Many people have jumped on Carson Wentz for not taking very well to being demoted during the season. Then to still be grim as he saw the writing on the walls with the play of Jalen Hurts. Look what happened this season when the Packers drafted a quarterback in the first round. This did not make Aaron Rodgers happy as he played Punisher-like and had revenge on his mind to show up the Packers front office. Wentz could have done the same thing as the Eagles, when they drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round. It’s training your replacement at work. The needs the Eagles had before the season, you’d think the team would have drafted a play maker or someone to protect the quarterback in the second round. In Green Bay, Rodgers at-least had the protection on the O-Line. In Philadelphia, Wentz is not mobile and could only do so much with a line pretty much was a band aid soaking up blood and barely sticking on for support. Jalen Hurts can escape the pocket and make plays while on the move was his recipe for success. Knowing all the facts in a team in total disarray, the Eagles traded Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts. Eagles get a a 3rd round pick this year. Plus the Eagles get a second rounder in 2022 which could be a first rounder depends on what Carson Wentz does on the field this upcoming season. Was this enough the Eagles got back for a guy they picked number 2 overall in 2016?

What happened to the Bears? The Carson Wentz sweepstakes seem to be between two teams, the Bears and the Colts. The Bears were trying hard to get Matthew Stafford from the Lions. The Bears may be rumored to be after every quarterback available this off season. I’m sure the Bears kicked the tires on Carson Wentz rumor had the Bears had a better deal on the table for the Eagles which might be heard said. The link the Bears had with Carson Wentz was quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo who was a former coach in Philadelphia and familiar with the Eagle quarterback as he coached him and is on Matt Nagy’s staff. Carson Wentz came out and said he did not want to play for the Bears. Why would he is the question. The Bears are a team in disarray just like the Philadelphia Eagles. The coaching staff and the GM are on thin ice like Philadelphia staff coming into this season. Plus the Bears Offensive line is nothing to write home to mom about. Plus the lack of play makers. Not sure if Bears were serious about Wentz or what he said killed the deal between Chicago and Philadelphia. Many fans in Chicago are happy not to have Wentz. Chicago fans probably would want Deshaun Watson and may settle for another episode of Nick Foles. Ir I have a suspicion Sam Darnold from the Jets, which would be the Bears’ way of bringing in another Mitch Trubisky type.

I like this move by the Indianapolis Colts coming away with Carson Wentz. The Colts did not over pay for Wentz which you know the Eagles at first wanted all of King Tut’s riches for their guy. The Colts were a playoff team last year and lost in Buffalo in the first round. The Colts needed a quarterback because Phillip Rivers retired. Wentz will have a great offensive line protecting him in Indianapolis. Maybe the best of his entire career. Plus the Colts have a strong running game that features a few running backs which we know a running game can take pressure off the quarterback. Plus the Colts had one of the best defenses in the league which will help if Wentz makes a mistake during a game it will not haunt him every time. Then the reunion with head Frank Reich will make this thing work. When Frank Reich was coaching in Philadelphia, Carson Wentz was a pretty good quarterback. Two seasons with Frank Reich guiding Wentz was 18-11 as a starter. The Superbowl year for the Eagles it was Carson Wentz led the Eagles to a 11-2 record before he was injured. Wentz had a 61.5% completion percentage and threw for 7,078 yards with 49 Touchdown passes compared to only 21 Interceptions. Carson Wentz had to deal with the crazy fans in Philadelphia that burned his jersey for a bad season. Philadelphia is a big market. Chicago would have been a big market especially after what Mitch Trubisky went through. Indianapolis is a small market that Carson Wentz should thrive in because he was drafted out of a small college, North Dakota University home of the Bison. Look at Josh Allen out of Wyoming University, a small town school and how he is loved and is playing well in Buffalo. In all sports, sometimes it’s the system and location for that person’s personality to get the best out of them.

Last year Carson Wentz played in 12 games and was 3-8-1 as the starter. Wentz had a career low completion percentage at 57.4% as he threw for 2,620 yards while throwing 16 touchdown passes and had 15 interceptions. Lifetime the 28 year old quarterback has a record of 35-32-1 with a 62.7% completion percentage in 5 seasons. Wentz has thrown for 16,811 yards with 113 touchdown passes and 50 interceptions.Wentz has 9 comebacks with 10 game winning drives. Nick Foles came in and had a lucky horseshoe up his rear in 2017 to lead the Eagles to their first Superbowl win of all-time. If Wentz did not go 11-2 that year I could not see Nick Foles from the start of any season guiding a team to the playoffs and beyond. Wentz has a quality arm. He has had some injuries. I have to go back to the Colts’ strong running game and Offensive line is the combo to keep Wentz up right and let him do his thing back there. Wentz was drafted number two overall for a reason. Wentz has shown some flashes of a very good quarterback in his 5 seasons in the NFL. I give the Colts a grade of an A in this one. I give the Eagles right now a grade of B- that could go higher if they get that pick in 2022 to go from a second to a first rounder. The Bears I give a F, because they are the fools in this one. Not from not getting Carson Wentz. As fans in the league and experts see, the Chicago Bears are a hot mess. Now you have a starting quarterback in the league commenting on their situation. The Bears have that drunken vision and blurry eye sight, that they think is hot and the best only to wake up with a doosey in the morning wondering what the hell happened.

Back to the Eagles. If Carson Wentz plays 75% of the plays this season in Indianapolis, that second round pick in 2022 could turn into a first round pick. Another scenario is if the Colts make the playoffs and Wentz plays 70% of the snaps, then the Eagles would get the Colts first rounder in 2022. Philadelphia is handcuffed by the cap and the team from the Superbowl has seen way better days. The Eagles need to blow it all up and give the keys to Jalen Hurts, building a team around his talents. The Eagles have a new voice as head coach. Even if Wentz does really well in Indianapolis, the Eagles had to move on from him and that is what they are doing. This is the only way.
