It seems as though the model for winning in the salary cap era is to draft a franchise qb on a cheap rookie contract and build the team around him. Not by paying too much for an inconsistent FA QB and hope for the best.

Yep. This times 1000. Don't need to blow your entire cap money trying to field the all time defense. Just need a very good Dline and ok secondary. Now the cap is going to rob us of talent and we don't have a qb that makes up the difference. Pretty simple. We might have the best offensive firepower in the league with a great qb back there. Qb and oline this offseason

Eagles QB Carson Wentz, benched in favor of Jalen Hurts last month, still plans to ask for a trade in the off-season because his relationship with HC Doug Pederson is fractured beyond repair, per ESPN's @mortreport.

Philip Rivers will either return to Colts or retire in 2021; if veteran leaves, could Carson Wentz be an option? (per @RapSheet)https://t.co/SwdQNjthBN pic.twitter.com/admJ3uAMwI

Hurts is a good qb. This makes Wentz sound like a 13 year old schoolgirl. He is paid a lot of money. If I was another team's GM and I read this I would avoid him like the plague. He is supposed to be the linchpin of the entire team, he ought to be adult enough to handle a working relationship with the head coach.

It's weird because Wentz always came off as a great teammate and leader.

Damn As well coached and well constructed as the colts roster is. Can't be good constantly inserted in a new starting qb. Plus not sure how salvageable Wentz is at this point.

He played his best under Frank Reich. If any coach can bring him back, that would be the guy. Best situation for him to be in.

It would be. When it comes to the NFL, everyone is talented. It's all about your mental game at this point. For the sake of Wentz's career Reich could be the one to revive his career. Also would be a really good supporting cast around him.

Homers tend to over-rate their own players ... our offensive personel is above average but not near the top
OL = D ... very BAD, several holes
TE = A ... if we re-sign Reed, o/w is B+
WR = B ... there are many better WR groups, two good WR but the depth is below average
RB = B ... we will have two UDFA at the top of the depth chart both a little overrated because of Shanny offense

Only makes sense. I have a hard time believing he's trash.

Honesty is always appreciated. We don't even know what a healthy Aiyuk/Deebo combo looks like. We have the 3rd best duo in our own division. So I agree with that. 4 spots on that OL can be upgraded so yeah, gotta be real.
