NFL quarterback Carson Wentz responds after his own coach names him as team's weakness

Carson Wentz has had a rough few seasons after what looked to be an extremely promising start to his NFL career. In just his second season, he looked poised to be named the league's most valuable player (MVP), but sadly suffered a torn ACL which would keep him out of the rest of the season.

That would be the year that the Eagles would go on to win the Super Bowl, with back-up quarterback Nick Foles leading them to victory over Tom Brady's New England Patriots, giving the Eagles their first ever championship in the process. Wentz would come back the following season, but would struggle, and after two mediocre years, they had drafted their replacement - current Eagles starting quarterback and MVP frontrunner Jalen Hurts.

Wentz would be traded to the Indianapolis Colts, where he was roundly criticised for a number of poor plays before being traded again to the Washington Commanders this season.
