Also, through 6 games each: Heinicke 61% pass completion rate; 7.0 yards per pass; TD pass rate 3.3% of completions; Interceptions 2.7%.
Wentz: 62% ; 6.4 yards; 4.3 % TD's; 2.6 % interceptions. Not a whole lot there says Heinicke is a lot worse. The biggest difference: Heinicke has 9 sacks (2.6% of snaps) vs 23 for Wentz (5.5% of snaps). Wentz didn't beat the Eagles, while Heinicke did.
Quality of competition: Current winning % for Weinicke opponents: 49% vs 54 for Wentz. None of this suggests Carson is superior.
Look, I like Carson Wentz. I wish him nothing but the best.
But if you're winning football games, you don't mess with success. You dance with the girl (or boy) that brung ya.
Quite a few of Heinicke’s yards came from ill-advised throws that he got lucky on. Wentz, for whatever reason, had no such luck. Did any of his receivers even catch a pass in double coverage. Heinicke has like 2-3 throws in double and triple coverage that were completed for long gains. Wentz wasn’t a world beater, but he has played better at QB than Heinicke. Heinicke has just had more guys make plays. However, luck usually regresses to the mean.

The colts are an absolute dumpster fire. Will Irsay blame wentz for this year as well? What a joke. Last year the team was completely overrated and had overblown expectations and literally just blamed everything on Wentz although Wolfie will blame it all on wentz. The oline was completely overrated and over paid.

While listening to Bison1660, I heard a coach say something about "made the easy things look easy."
That's the main thing Carson needs to work on.

I agree with you Carson doesn't always do this. But doesn't some of that come with having everything be settled in your job and personal life so that it is second hand? Shouldn't there be a little slack given for having to transition teams as it is not easy. Yes he had a very familiar coach in Reich which should have made it easier in Indy, but you still have to move a family and get acquainted with all new people on the team. That is not an easy thing to do and takes time. Same can be said at Washington. The hardest position to do this would be QB as most of the other positions are way easier to kind of come in and plug in. And yes don't compare it to what Brady did as he is the GOAT.

Wentz was 2-4. Heinicke is 5-1.

And the quality of QB play was a limited factor in the team's record for each of them.

Your narrative would be different if it wasn't the hometown guy.

I don't have a narrative - I watched the games.
