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

Headline: "Colts owner Jim Irsay blasts former Eagles QB Carson Wentz after trade"

Actual article: Irsay alludes to locker room issues but doesn't really say anything.

Perfect picture of the media in 2022. What a pathetic "article". And I'm no Wentz apologist. That said I hope he has success in Washington, mostly because if NFL divisions had faces, the NFC East would have the most punchable face.

If the owner felt strongly enough about it and was wiling to eat the first round picks, I believe him. When something happens once, it's a fluke. Twice it's a coincidence. 3 times it's a trend. Doesn't mean I don't like Carson. The compete opposite. I wish him well, but his days as a starting NFL QB may be numbered if he can't fix this perception

An owner saying "Wentz was a mistake" is pretty much as close as you will get to an owner blasting someone.

I still write it off as sometimes people/positions don't mesh. If it isn't working its better off for both to move on. I hope Carson has great success in Washington, I am a fan of his as a person, regardless of his religious beliefs.

What something? Be specific. A 3-1 career TD INT ratio? A winning record as a starter? Setting a franchise record for passing yards, without a 500 yard receiver?

Irsay's locker room rat must still be on the payroll. Why oust him? Information will dry up for this season. Jimmy ain't completely stupid.

that almost implies that there is something else doesn't it, and if it is a behind the scenes issue, I wouldn't be expect any owner to air that grievance to the press

I'm not saying it was even the wrong move to get rid of Wentz. Sometimes people don't mesh, and that's fine. I'm just tired of all of the sensationalism from "journalists" these days. Nothing more, nothing less.

He said it was obvious. And HerdBot said it was something that happened 3 times.

I'm just curious what that obvious thing is.

Again, it's funny how all these "locker room issues" only come up after the season and when a scapegoat is needed.

Again - believe what exactly? Where do we get this weird expectation that 50+ people are unanimously all going to like a person?

Carson was very well liked by:
Jonathan Taylor
Michael Pittman
Darious Leonard
OLine
Frank Reich

The most important players on that team all showed great support for Carson.

Did Irsay find players negative on Carson? Of course - Carson being an overt and vocal Christian, and/or being unvaccinated for Covid, is easily enough these days to draw strong dislike from Irsay and some of the players. And yes, some others may not have liked his playing style, or certainly his performance down the stretch.

Hell, I don't like most of you on this board...but here I am reading every day... (Purple...maybe???)

When interviewing at your next job, please have your potential boss reach out to me. I promise to be honest about you, and completely anonymous, of course. Good luck!

I have it on very good authority* that Irsay tried to get Carson to do a little yoyo and Carson was like "No, Sir. I'm a Scottie's Meth Barn guy." and Irsay got really mad and traded him to the swamp in response.
