He simply did a poor job this season as it's his job to get the most out of Wentz and he didn't do that. Maybe Wentz is done and a bust which I certainly won't argue with but when QB's fail usually the coach plays a role in some capacity.

As for Agholor he has no issues tracking balls and actually made some really difficult catches so maybe it was a career season or maybe the offense wasn't a fit for his skills as the Raiders primarily used him to stretch the field kind of in the manner they envisioned Ruggs would or will one day. I did watch enough Eagles games to see him play poorly there so I will chalk that up to a change of scenery and a better fit adding to his confidence. That said I don't want the Raiders overpaying him in free agency as overpaying guys that come off career seasons rarely ends well.

As for Foles I think he's one of those inconsistent pocket passers that needs everything perfectly in place to have success. I think Reich figured out how to put those things in place and Pederson simply used the same blueprint in 2018.
