Garoppolo in the last few hours. Wow,
number 95 or less. Yeah. This is, it was a tight one. And
this is we're going to go with Carson Wentz. We are Carson.
Wentz,
Washington, commanders quarterback. I'm still having
a hard time spinning that on my mouth. It's gonna take awhile.
Literally only said the, like, Philadelphia and the Colts at
the same time there. When I was about to say what team, you
know, they filled the coals,
but yes, Carson Wentz.
Hey,
Negatives, he's got some of the things Jimmy Garoppolo has.
Yeah. I mean some of the that where you just go, you're too
smart.
You know, you played too many, too much football to do this.
Why never forget that interception on the screen
right by his goal line. Right. Against the Tennessee Titans.
Yeah, right. I mean there's there's a number of those type
of plays
throughout the year
or Saks
or strips acts. Where you go. May, you just played too long.
What are we doing? Why are we still sitting there? You've
been in there for seven seconds. Nah,
throw the ball away. Get out.
Pocket. Well, you take some Sack or the ball gets trip
Saxon fumbles. So I, again, I didn't mean to start with
the negatives here, but I just because we were kind of talking
about with Garoppolo. There's like, he's moved ahead of Jimmy
Garoppolo
these. Well, there's a lot of similarities to why they're
here or where they are. Sure. You know, he though, okay. What
I would say is,
you know,
yes, can force the ball on the Titan. Windows
has some of those issues won't get off a receiver, because he
just got me to throw it in there. He's gonna come open.
Here he comes. Going to keep saying on. No, get off him. Go
to number to go to number three.
No. Don't just force it in there and try to throw it in
there because you wanted to throw their, there's some of
that, they're
all right. So, it's that you talked about the, you know,
the dumb interceptions and those are some of the similarities of
the Garoppolo. Except, here's the difference to me,
you know, when's can really make some game changing plays
and throws, there's a difference there.
And then again, he's out on the 49ers, were Debo Samuel and
George Kettle in the best, Run game and football, and people
got Remember that too. We're all on the same team here, you
know,
he didn't have that type of talent around him. The
Garoppolo did, but Pittman was pretty good. Was good. Job is
awesome. Maybe the best running back. Yeah. He did really good.
I get it. I get it. I still don't think we're going
to put that quite in the 49ers category quite yet. But
you know, he can stand in there. I will say this
the pocket collapsing. People bearing down on him. He's
phenomenal. That way. He can make big time. Throws down
the field.
He can make big-time power plays and power throws
to We were talking about with Jimmy Garoppolo. We don't have
to always worry about, you know, trying to find a way to
get the ball to the receiver eight yards over the middle and
find seven different moving parts to do that.
They can just call plays and go. Damn. It's one-on-one.
There's a 20-yard out route. Throw it. Boom. He hits it. He
can make like tight window,
you know, aggressive throws and Zone coverage, you know in
the hole in the cover to he's reading down the middle, but
that safety is cheating. Let me throw a laser in between those
two. So those are some of the things he can do that are at
a greater level than Jimmy Garoppolo of course letter.
He's a better athlete
and can make plays off schedule.
All right, so those things
are clearly better than Garoppolo now where it was
closed. And why we're having this conversation. I'm kind of
just comparing the two is, he's not nearly the leader or
the person that Jimmy garoppolo's, does not have that effect.
I mean, we're seeing two years in a row where teams are like,
please leave the locker room. We'll see you on the next team.
Yeah, what's going on there? Let's dive into that says you
brought it up here real quick, cause I got some other numbers
that I want to talk about. But since you brought that point up
we heard about it in Philadelphia.
Some people said, Nick Foles is a better leader on this team
than Carson Wentz. And
your say the Colts owner just told reporters a little while
ago, right? It was very obvious, the Colts had to move
on from the quarterback.
So you don't often hear on Words. You don't often hear and
owners say something like that really never whence responded.
He said obviously I struggled down the stretch took
accountability there.
