The fact that none of his old teammates are expressing shock/anger/dismay at him leaving is an eye opener. When you add to it that his QB guru in Frank Reich...who stood on the table a year ago to trade for him (and traded a 1st no less)...is really to cut him loose after just one year? Those are warning klaxons that can be heard for 100s of miles away. Except for a very tone-deaf organization, as we’ve proven to be since 2000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that none of his old teammates are expressing shock/anger/dismay at him leaving (that I have seen) is an eye opener. IIRC none did it when he was traded from the Iggles either. In fact, there was the story about how he got ticked off/jealous at the Iggles doing well after he tore his ACL. That starts the warning bells. When you add to it that his QB guru in Frank Reich...who stood on the table a year ago to trade for him (and traded a 1st no less)...is ready to cut him loose after just one year? Those are emergency klaxons that can be heard for 100s of miles away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKellion Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 After thinking on this trade, what he cost for this year, plus what it will cost to resign him if he is any good this season.I dont hate it.Not entirely thrilled with the draft capital we lost.But on a 1 year prove it deal,It isnt terrible.You can answer the phone on draft day and recoup the draft capital without moving back to far.I want to see the draft and FA before I decide anything else.I still dont know if I can be a Commander fan(struggling with it)Would have loved Wharthogs. /sigh oh well.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see over the next couple of days the comments from the Colts, the players, the WFT coaches, GM's, players etc. Still have not heard Ron speak about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Carson Wentz is probably the most talented QB this team has had in the past 20 years. Possibly 30 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripsean21 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I love all my fellow posters here. I really hope something good comes of this but as we all know there’s no vision and we’re just meddling until someone takes a chance at a QB with true potential.

LoganF89 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Well, after some restructures and shuffling of some cap I think we can open nearly 20 mill in cap space. with that said, I’m interested in trading down a bit and go 1st WR 2nd FS and sign a MLB in FA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 What’s really remarkable about this is a young QB probably would’ve given Rivera more time. As it stands, if Wentz bombs and we’re going into year 4 without a young QB to sell this fanbase he’s pretty much done. Because if you draft a QB in year 4 you’re almost certainly not going to win with him immediately. So Rivera has tied himself to Wentz success here otherwise he’s pretty much done.

The only thing about that is, who are you going to get that is as good or better than Rivera? Washington has become a pariah in the NFL.
