WC didn't fan on Wilson & Rogers, WC was never in the batters box to begin with. For an organization as poorly regarded as WC, getting Wentz is as close to a home run as they can get.

If he becomes a free agent you can't guarantee he would come here, plus you have to offer him a new contract.

Really, you'd give them two or three years of guaranteed money? Also compete with other teams and overpay for them?

Means nothing. Two teams who don't have good QB options said no thanks. Two teams that see him every single day. That's way more important and really tells the real story over his stats. His stats have no substance what so ever.

I am not in love with this move, but he is (nearly every QB would be) the best QB we've had since Kurt Cousins.

He's had success. Not a great completion %, but good QBR. Doesn't throw a lot of INTs compared to TDs. He's had a couple injuries - but I think he's only missed 8 games due to injury in 6 years. That's not bad. He was benched for Jalen Hurts in 2020, but that was a B A D team, and they had to see what Jalen Hurts could do. Looked good last year, but tailed off at the end apparently.

Ok. Welp, I'm not going to cry and whine about it. At least they are trying to do something. Whether it's Wentz, Winston, Trubisky...neither blows me away, but neither one of they was going to make everyone happy. Looks to be a fair deal - I'm curious to see if he and ST can take this team to the next level.

Yes, I would give them two years of money and keep my draft picks. W/out question. Every team in the NFL has overpaid players. Wentz is vastly overpaid at 28 million next year. Trubisky would cost way less than that. You could pay him 28 million over two years.

Is Wentz any better than Mitch? No.

And like I mentioned, a 3rd round pick is our best player and you just gave two years of those away for a guy who isn't wanted.

Our front office sucks.

Put up Wentz vs Dak and you’d be surprised.

The first full blooded Commanders QB.

Come on, sing it with me:

And you think today is going to be better
Change the world and do it again
Give it all up and start all over
You say you will but you don't know when
Then it's back where you started
Here we go round again
Day after day I get up and I say
Come on better do it again

Just because there was a possibility of him being released, doesn't mean that there wasn't competition for his services.

What a stupid fucking trade!! Gave way too much for a washed up QB, Jimmy G. Would have been better

So what. Why are they so hell bent on getting him in the first place? Go get Mitch or Mariota. It's not like Wentz is any better than those guys. You'd land one and keep your draft picks.

Jordan Love would be better than this guy, who ruined the colts chances in the last 3 games. He sucked horribly!!
