crawling all over their skin given that their quarterback
is Carson. Wentz and
look on the surface on the surface.
You look at this. And you say what in the hell were
the Commander's thinking to give up to third-round picks? The third
round pick can become a second round pick
and
wait a minute.
I think we got that. I think that's what the the commanders
are getting a 2022. S, are they flipped?
Clapping second-round picks, is that what happened? So maybe
it's like they are the Coulter effectively moving up from 47
overall. 242. Okay, we're all
after they give, I missed made you
pick swap of 2026. That's what
our story on. That's another piece. I didn't know. I don't
read that crap. I listened to Aaron Rodgers.
Don't waste my time. Reading that crap.
So I missed the 2022. Second round flip-flop. It's to
third-round picks, and one of them become a second-round.
That's the guts of the deal and
they're taking on the commanders are
Entirety of the compensation package for Carson, Wentz more
than 28 million this year.
And
I think we look at and say why who else was in this? Well,
the problem is for as motivated as the Colts were to sell
Carson Wentz. The commanders were even more motivated to get
anybody and they get they gave it away last week. They made it
to clear last week. They were burned by the fact that they
didn't even get a chance to bid on Matthew Stafford. They were
not
taking any chances.
Year miles Simmons.
They were not going to allow any flanks to be exposed. They
found the guy that they were able to get even if he was
planned c d e f 4G and they were getting him
and Ron Rivera put it best last week. Does anyone remember what
the Rams gave up to get Matthew Stafford? That was
the indication that this team was going to do whatever it had to
do
to get a better quarterback.
But did they really get that much of a better quarterback?
And I think that the jury is going to be out on that for
a little bit. Look. I'm not a really big fan of Carson Wentz.
I think he's okay. I wouldn't never guessed from your Twitter
feed at Tyler and
never guessed. I would have never guessed from your Twitter
feed.
Yeah, you wouldn't know. Well, here's the deal. Mike. I mean,
I just, I think he's all right, you know, but I go back to
the 2016 Senior Bowl. I was the first time I think anybody
among, you know, real NFL meteorite real good.
Got the chance to see him do much of anything.
And I just remember looking at him and see him that it looked
like everything was right when he would start to pass, you
know, his base would be good as drop back, would be good. And
then he let the ball go and you just are mail
it to these guys that were just like they were right there and
you're just going against are and I'm like, what the hell is
up with this? So
from then on, I guess that's kind of affected my perception
of Carson Wentz and look, his 2020 season was a disaster. He
was much better in 21 for the Indianapolis Colts, but when
they needed him to be great. Now, Frank Reich talked about
this in December and early January.
We're going to need Carson Wentz to win a game for us. And
when they needed him to do that, he couldn't do it. He was
terrible in that last game of the season against
the Jacksonville Jaguars, when they needed him to be a just good
enough
to win the game and get you into the postseason. So,
I mean, if Frank Reich couldn't solve the puzzle, that is
Carson Wentz given their history. I'm not really sure
how Washington is going to be able to do it.
Well, coaches tend to think that they will be the ones to
fix a guy
who needs to be fixed. We see it happen with off-field
issues. We see it happen with on-field issues. And is that
key for the athletic explained that the Cults believed some in
the organization believe that once had a lack of leadership,
a resistance or hard coaching and a reckless style
of play now?
We'd heard about the lack of leadership. In the past when he
was with the Eagles. We'd witnessed the resistance too
hard coaching, given the fact that he and Doug Peterson were
on the outs in 2020.
And The Reckless style of play is obvious. He's got a habit of
trying to do too much, which puts him In Harm's Way, which
causes him to make dumb throws and or be dragged down by Aaron
Donald and sprained both ankles because he had to hold
on to the football because he had to be Superman, he had to
try to do something that he is. Able to do
and one of the big
qualities underrated. But obvious qualities of
quarterback, is to know your limits
to color within the lines. Jameis Winston has this problem,
Carson Wentz has this problem.
Others have the problem.
They try to do more than they're physically capable of
doing to try to make throws. They can't make they try to
extend plays in a way that they physically can't, and they get
themselves injured and they get themselves to do stupid things
like this, with the
left hand, and throw
that ends up being a touchdown.
Down against the Tennessee Titans
that said that said,
the guy was an MVP candidate in 2017, until he tore his ACL in
a game against the Rams. The Coliseum, you were probably
there. You probably had the one who turned all the way. It
sounds
like you don't like this. You
you, you wish it's your fault.
You put this evil
on cars, ones here,
but but, but then in 2018,
the problem is, you got injured. He was doing well, had
the broken back in comes Falls. They win the Super Bowl, right?
No way. That was 2017, 2018. There is 1720 folds 2019. Most
one, the
Bulls almost won the game,
against the New Orleans Saints down there, at the Superdome.
That's it. Yeah,
that's it with the broken back, 2018. And I actually picked
them to win that game. They were up 14, nothing against
the Saints.
That was the game where on the first play
from scrimmage. Drew Brees throws a long past, crave on Le
Blanc with the interception. That was when we all said,
well, maybe Drew can't throw the Deep ball like you.
Used to and still played some at a high level for a couple
more years. After that 2019 was the year
that whence ironically, I think stayed healthy while everyone
else got injured
and carried the team to the playoffs with a bunch of guys
who were like, who's that? Who's this? Who's that? Who's
that? They get to the playoffs and then he gets speared by
Jadeveon Clowney
and gets knocked out of the game. Josh McCown plays season
over but
and then 2020 was just a mess,
but the guys done some good.
He's capable of doing some good
and I think they realized Taylor heinicke was at his ceiling
and Wentz has a higher ceiling. If you can just get him to get
back there.
The problem is on his way to climb the stairs toward
the ceiling. He may fall through the railing and screw up
everything. But
I just think, for a team that has called around to every
other team.
This is the best they could do. They had to pull the trigger.
They knew the lay of the land. They knew what was out there.
They knew who they could. Get. And this was the best they
could do
and they weren't going to
let
just try to get into a tough negotiation. Have the Steelers
swoop in and take him again. We don't know who else was out
there. I don't think they wanted to take the risk miles.
They realize it's the best guy. We're going to get, he's better
than who we have were sick of being crap at quarterback. We
are making this move. Even if we have to pay too much in
salary,
even if we have to pay too much in draft picks.
We are going to do it and it worked out perfectly for the Colts.
