Haha, my brother has 4 sons plus two 2 step sons. The tradition lives on and there is a “John the V” and he looks just like him too. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

Carson Wentz sounds confident that he'll be able to jumpstart his career in Indianapolis.
The 28-year-old quarterback, who was shipped from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Colts after a disastrous 2020 season, believes that his past difficulties will help him prepare for this new chapter.

How did he torch the locker room, especially the receivers? What does that even mean?

Re: What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.
Hurts was a Heisman candidate on 2 different powerhouse college teams, drafted in the second round.
Why on Earth SHOULDN'T he try to compete for the starting role? Hell, I expect Easton to be competing for the starting spot. If he's not trying, what's even the point? Just kick back and collect your paycheck?

Re: What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.
When you play as awful as Wentz did last year you don't need anyone's help to get the divas (aka receivers) grumbling. He didn't get much help from them or his o-line but let's not kid ourselves that a lot of Wentz's problems were due to his own play. I think it was mostly a between the earholes thing so hopefully Reich and company can help him out with that and his new receiving corps in Indy will take care of themselves as long as Wentz is a productive passer and they're winning.

Wentz should have just thrown all check downs all last season.

If you believe that Hurts was a Heisman candidate at Alabama, I’ve got some property for sale in West Fargo with a nice ocean view that you might be interested in. Haha.

The only thing Hurts did better than Wentz was run and that will change if he has to keep running. Hurts will be replaced after this season for the same reasons. He will be blamed for ineffectiveness, as well. Meanwhile, the eagles do the minimum to protect the qb or find guys who can hold onto the ball.

Re: What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.
I think the key question regarding Wentz is which of 2 scenarios is the case:
1. The 2020 issue was mental, frankly understandable when he had 2 years of poor WRs, no RB, injuries to solid TEs, and degrading O line play. He had the same issues in 2019 and did a remarkable job getting the Eagles to the playoffs, but likely developed a mental process of needing to be a superman and do it all outside of a team framework. In 2020, lack of good WRs clearly led him to a lack of trust in releasing the ball in a timely manner, resulting in missed windows and getting sacked far too often.
2. The concussion of 2019 + wear and tear of ACL + physical impact of 100's of sacks on his body has had a greater effect on his physical/mental skills that are permanent and likely to lead to an earlier career finish, ala Andrew Luck.
I am both guessing and rooting for #1 to be the case. I think Indy will have a great year under Wentz.

Two NFL teams under 50% vaccinated. Washington and the Colts.

Re: What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.
4 actually, with an overall rate of 70 % for the NFL
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...cination-rate/
"The Associated Press, which first reported the news, also said that roughly 70 percent of all NFL players are vaccinated and that Washington is one of only four teams, along with the Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers, with less than half of the roster inoculated."

Players have the right protest shit these days. Non vaccinated lives matter.

Re: What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.
Yes they do, and so they will, especially these days …
My point was that 70% is actually pretty dang good. Much better than the national average, and close to the highest rates among the individual states. Way higher than MN …
How are the Bison doing?

Good question. How many more college football players will we allow to die because of this pandemic before people begin to take it seriously?

Where are we at now for this stat, like 1 or 2?
I'm more interested in them being able to play an uninterrupted schedule this fall. I assume that the NCAA will impose severe testing requirements – with severe consequences for positives – for players/staff that are not vaccinated.
I don’t care if you guys get the jab, but I do care if the team does. Not so much for their health, but for my own personal sports entertainment. How’s that for brutal honesty and blatant self interest?
But enough thread drift. I hope CW totally shreds it with the Colts this season, vaccinated or not.

I've seen mentioned on twitter that the big 12 said something along the lines of, "if you can't play you forfeit." Interesting to see if teams take an L due to positives or position groups getting decimated. What stance will the valley take? Anyone heard any news on that?

Good question. The only Google search result I could find was about a guy that died whose team wasn't playing. His school retracted the article saying they couldn't confirm Covid anyway. Is anyone aware of a source summarizing deaths and causes? Maybe there are many reasons to shutdown the season and multiple outside activities to limit to protect players and fans.
