Looking back on Carson Wentz’s ‘shocking’ exit from Colts | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports
Últimas noticias de fútbol y toda la actualidad nacional e internacional sobre el deporte rey Camisetas PERÚ
There were rumblings in Philly about what kind of person he is. That’s why Foles was a breath of fresh air.
Wentz fits perfectly in Washington
Frank Reich is a great coach
They realized Wentz at this point even Reich realized Wentz wasn’t the same as that magical 2017 season
Why keep looking back…. Move forward
This just proves that they don't pay attention to the Colts organization at all. Jim trusts Reich and Ballard with the organization and he will not fire Frank just because of one mistake. Being an analyst and legitimately thinking Frank was going to be fired just shows that you do zero research on the teams you cover.
Frank definitely co-signed Wentz I don’t think that was a terrible decision at the time but this is definitely an important season for Reich going forward
3 teams in 3 years. One great regular season 5 years ago. Looks like that was the exception and not the rule. He won’t be finishing his career in Washington. Wentz is beyond overrated. Look at what a team will give up to get rid of him.
Wentz didn’t miss any time with Covid so how are you going to say it “cost them”
how did him not getting vaccinated cost us? he played every single game
Tori Smith was just on GMF and said the complete opposite of who these guys say Carson is. Ballard doesn't even know what it's like to have a QB for 2 seasons. Irsay still thinks he is the GM. Ballard just collects his check.
Colts Offensive Line pass blocking efficiency – ranked 30th
Washington pass blocking efficiency – ranked 6th
Colts traded 1st and 3rd round picks for Wentz
Colts received two 3rd round picks for Wentz
Sounds like Colts throwing shade at Wentz to cover for their poor performance
Wentz looked like a bottom 5 QB the 2nd half of the season. Taylor and the D carried that team.
Let this be clear the colts aren’t going nowhere this season it’s a super bowl or bust year for the colts
Must be a slow news day.
How much of his game play was due to covid?
I think this is a classic example of bad things happening to good people. I'd heard all the stories about bad leadership, not accepting tough coaching and all that. Ballard said he told Wentz at one point, "Make the layups," apparently because he was making the easy stuff look hard. In that context, I guess the 27 TDs vs. 7 INTs don't matter. I don't think Frank Reich's job was ever in doubt, but it certainly took some convincing by Ballard and Irsay that Wentz wasn't a good fit after all.
We also lost 3 double digit leads aswell. Had a terrible kicker think it was Baltimore game .
Didn’t wentz get the eagles coach fired because he wasn’t anointed starter for life?
Then still wasn’t happy and got run out of Philly?
Good points
Washington will boot him out as well. He's just not starter material.
Simms with his liberal misinformation. Just basically said Wentz wouldnt havent gotten covid if he had the vaccine. We all know thats a lie.
27 tds and 7 ints is good.
Stop with vaccination BS. I am vaccinated and boosted and still tested positive for Covid this week.
So he's mediocre and no one likes him at all
Carson Wentz is trash he ain't no good
Hate that they still bring up Wentz vaccine status ignoring Darius Leanord being exactly the same. They seem to only mention a certain type of unvaccinate person. Lame convo at this point anyway
As a Washington fan…Wentz is playing on a better team than his Eagles super bowl team. This his make or break year as a starter
Simms’ hair looks painted on.