The timing was poor. But yeah, I didn't expect that. I had
an awesome relationship with every single person in that building.
He says, yeah, it came out of left field. So you're saying
Probably
is overstating the relationships that he had with
that team. I think he's stubborn from the things I hear
again. This is just hearsay. I'm not saying I know direct
from sources. I just hear things from the league. You can
be a little tough to coach.
You know, I think it's. Yes, he doesn't have a great effect in
the locker room. He seems to be a little clueless about
the circumstances surrounding the team again, I brought this up
before your quarterback. You got to be aware to a degree.
I know we want to block out the noise,
but you can't be the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles
and block out the noise, so much to the extent that you don't.
Please Doc Rivers has been hired as the 76ers coach. And
like somebody asks you about it. You're like, oh that
happened. Yeah, it happened. Ten days ago in your town and
you're a big sports figure. You got to know these things,
you know, it kind of speaks to the same thing with
Indianapolis that
like
he his quotes. He was shocked off of this stuff
which tells you that he doesn't have a clue or relationship to
a degree to kind of read the rumor. The feeling of the room
are his effect on the room,
which, you know, I think, He gets into the,
I don't know. Stubbornness, whatever.
Ego doesn't, you know, relate, to the players, quite the same
way. Like we
would aloof be a proper lawyer. Could maybe be a to, I think
aloof could be too. I mean, I think you're right. I think you
can be aloof, but you're so self-absorbed and worry about
your stuff that you don't realize, like the relationships
in the locker room important. Or, you know, let me go get
a burger with these guys. So,
you know, they feel like we're in this together. I think
there's something there. I can't quite pinpoint it but
there is Something there
and I think that's why he's on another team. So that's where
I made it
close to Garoppolo. That's where I'm talking about
Garoppolo, you know, very good in the pocket just like when
it's probably better in the pocket as far as moving finding
the right spot always
but not so much to where I could put the leadership and
the pocket stuff in front of some of the other stuff that
I gave Carson Wentz, the advantage, you were able to put
garoppolo's rapport with his
teammates, his leadership ability in Carson Wentz. Are we
talking we're talking, maybe almost Underlined top. Yes, and
I mean cursing myself top 10 Talent. Yeah, I mean he's had
two years on my list where he was
four and six. He was six and 20 2016 18 last year. Okay? 18.
Yeah. So I've had them, you know, up there his his talent
is real now. Do I think his arm is
you know his arm. I don't know if his powerful was early in
the year or early in his career. You know, he can he
gets it elbow Heathrow
and that can lead to
The flop in the arm and him missing some throws. Are you
just going damn. You're too good to miss that. Throw
certainly. And hey, the other thing, you go back and watch
the year, man. He was,
he was fortunate. He had a lot of interceptions dropped when
I watch the some, some some,
you know, watch all the throws back and I get I know everybody
did but there's a little more with Wentz than there is on
the other guys. I'm just, that's why I'm saying this, you know,
and then
early in the year, even though they played some tough teams,
his stats. Don't look that bad.
He did not play that good.
In the year, he missed a lot of plays throws bad decisions, you
know, took some bad sacks, put the team in bad spots to where
it might not have looked like necessarily as passer rating
was all that bad. But you go man, there were some things
left on the field there and that game and I don't think
they were happy with the way he started off the year
and I don't think they were happy with the way he ended
the year. It was the middle part that was good and hopefully
Washington can can try to capture that to a degree. He
definitely cut down in the interceptions if you're
watching right now, 15 interceptions in 2020 with Philadelphia.
Elfi adjust seven last year with Indianapolis.
He was sacked, 50 times with Philly, just 32 times within D.
So some of the numbers, if you wanted to make a case for
Carson, Wentz improving, significantly in those areas,
you can make that case. Yes, some of those stats. You
definitely could. I mean
again, it wasn't all bad last year. Don't, don't get me
wrong. I was, there was still a lot of good there. Definitely
was.
