Welcome Carson Wentz

Swarley · 03-09-2022, 11:03 PM

I like the move, my biggest problem with it is that for whatever reasons 3rd round picks have actually panned out for us in recent years. Probably our best value round overall.

Alot of you guys will eat some Wentz crow this year.

I like the move. If we can add a stud WR in the 1st round, the offense could take a huge step forward. Regardless of your opinion on Wentz, he is a HUGE upgrade over Heinicke, whom I still love as a backup.

Happily, but I won't be holding my breath. Thos guys is a choker and a fumble machine.

I feel way better about going into 2022 with Wentz than I did going into 2021 with Fitz. So for me, it was a good move. The only outcome you can honestly say would have been better - for sure - is if they were able to land Wilson/Watson/Rodgers. They took a big swing for Wilson, Rodgers went back to GB, and Watson is still in legal limbo.

I'm not exactly sure what you debbie downers expect the team to do. They swung for the fence and ended up with a stand-up triple. I'll take it.

You can upgrade the roster all you want but if you put Heinicke as the Rams starter they don't win 8 games.

Its all about the QB and WC just upgraded.

I say a blooper single.

My reaction to Wentz being traded is simple.

He has this season to save his career as an NFL starter.

What is odd to me is why did the colts give up on him? Especially Frank Reich. I watched the first hard knocks episode last night, that guy loved Carson. They don't have a QB in the wings and we gave them really nothing to solve that issue in the trade.

I can see why the Eagles moved on from him, they had Hurts who they feel is better, fine and that got a 1st round pick for Carson.

Just red flags too me.

Here are some lowlights of our future:

I bet Carson doesn't come to us if he had won that JAX game.

On passes 20 plus yards down field CW had a 90 Overall grade which was in the top 10 of the league for starting QBs

Taylor H = 56 (Worst among 32 starters)

That is the big leap we will have with Wentz, he can stretch the field and put pressure on those DBs.

Exactly, he had an awful game and their owner and GM had a knee jerk reaction,

Several Colts players have tweeted that he will be missed..

If you watch hard knocks you will see that dude is always in the film room and is just a likeable dude.

skinsfaninok · 03-10-2022, 08:08 AM

Actually Wentz and Dak's grades are very similar..

I rather be a Commanders fan next year then a Colts fan.
