Blaming Wentz for the loss to Jax is pretty lame. The Colts D got carved up in that one.

I honestly think Irsay's view is skewed by the talent he's become accustomed to at the QB position. When you have 20 years straight of Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, followed by a still-solid Phillip Rivers, it's easy to see how you could have very high expectations for a QB to put a team on his back and get it done in the clutch.

The team got to the point where it needed Carson to deliver and he vomited all over the field.

But boiling down a 27-7 season to a few moments in the clutch at the end runs the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. When you step back and look at it, Carson's 2021 season had a lot of good, and there was some bad. But I don't think he's going to find it to be any better with Matt Ryan. If anything, it'll be worse because Ryan's a statue.

Irsay viewed Carson as trash compared to what he has enjoyed for so long. Reality is he was 'fine' last year. Fine to one man might be trash, here Fine is like solid gold. We haven't had Fine since Cousins.