But can I take a look at the dumb turnovers? Yes,
the unnecessary sacks
leadership, you know, too.
He games where I go to many plays and throws. Where I go,
man. The ball! Hit the ground. Like
I know one wasn't open, but he stayed there and tried to force
him. It was. Incompletion you go. Damn, two and three are
wide open. Like why did you sit there and do that or you know,
he looks in one and gets it off too quick and then
he forces it to there's too many games where you I came
away going, you know s*** like
there was a handful of plays in that game where the ball was
rolling down the middle of field because it was incomplete
and it's like there was a few people open that shouldn't
happen. Happen.
And that was because he's trying to force it or make
something to happen too long or maybe looking in the
rush and looking to make an excuse, no, and Escape before
he should, it's little things like that that I think, piled
up and probably were, you know, the ending of him and
Indianapolis. I'll tell you what Carson Wentz is gonna
listen to this. And be like, man. I
wish I hadn't even made his top 40.
I know. Should I?
Well, I could say more than you. Did, you did you did
because let's take a look at their schedule. When you make
a big deal out of this, how a team starts, could change
the story of that team and
there could be some pressure on Carson Wentz because I think
Taylor heinicke is very well liked by that fan base there 17
games. He's not in your top 40,
but he has done it before and he's got that
Doug Flutie kind of it Factor where he doesn't know how he
did it. But at the end of the game, he pulled it out and made
some plays. And so there could be some pressure on Carson
Wentz, early in the year. They do have Jaguars
at lions and then home against the eagle. That's
an interesting way to start. For it definitely is. And yes,
I mean I listen, he's stuck. He stumbles and doesn't play well
against some of those teams there.
Yeah, that could be an issue. There's no doubt. And, you
know, you're right that
Kingdom has some of the things that went. So we're not sure he
has and that's where,
that's why Keen. I mean Kenan I
kind of key has kind of him kind of guy. The same kind of guy
has kind of hung in there is because of some of those like
intangibles you're talking about. So that'll be scary. You
know, I hear you know again, I'm pay attention to everything
like And I saw some comments, I think
last week with when's, you know, his arm is armies arm. So
strong and I'm gonna, yeah, he's got a good arm. There's no
doubt. He can make some big-time plays and throws.
They've also haven't seen a strong arm there in Washington,
and in a few years.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but like,
heinicke and Ryan Fitzpatrick, or
there's not Vapor Trails behind their football when they throw
it. So, yeah, and Alex Smith, right? So, they've had three
kind of like
very below average NFL arms there. They got him in town.
Now, they look like lasers are, but It'll be interesting to
see, you know, there's some things to work on definitely
but he is big strong can make game-changing throws.
He can make some big-time plays. He's a very good athlete
to make off schedule throws, but it's like, can you trust
them?
And when the pocket collapses or it's a big moment
or things are a little hairy.
They usually get Harrier with Carson Wentz. That's the other
thing too. You start to realize you go man. In a lot of big
moments.
s*** is it gets shaky, you know, whether it's a two losses
at the end of the Year, you
go back and watch the damn
Patriots game. They're controlling the game. He's
begging them to come back. He's trying to throw him the ball
there, drop interceptions all over the field. He's hitting
him in the chest. Like, come on. Let's make this a game.
You know, it's sometimes he loses sight of the big picture
of the game as I guess what? I'm trying to say right there.
Yeah, that needs to be worked on a little bit too. Could be
his last chance. This is last chance.
He will be relegated to backup Ville. If he doesn't make it
happen right here this year and he's not necessarily a great
backup guy, kind of like you mentioned with, and I don't
know that he has
As the I don't know I noticed a to be in your right. You don't
think of him as a team would be. Like, I would love to have
Carson as a backup. I don't know if he'd accept that or
what that's gonna be interesting situation. I hear
you
the best for him to succeed
this year in Washington if he wants to
continue playing in the NFL.
