the 1980s, but
not not recently. It's been a long time since they've been
any good. They had a private draft workout with Nevada
quarterback, Carson, strong, and, obviously, Carson Wentz,
although maybe they're just trying to Corner the market on
quarterbacks named Carson
that would be as good of a strategy as they've had from
a Personnel standpoint in the past 25 years, but they need to
be thinking about developing someone in the event that
Carson Wentz doesn't get it done, a of Carson Wentz, gets
it done. You got it. We're back for 10 more years, but let's be
realistic. There's been nothing that's happened. Recently.
That's caused anyone to say
Carson Wentz is ready to sail into the next decade as an NFL
starting quarterback. So you have to be
dotting, your eyes crossing, your t's thinking about your
options and looking for guys. You can develop. I think it's
smart for them to cast a wide net. Anytime one of these
workouts private workout because that's different than
the visit to the facility. This is
you go to him. You work him out on his Turf. That shows
a greater level of Interest.
I always wonder how that gets out. Who's putting that out.
There. Does the team wanted to be out? There is somebody else
leaking it for whatever purpose.
I really am curious as to whether or not Washington wants
us to know they're doing it. Are they trying to set up some
sort of a diversion a smoke screen, whatever. But
regardless they did it they put the time into it. So clearly
there's some level of interest in Carson strong, there may not
be. Now. Maybe the workout was horrible,
but there was enough to do a workout.
Or cat was horrible. Yeah, you never know. I guess
I understand though the interest in like
exploring all of the quarterback options that are
still available to you, because if you're Washington, yes, you
went out and you got Carson, Wentz, but can you really
depend on that guy? I mean, we talked about this when
the trade happened, right? If he couldn't get it right with
the Colts
and Frank Reich, who was somebody who knew him, who
worked with him, who helped him become that mvp candidate. That
can 2017 which was, you know, Eons ago in NFL years. Then why
do we really have confidence that he's going to be able to
make it work with Washington?
I don't frankly. So
I think it's smart for Washington to still go out
there. Explore what the quarterbacks look like. Because
if they get into a situation where they can, where they can
draft, Carson, strong,
and they feel very good about what he can turn into that.
I would do it. Because, yeah, if Carson Wentz works out, he's
your quarterback for the next 10 years, I guess, but I'm not.
Very confident that he's going to work out there. I'm just
not.
So you know, I think it makes sense
to, as you said dot the I's cross, the t's do, all
the research you need to, to make sure that if this is somebody
who you feel like, can come in and legitimately be a starting
quarterback for you. Maybe
he needs a year of sitting in order to actually mature and
I don't mean like mature in a bad way. I just mean mature in
the offense, right? No, marinate, I guess is almost a better word
and then, you know, get to the point where you
can. Start for you, Carson. Wentz can at least go out there
and play games,
you know, if that's what you need. I like going and
exploring the quarterback Market. I was with rookies for
Washington. I do,
I'm fascinated by the Carson Wentz, experiment with
Washington though because if he's ever going to turn it
around, it's now I can Envision. Ron Rivera sitting
down with him and telling him in no uncertain terms. This is
it,
this is your last chance. You're not going to keep
skipping around from Team to team next year at this time, if
you don't work out with us, Us you're done
your clipboard guy at that point. And he may not have
the
ability from an ego standpoint to accept being clipboard guy.
It's very rare that anyone who was or fancied himself
a franchise quarterback, reduces himself to being a backup.
Other than Joe Flacco.
I can't really think of a guy who was once highest-paid
quarterback in the NFL. And Carson Wentz was once close to
highest paid in the NFL that accepted voluntarily, those
three or Years on the back end of the career, where he's
clearly, not the starter, but he's getting a
moderate and miniscule compared to what he was. Once making
payday just to continue to be part of the game in my guess
would be Carson Wentz, based on everything we've seen and heard
he would not be able to say,
I'm willing to be the backup and fully support the starter,
and submit to what my role is, and accept it and be happy with
it. So, this is it for him.
This is, it is up or out of the NFL for Carson.
Whence this year, but Washington does need to protect
themselves because there's reason to think he's going to
go out not up.
