Wentz benched

[rnr_honeybadger]

Did he, though?

He went 5/12 and had a pick. There was one drive when he came in, when the game looked to be pretty much over, that he did anything. After that one drive, he didn't complete another pass and had the INT.

They are going to hurt him in Philly.

Hurts completed a pass on 1st down of that final drive prior to his interception later in the drive. I think he did provide a spark, but it was a tiny one. At that point in the game they needed a raging inferno, but only got a spark.

My bad, I read that play wrong on the pbp.

he’s gonna wind up in Indy. Reunited with Reich and begins that o-line and resurrect his career. And it will be beautiful because Philly will be tortured

Indi is smarter than that. They'll draft a QB this year.

Unless they can get him for a low draf pick and not pay his salary then I guess it's possible.

But assuming Wentz will play like he did in 2017 just because he's back with his old coach is not a guarantee and a risk the Colts probably won't want to take.

They signed Philip Rivers. They’d definitely give Wentz a look

Rivers was a 1 year deal for $25 million. Wentz has a much higher cap hit next year and the next couple of years.

Wentz has looked way worse than Rivers and Rivers has been average at best this season.

a spark with no fuel to burn.

teams very rarely absorb the entirety of a bad contract. Point being rivers is a shell of his already fading self and they bit. 25 mil is not an arbitrary salary, that’s a lot of money. But we will see.

I was talking to a buddy tonight about how crazy it is how much Wentz has regressed. Whether it is because of underlying issues with being hurt/injured or he has just lost his mojo, it will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on in Philly.

It definitely will. I'm honestly shocked that they even went so far as to bench him for part of that game. If they actually make the switch and start Hurts for a game or more, I don't think there's any way they could go back to Wentz. And if the rest of the league sees how damaged Wentz is, nobody will give them anything to take on that contract and he will essentially be an anchor on the organization until they can afford to release him.

I still expect them to start Wentz next week, but anything is possible and I'm surprised even at this news.

I don’t know what you’re saying. That’s not how “got what they could” works.

Idk why I’m responding to this but here it goes.

It does. It’s an English predicate of a sentence. You can make it mean however you want it to mean if it’s valid. The way I had it in the sentence was valid. Let’s analyze the situation. Ramsey complained about the team and demanded to be traded. The Jaguars then proceeded to find best trade offer they could find. Never mind it was two first round picks. When using the phrase I’m not measuring the compensation they received. I’m considering the situation they where in. They didn’t trade Ramsey because it was a shrewd move. They traded Ramsey because he was in a contract year and he demanded to be traded. They got a good return but their backs were still against the wall. It was good for them he was a good player in high demand.

Me neither.

and I don’t need an English lesson.

I was agreeing with your original post and just saying they also got a great return.

No real interest in going back and forth. Sorry for agreeing with you!

Big mistake. You don't bench a top 5 QB, 1st round draft pick and perennial All Pro.

 

[lukin2006]

We should bring him in to compete with GG for the backup spot...

Goff ain’t looking that good also. If the draft was to happen again, Dak would’ve been the first QB selected.

 

[Flamma]

Jalen Hurts is no big deal either. People talk about Jerry, but the Eagles baffle me. They gave up on their QB that quick? How about instead of drafting a QB in the second round, you draft a player that can help your current quarterback?

Not that Wentz is that great to begin with, but given a fairly good roster he doesn't suck.
