What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.

Wentz had an up and down season that I thought was mostly positive. His struggles down the stretch hurt their playoff chances. He does sometimes really stuggle with timing and accuracy. It kinda shocks me they would move on so quickly especially given the less than stellar QB market right now. Do they have the capital to trade for Watson, ARod, or Wilson? Doubtful. They dont even have a 1st round pick this year (From Eagles ironically). Jimmy G is not better than Wentz.

He was great most of the season but when you fail at the most important juncture of the season vs a 3 win team, they won't put up that for they type of money he's getting paid. They just won't. Hopefully he gets another chance but I doubt it. Either way nobody will feel bad for a guy who made $100 million to play a kids game. Worst case scenario he makes a million a year to be a backup

Chapo, you have been McFooled. McFooley's column stances follow the following design:

1) Pick the most charged topic
2) Pick the most charged viewpoint of said topic

The End. He's admitted it himself. Wasting hot air only fuels his flame

I have never seen a guy get treated so hot and cold even here on Bisonville. People on here treated him quite poorly when he was hurt at NDSU and worked his butt off to come back and win the title for us after saving us the year before and I couldn't figure out exactly why. Kleiman never had a doubt who was starting. I am forever a Wentz fan as I told my son that when has there ever been a player drafted and starting as a QB in the NFL from where we live. I am also a realist by nature and believe he has had some average years statistically, but some of his plays have been downright ugly. But his stats in 2019 and this year were quite similar 27 TDS and 7 Int which simply is not bad at all. By the way this is with very average to poor (Eagles) receivers over the past few years. I think the Colts dump him because of the Owner being ticked about not being vaccinated, which is quite comical cause people that were vaccinated missed about as much time as Wentz did. I really wish they would give him one more year or that he ends up with the Vikes and their ridiculous receiving corp. For whatever the reason he is a lightning rod and I believe it is unfortunate.

You also have to consider that, even when he was great, you held your breath watching him, waiting for him to do something to screw it up...whether it was from trying to do to much, being stubborn, or just bad luck, he always seemed to be playing right on the edge...

wentz doesn't have good WR's at Colts, they couldn't create seperation.
wentz didn't play defense either.

wentz will be a top 15 QB in 2022

Quite a few of the great QBs were this way Elway, Favre, Jim Kelly. They are called gunslingers and it can be a headscratcher at times. Wentz is not at their level but he is still capable of leading a team but he is running out of chances.

I don't think Wentz has been the same since his ACL injury, and I am curious if he has lingering effects from his playoff concussion...or other things, too. His first two years in the league were pretty fun to watch. Was it two or three years ago in Philadelphia that he became the first QB ever to throw for 4,000 yards in a season without a WR with more than 500 yards? Pretty amazing.

Last season it was too tough to overcome a, what, 0-5 start? He should not have lost to the Jaguars. Or the Ravens. Or the Raiders. His stats were decent but I missed the leadership down the stretch. I thought his comeback against ISU-Red in the FCS championship game would be the sort of thing that would make him a winner in the NFL, but it just hasn't turned out that way.

Regardless, he's my favorite NFL player right now and brought me back into watching it occasionally when I given it up.

One final thought, his rookie cards on ebay should be dropping in price so it will be fun to get one of those.

There is something about him that doesn’t have a correct fit in NFL locker room. Heck, the NFL MVP this year is unvaxed (which I’m fine with). There is something with Wentz that isn’t a right fit anywhere in the NFL.

Someone here alluded to all of his early “off-field” stuff, like his charity so early in career, before he even established himself. NFL players have an internal hierarchy. Maybe Wentz overstepped and will never be forgiven. Not uncommon. Along with his tendency to think/feel he is Superman and throw the ball anywhere and everywhere without considering down/distance, game situation and actual need to do what he tries to force.

[EC8CH]

You are 100% correct. Can't explain that to the libtards here as they are blind to their own bias.

Or maybe the reality of what's actually written is able to be read and understood by the literate amongst us.

Something seemed to change after his COVID diagnosis. Some of this is based on the Hard Knocks episodes she what they were showing in the locker room after the game. There was a sense of pride after the Cardinals game that showed amazing chemistry. The next day or was announced he was positive. Several other players were already positive so it wasn't just him, but his performance after returning was bad. Was something said or done in that time? I have no idea. But the perception of him changed significantly in those 2 weeks.
