Posted August 18, 20204 yr I really hope he gets this figured out or our WRs/TEs are gonna take a beating...
August 18, 20204 yr Agreed, I noticed that on the few clips that are out there. This has to be fixed.
August 18, 20204 yr Deliberate attempt to confuse opposing defensive coordinators!!!! Come the season, he will be more on target.

Hoping for a couple of 50 yard TD's a game isn't a sustainable long term winning strategy, they need to be able to pick up quick slants when the line is having a bad day, sailed short passes were a problem all last year.
August 18, 20204 yr Actually shocked a decent number of folks in the thread acknowledged Wentz's issues with throwing high. I'm sure the "you don't know football" reinforcements are coming, though.

Nothing new with him throwing high, he's going into year 5 it's a bad part of his game at this point.

Personally i think he sometimes throws too hard when he doesn't have to and releases too soon. But I'm just an armchair coach. 🤣
August 18, 20204 yr Eli Manning threw high as well. Look where that landed him. You can get away with it nowadays because the defenders can't lay out players much. 10+ years ago the slot wasn't nearly as productive as it is today because receivers were obliterated over the middle of the field. Not anymore.

As a backyard and street football legend like myself, I've had this issue from time to time😉 You're spot on.
August 18, 20204 yr He has too much power in his arm. Someone needs to cancel bicep curls for september

August 18, 20204 yr He needs to plant his feet. It's always his feet and that should no longer be an issue for him. Wentz... he makes me wonder sometimes.

THAT's when it becomes an issue. C'mon Wentz, get your shi* together!

Weird post. Today's NFL is won entirely by offenses that can execute chunk plays, aka a deep ball. If you can't execute those, there is no spacing, and you have the exact slow moving, 15 play drives that the Eagles were forced into last season. 15 play drives are awesome when they work, but there are way too many opportunities for turnovers and penalties. Those 50 yard bombs are exactly what were missing from this team all year after Desean was hurt.

Those 50 yard bombs are exactly what were missing from this team all year after Desean was hurt. OK so first up, I didn't say we shouldn't attempt long passes, I said basing your entire offense on getting two long touchdowns (one of which is a blown coverage) isn't a sustainable winning strategy, why don't you go back and watch last season, watch how many drives stalled because Wentz sailed a three yard swing pass or quick slant 3 feet above the receivers head, it's an issue for the team. By the bye the top two teams in terms of passing TD's last year were the Saint's and the Ravens, and they both had less than ten 40yard plus plays as did the 49ers (we had 6).
