Wentz Getting Cut? Maybe

The consensus on Wentz, after the trade, was that he had gotten mucked up in Philadelphia, and all he needed to excel was a return to the arms of a Quarterback whisperer like Frank Reich.

Well, he might have come to the Colts; but, for all practical purposes, Reich never got the opportunity to take apart his game, his mechanics, fix them, and put the pieces back together.

First, Covid wiped out offseason workouts, then the foot ended Wentz’s preseason.

Give Reich another shot at it. If it works out, great. But, if his critics are right and Wentz is unsalvageable, you have a first round draft choice in a better class of QB’s or you can pick up a free agent from a deeper pool.

See drafting a QB is not the answer to me this team is full of guys heading into their prime it’s built to win right now we don’t have time to let a rookie come in and develop

Kray007 makes to much sense. This year is a crapshoot no matter how you slice it

Yeah he makes sense, but I really hate the thought of JT wasting another season of his career, we all know these RBs have a short lifespan in the NFL!

Mitch Trubisky? I read something today about how Buffalo really likes him and thinks he should get another chance. Josh Allen said he'd tear it up if given a chance. I might be interested in that, but there will probably be a bidding war and the Colts don't have the capital. What a mess.

IMO he'd be worth bringing in. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Not that there wouldn't be a potential bidding war, but Trubisky only made $2.5M last year with the Bills and is a FA. We're $35M under the cap and (if I'm understanding it correctly) would be $63M under the cap if we can trade Wentz. I would think we could bring in Trubisky.

Yes he is making a lot of sense. But it doesn't matter. It appears that Irsay does not want him so he is gone.

There is something that happened besides his on the field stuff which in itself was not a reason to move on. He was top 10 in QBR rating and improved in every area that he was terrible in the yr before in Philly. It is attitude or game prep or something. And no it's not the vax otherwise there would be a bunch more on the hot seat.

I tend to agree with you Puck. It doesn’t make me feel good. Irsay making this decision is fucked. His decision’s have sucked in the past and will suck now. Hope he’s like a blind squirrel and finds the right answer by pure luck.
