Some coaches prefer to limit what a quarterback does. With Pederson, it feels like he has thrown Wentz into the deep end of the pool. Pederson has only done that because he believes so much in Wentz, both physically and mentally. He thinks Wentz is talented enough to help the team compete when throwing a lot of passes and also thinks Wentz is tough enough not to get down on himself when things don't go so well.
I am a firm believer that quarterbacks need to struggle to become great.
