Nice deflection, Mr. I’m Not Man Enough to Admit I Was Wrong!
Yes, he is soft. I’ve NEVER heard of a starting QB removing HIMSELF from a playoff game before, have you?
For his long-term health, yes, it was the right decision. But don’t act like this guy is cut from the same cloth as QBs who put it all on the line for their teams.
Say, remember when you said Wentz had no idea where he was and couldn’t remember anything?
Yeah, that was a lie.
Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer, acknowledged that, according to “the independent certified athletic trainer spotters and unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants monitoring the game,” neither Wentz nor Clowney “seemed to exhibit behavior or symptoms suggestive of concussion” after Clowney speared Wentz in the back of the head.

Remember when you said it was your medical staff that made the decision, and it was out of Wentz’s control?
Yeah, that was another lie.
Here was Wentz, as vital to his team’s fortunes as any quarterback in the NFL, a still-emerging star, being honest enough to remove himself from a playoff game because of a head injury.
Understand: No one forced Wentz to leave the game. No one.
