MikeT14 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Just now, e16bball said: If Alex Smith had a better arm, but was a noted loser and clubhouse cancer. Because that’s the twist. You can’t draft a guy now, because we’ve learned over years in Philly that Carson Wentz can’t do **** if he fears someone else is looming behind him, challenging him for his job. Not apples to apples on the QB, but the deal itself and the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 So some quick hitter first thoughts on this: - Do I think Wentz will be some amazing QB for us? No. - Is a 29 year old QB with high draft pedigree who's shown some promise in the league worth a shot? Ya probably. - Did we give up a kings ransom for him? No we did not. - Does this keep us from drafting a QB at 11 if we want to? No I believe we can still take a QB at 11 if we want. - Does this keep us from drafting a QB in the first next year? Absolutely not. - Is he a better starter for us than Heinicke this year? Ya probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Man, I really hate this. A lot. Literally trying to defend how not desperate we're acting and then BOOM. Nut shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 9 minutes ago, MikeT14 said: Not apples to apples on the QB, but the deal itself and the situation. Absolutely. Taking on the money when you don’t need to, making a trade for a QB that the team broadcasted its desire to get rid of, investing your picks/money/time in a player that multiple (better) teams decided wasn’t the one to take them to the promised land. I could tolerate the Alex Smith trade to some degree. There were several reasons for it, but one of the big ones is that I believed there were other teams queueing up for him. Some always said that we traded those assets for him unnecessarily, because they weren’t going to keep him — but I’ve always said they were bidding against other teams who wanted him, and that’s what drove the price up (not the fear that the Chiefs would just keep him). Who was in the mix for Wentz? Who was going to trade anything for this guy? I really will be intrigued to see if anyone indicates that other teams had interest. Pittsburgh? New Orleans? Tampa Bay? Were we bidding against these teams? I really hope it comes out that we were, that would at least make it a bit more palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshstraDaymus Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Has Carson Wentz ever had a weapon on the caliber of Terry McLaurin at the receiver position? I think that could help. I also could see them swinging for a high pick or a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 And we swapped spots with them in the second round. Rivera cannot be GM anymore. This has to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Like I said before... us fans are going to have to deal with it when they decide they like/love someone. Even though it is absolutely stupid and shouldn't have happened, Carson Wentz is here to get beat out in TC by Taylor Heinicke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
