In the coming days and weeks, we’re going to hear a lot about Carson Wentz and confidence.
It’s the ghost that has tailed Wentz throughout his career, after all. We wondered how he could stomach Nick Foles winning his Super Bowl. We wondered how he could watch Foles needing to supplant him again the year after, or Josh McCown the year after that in a playoff game. We wondered how Wentz would exist in this kind of existential limbo; a player who always held the title of franchise quarterback but never cemented the credentials, through no fault of his own.
