Welcome Carson Wentz

[FrenchSkin]

2/2

From there starts a slightly concerning stretch of the game, couple of questionnable decisions/errand throws




This one is behind and too high, but he couldn't lead his receiver too much, otherwise he gets killed by the curl defender (incomplete pass)



Awful pick, don't know what he saw there...



Another floater (but there weren't many more of these)



Very nice play on 3rd down. Offense again unable to score on the following 4th and short run...



Amazing throw with a defender around his neck, Campbell unable to hold on



Final drive, there has to be a better angle that this but I thought he scored on this run, anyway called back by a (legit) holding call



Nice TD, he also connected on the 2points conversion, if you wanna say garbage time, that's fine, but he still made the plays


What do you guys think ? The more I look at it, the more I think it was mainly about the Colts GM having a knee jerk reaction... Not saying we're getting 2016/2017 Wentz, but talent is still there, and I'm leaning towards those leadership and mental issues being overblown.

BTW, I do it because I enjoy doing so, and I also think it's way more interesting to see those angles than just what we see on TV, but what do you guys think, is it interesting/useful to our conversations ?

I think it was the owner that had the knee jerk reaction, also had something to do with Wentz not getting the Vaccine I think. The stories coming out afterwards reek of the PR team trying to justify the move t protect he owner and the over inflated reputation of the Indy FO. The press seem to love them. Reich (the Indy HC) contacted Ron after the trade to talk up Carson which speaks volumes to me.

As for the Eagles, they canned their SB winning head coach only weeks after trading Wentz, so there was obviously some internal strife between the FO and Coaching staff which may well have had a significant effect on the players as a whole, especially Wentz if the FO was pushing for Hurts to be played. Only the year before Wentz single handedly took them to the playoffs with absolutely no help on offense.

Bottom line is he is a "Commander" now so I personally am choosing to be up beat about him as there is no benefit to being negative when I cannot change the situation.

I think that's a fair way to look at it. I try to be cautiously enthusiastic and objectively optimistic, but so far I really feel like a lot of the bad press on Wentz was some propaganda by the Colts + people loving to overreact (one way or the other) on NFL QBs. These guys are either the next GOAT or the worst bust ever...

I would agree with you about the Colts if this was his first team, but it's not. This is now two teams that have kicked him to the curb.
