I actually think Wentz wanting to leave boiled down to two things:
- Team drafted Hurts - He just was never able to look past that and his trust in the GM who drafted and extended him was gone.
- Philly was too big of a media market - He's a small town guy who just didn't do well with the the constant media storm.
These two worked against him all year long. Whenever he'd play bad the media would talk about Hurts.
To combine these and think of Chicago and know it's a bigger pure market. The same type of pressure would have been there, so heading to Indy is probably the best for his head.
I'm just going to throw something out there, the comparisons between how Rodgers responded to Love being drafted were often brought up when talking about the Wentz/Hurts. I agree with that on the surface, but that same pressure is way different when you it's coming from a ~100K populated town in Wisconsin and a ~1.6M populated major US city.
I'm definitely not making excuses for Wentz. I'm just trying to make sense of all this.
