I would say the big difference between Leonard or Kelly vs. Wentz is that the team could weather missing Leonard or Kelly a bit better than losing the starting QB.
I mean Brent Hundley was the de facto backup QB for the majority of the season. As bad as Wentz has played at times, there is a significant dropoff from Wentz to Hundley. And before you say Ehlinger, the Colts could have thrown in Ehlinger to the Oakland game and decided a Carson Wentz with little to no practice was a better option than Ehlinger.
I also wonder if there was any truth to the rumors about certain players intentionally contracting COVID-19 to avoid having to test during the post season. Carson Wentz was one of the last Colts who contracted COVID-19. I could see Irsay being pissed off about that if Carson intentionally caught COVID. That is all rumor and speculation, however.
