Talking to my brother yesterday I told him it looked to me like it did when McNabb was given Thrash and Pinkston as a receiving corps.
There isn't a receiver on this team. Now in all fairness going into the season it looked pretty solid. Alshon was expected to be much better and much healthier than he has shown. Agholor was coming off a much better year than his previous years. JJAW was a highly touted draft pick. Signed the speed guy Jackson to pull the secondary off Ertz/Goedert. Yada Yada because it didn't turn out that way. So I can give Howie some slack on that.
I will however say as I did a few weeks ago that it looks like Wentz is trying to carry the team and it impacts his play. As MD has also noted there are high throws and not hitting guys in stride too often. Of course holding the ball to make some exceptional play when there is a quicker option to let loose on. In fairness these receivers aren't getting much separation and rarely can one of them find the downfield. Part of the high throws has to be attributed to having defenders right in his face and he is trying to throw over them. I would also say that for some reason he isn't very comfortable with some of the receivers. Not sure what is up there but the only real comfort he seems to have is with Ertz/Goedert. Anyway he is just not playing loose-- much like McNabb with crap receivers.
Bottom line is that Wentz is here. Coaches-- don't care. Doug needs to reevaluate the coaching staff because having four years in a row with a different WR coach and different QB coaches can't go on. He needs to find a better staff. Then they have to look at the receivers. Personally I think JJAW is the only one who has to be back. Otherwise they can all go. I know that isn't likely but there isn't one guy on the WR corps that I would fight for. Do you have anyone?
