Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
Just because there was a possibility of him being released, doesn't mean that there wasn't competition for his services.

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
Again who cares? Why would you get into a bidding war for Wentz? He isn't worth giving up a 2nd and 3rd rounder. He just isn't worth that kind of compensation.

Again, why are so many people so upset that they upgraded the QB position? A 3rd this year and probably a 2nd next year...big deal... |

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
I don't get the strong negative reactions either. I don't love the move but I don't hate it either. People act like draft picks are gold or something, each pick is a gamble and more often than not you lose.

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
It's almost as if people forget how terrible Heinecke was last year.

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
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

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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?

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
Right now everyone was hoping for a Red Ryder BB gun for Xmas and we end up with a cap gun.
I am still hoping we draft someone as well. Sigh

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
If Wentz has 30 Tds next year and 10 picks and we win 10 games id take that all day

Re: Welcome Carson Wentz
He's better than Heinicke, Allen, Fitz, every QB coming out of the draft this year, Mariota, Trubisky, Winston...His contract is not unreasonable, and the asking price was fair. All in all, I don't see a lot to be upset about, unless you just enjoy being upset about literally everything this franchise does - because you are just accustomed to being upset about literally everything this franchise does...
