Carson Wentz traded to the Colts | Page 6

Mertonschickendance · 2020-12-08T13:31:01-08:00

I know he's on a crazy high contract but if that can be reduced (not sure how) could he be a bridge QB w/ an opportunity to prove more? If he remained healthy in 2017 could've been MVP so the talent is (or was) there somewhere. Did injuries ruin how he plays or just overall dysfunction in Philadelphia?

Inside Carson Wentz's turbulent season and the forces behind his regression.

A perfect storm of organizational hero-worship, dubious coaching, injuries, poor roster management and Wentz himself led to one of the NFL's worst-ever QB declines.

Lol I like this guy. But seriously I need a TL;DR version of that Wentz story I don't care enough about the Eagles to read about the GM having fat head of his QB in his office.

TLDR Wentz can't take hard coaching. Doesn't follow through with the designed play. Essentially everything Kyle wants in PEOPLE, Wentz is the opposite.

But I still would like him on the team if he didn't have his contract or we didn't have to give up anything. But I guess that's fantasy land.

I would like to see what he could do with a good coach and some time to rebuild himself. Can't see any scenario that brings him to SF. The CO$T is prohibitive.

80 year old Alex Smith with a peg leg hitting his check downs every play > Wentz going through his progressions just to toss up the deep punt

Meh, not worth it. This guy is not worth the headaches, especially at that high salary of his.

No thanks. He'd make more sense in Indy, but not even sure they'll get a shot at him. New GM & HC...and a meddling owner in Philly. They want to see Wentz succeed but he was a mess in 2020. Good luck with that.

This coaching staff and Lynch have shown aversion to anyone regarded as a locker room issue or even outspoken players. And off the field issue players too since the Foster fiasco.

I don't think they touch Wentz at all. I don't think they go for Watson either, simply because he costs too much capital.
