Welcome Carson Wentz

He was No. 9 overall in QBR last year. Oh the horror of having him be the starting QB for X team in 2022. The horror!!!

Fuck Snyder and fuck our team (our team hasn't earned respect), it's flat out disrespectful to the man himself.

Media loves their narratives. Just an excuse to be lazy imo.

The media is not only ignoring recency bias, but also the fact that an NFL owner put in a full blown smear PR campaign against Wentz that EVERYONE is buying into.

I'm not going to drink the Kool-Aid and say that Wentz is going to be this great elite QB and whatnot. But what drives me crazy about all of this lazy journalism is that I ask myself: did these MF'ers see the QB play this team has had in the past couple of years? Any of them catch the gazillion wounded ducks that Heineke threw last year? Wentz may end up being an average QB, but that's a huge upgrade over the terrible QBs we've had in this team.

FYI, Heineke had a better YPA than Wentz last year.

69, I’m gonna get you a Wentz jersey after he leads us to the playoffs this year.

Yet he still managed 27 TDs and 7 INTs. Imagine how much better he will be now that he has an O-line that can pass-block, and some legit weapons besides J Taylor.

Actually they were the same at 6.9

Both better than Josh Allen so I guess we're set

It's the red hair. In all seriousness I really don't see how this isn't a marked improvement in QB play from last year.

Irsay's smear campaign worked apparently

Irsay is off the rails but I wouldn't call it a smear campaign.

Wentz blew the last two games.
Win 1 and youre in.

In the final two games: Combined!
33/57 (58%) Att/Comp
333 Yards
2TD/1INT

The two defense they played were ranked 26th and 29th in team defense.
Wentz and the rest of the O shit the bed.

Has it deserved Irsay constantly bringing it up all off-season though? Sometimes he’s not even asked about it and he brings it up. Almost seems personal or something. If it’s not a smear job I don’t know what is.

The Colts D didn’t exactly come up big against Jax too.

Exactly. He's been seemingly going out of his way to comment on it whenever a microphone is in front of his big mouth. Pretty classless. I can't wait until we play Indy. Blow the doors off 'em and see what he has to say then...

We couldn’t blow the doors off of anybody but yes Irsay is a classless pos. Hopefully Carson at least carves them up and we win 37-33.

Those two games are after Wentz got COVID.. From my personal experience, it took me almost one full month to fully recover before I could resume lifting weights. To summarize my weightlifting background, I have been lifting weights since I was in high school and I'm 34 years old now, so there is no question about my commitment to lifting weights. And yet I felt weak and had no motivations to lift weights after I recovered from COVID about 2 weeks later. It wasn't until the 4th week where I finally started to feel like I have energy to lift weights.

So I cannot imagine what it is like for Wentz to play only 1-2 weeks after getting it. On top of that, he is not vaccinated so he might had it worse than I did (I'm vaccinated).

If Wentz was the QB for the Eagles again, I bet you the media would say they are still the favorites in the east

[skinsfan69]

In 8 starts Wentz didn't break 200 yards. In one start against NE he had 57 yards passing...lol.

[Chief X_Phackter]

His O-line last year was ranked 30th in pass blocking efficiency...but I guess he should have somehow overcome that and taken them to the promise land. LOL

Look, I'm sure he could have played better. Should he shoulder some of the blame? Sure. Maybe he should washed his hands more, or worn a better mask, and not contracted COVID prior to the Raiders game... but the whole team as a unit could have played better down the stretch, and Coaches could have coached better.

It's just nuts how this guy is getting all the blame for how his teams performed over his last two seasons. If you are on that wagon, you aren't looking at the whole picture.

We'll see how he does...my guess is he'll shut a lot of people up pretty quickly.
