Welcome Carson Wentz

I bet Reich would have liked one more year of Wentz and not be put in the conundrum they are in at QB now.

NFL Network this morning reported that it was Irsay that wanted to move on not Ballard.

Yeah I think it was mainly Irsay driving this move.

This makes me feel a lot better. Another owner with a history of dumb calling the shots over the GM who wanted Wentz to stay? Everyone should should feel better about this

Decent read:

Jim I is a fucking whack job himself. All the owners are pretty much whack jobs. In that article Wentz even tired to reach out to Jim I to clear the air. I think a sane person would have been like lets try one more year with Carson and get him some WR help, then make a decision in 2024. Nope instead trade him for song and lets go all in on trying to get a Jim G type guy. Maybe its me but not sure jimmy G is much of a upgrade over Carson.

If they want to just have someone hand the ball off 30 times a game Jimmy G can definitely handle that.

Interesting take from JP:

@JPFinlayNBCS
Wentz threw for 3500 yards on 63 percent passing last year, 27 TDs vs just 7 INTs. Stats look good. But my biggest concern is Indy just traded for him, and now they trade him without a clear upgrade. Something doesnt add up

Exactly!!!why would his long time coach drop him despite his 27 7 stats after 1 year?

See this makes me feel better, Irsay is a fucking idiot.

13 hours in this thread and we are now debating baseball metaphors. I think we are missing spring training collectively.

Was looking at some of Wentz stats from last season. He had five games where his QB rating was below Heinicke's season average. In those games Indy went 2-3. Two of those games came against Jax. Perhaps sometimes a coach just has a players number?

Well they have JT, might work.
