He couldn't fix Brissett and 16 games into a sixth season for Wentz he still looks like a rookie a lot of the time. Hope the Colts don't lock him into an expensive extension because he needs to prove it beyond this year's spotty play.

Luck’s most efficient season was with Reich. Rivers was much better with Reich than he was the previous year in San Diego. Wentz’s best years have been with Reich. Hell, Brisetts best 1/2 season was with Reich. You can’t expect him take a shit starter and turn him into Peyton Manning. Shit don’t work that way. As frustrating as Wentz has been, he’s definitely improved from last year. You hope with a full offseason, no broken foot, and hopefully a full camp that he improves again next year.

As far as why Reich wanted him if he isn’t trusting him. I think Reich believes he can be tamed and the team was looking beyond just this year. He’s not as bad as this game. They can win with him. Time will tell if Reich can continue to mold him.
