Carson Wentz: Patience Only Lasts So Long
Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz finds himself in a familiar position: struggling for a team that relies on him.
Carson Wentz has been sacked 11 times in the last two weeks, more than anyone else in the NFL. He has posted a passer rating of only 63.9 in that time.
As a result, his Commanders team are 1 – 3 having lost three consecutive games. A Washington offense that averaged 27.5 points per game in their first two, have scored just nine points per game in their last two.

“There’s no sense of panic. There’s no sense of chaos around here,” Wentz said Wednesday, via NBC Sports Washington.Â
“We’re going into Week 5. We know how we’ve played (and) it wasn’t up to our standards. But at the same time, I know everyone in that locker room has a ton of confidence. We’ve seen spurts of what we’re capable of. … We know the sense of urgency that there is but there’s no panic by any means.
“We’ve got to find a way to win. Patience only lasts so long,” Wentz said. “We’ve got to find ways to convert, stay on the field, score touchdowns, score points and win some ball games.”

“He hasn’t been hanging his head; he doesn’t point fingers at all,” receiver Terry McLaurin said of Wentz. “He really takes a lot of that blame on himself. I think that’s admirable of him, but also, we could also do a better job helping him as his supporting cast making his job a little easier.”
