Welcome Carson Wentz

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

So we traded two 3rd round picks for him. He had 27 TDs and 7 ints last year. When he is healthy we've seen first hand what he can do. The risk is pretty minimal if you ask me. No matter what we did people were gonna be upset. We didn't get Rodgers nor Wilson, would you all rather trade away a first for Jimmy G.? I'm confused at those who are ticked off, what is the alternative solution? Heineke again? We know he isn't winning anything

Exactly.

The alternatives were likely Jimmy G (who would cost MORE), Winston (coming off an ACL), Trubisky (probably following Daboll) and Mariota (?). A couple day 2 picks over two years isn't a bad price for an upgrade at the most important position on the field. It's possible that this could end up being a terrible move, but I think it's more probable that this turns out pretty good.

This is where I’m at, he’s a legit QB1 when healthy. Is he elite? No but he’s mid tier and way better than Heineke and Allen

You nailed it IMO.
I don't actually love the move, but I voted loved it because I actually really like it (and there was no in between voting option).

They were running out of options, they had to guarantee an upgrade, they gave away a couple of 3rd round picks... This is a low risk potentially high reward move, I know we're not getting 2017/2018 Wentz, but can you remember the narrative about him back then ?
We were talking MVP.
Then injuries and mental struggles came in, but if he can become 75% of that player again, that's a QB you can win with... And if he doesn't, are we really gonna blame this FO for losing 2 3rd round picks in trying to upgrade the position?
