If Carson Wentz’s playtime is at or above 75% next season, the conditional 2022 second-round pick would become a first-round pick, per sources. The second-round pick also.could become a first if Wentz plays at least 70 percent of the plays and the Colts go to the playoffs.

Holy shit, way to go Ballard. That's a great move. Now to hope Wentz is fixable, which I'm much more confident in based on this move.

I think this offense is going to open up a lot like Luck's last season. No more JB in the redzone, and I believe we will see a lot or RPO

and also some read option as well. This ....if he gets back to the 2019 player could be a very high powered offense More additions needed of course, but he wont have to force it and try to carry the team

Something many are not talking about, or realizing, is that after the trade, Carson cost's the Colts only $25 mil/year, for the next 4 years.

In starting QB comparisons, that's 16th in the NFL. Not shabby if he works out.

Also, if he gets hurt, or doesn't play well, and the Colts want to move on from him, they can release, or trade him, with no dead cap strings! Again, that is a plus from this transaction.

I think Reich can get his hero ball tendencies down. He did it with Rivers last year. It may take half the season for him to realize he doesn’t have to do everything himself. But it should come down, I’m more worried about his mechanics and throwing motion and his health.

Rivers was sacked 19 times last year. Wentz was sacked 55 times last year. Assuming we fill LT appropriately. I think that number should be similar to Rivers numbers.

So if he plays smart enough and protects his body, it will come down to him working on his mechanics and working with his s receivers.

is eason promoted to QB2? or do we bring in a journeyman vet.

Gotta see what Eason's got. I might bring in a an unproven late round pick or UDFA to compete with him, but we gotta find out if Eason could be the answer in case Wentz fails.

Would be nice to have a OTA's, full training camp, & preseason so they can get a good long look at him. If he does win the qb2 job I think his development would speed up considerably.

He also held the ball too long at times last year. Reich has 3 things to fix with Wentz: 1) Remove the hero ball mentality altogether 2) Lots of film room work to get his decision making back to peak 3) Fix the mechanics of his throw so he doesn't pigeon toe, thereby maximizing his throw power and removing some of the bad interceptions he threw from unnecessary hip torque and bad throwing angles last year.

The part about the mechanics you can actually test yourself. I tried it once (purposefully pigeon toeing while attempting throwing mechanics) and instantly felt how much the rest of my body, especially core, hips, and shoulders, would need to compensate to get a throw on the correct trajectory. In full speed live action, it would be impossible.

He did it with luck, hero ball tendancies

41 years later in 2009, these two 49ers fans had to be escorted from the stadium for their safety ...... and the barrage continued, even after the security guards showed up to protect them.

Over the span of 4 decades, they evolved from pelting a last-minute Santa Claus replacement to lambasting opposing fans and security guards.
