I promised I wouldn’t say through gritted teeth, “Carson Wentz is the best quarterback Terry McLaurin has ever played with” and end up green-lighting him in fantasy this year. I’ve lived that life with Allen Robinson and dusty veterans in Chicago many times before. But based on my WR14 ranking of McLaurin, it looks like I’ve done it. We often forget that Taylor Heinicke, God bless him, was a backup quarterback in the XFL before finding himself on Washington’s roster. Whatever you… Source link

Abraham sat down with Wentz and offered up some blunt questions about Wentz’s struggles in… Source link

Among those details is a reported apology from head coach Frank Reich for vouching for Wentz in the first place.

MOBILE, Ala. — Day 1 at the Senior Bowl is Adjustment Day, and it’s common for talented quarterback prospects to struggle early. They’re learning a new system they crammed for the day before and are familiarizing themselves with almost all new teammates. Josh Allen comes to mind when he attended the game, throwing some wild passes on his first day. Dak Prescott was fairly unremarkable in his maiden practice. Even Russell Wilson struggled here in his Tuesday practice years ago. The list goes… Source link

At some point in failure, an NFL general manager like the Indianapolis Colts‘ Chris Ballard has to step to a microphone and show the firmest of grasps on the team’s situation. Think of it as the anti-Joe Judge moment, where someone in power holds a mirror up to their team and and bluntly reflects what everyone else can see — from the franchise owner, to the coaching staff, to the fan base that is pulling its hair out. Ballard had that moment Thursday, when he all but said what some in the… Source link

On Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts tanked in a stunning loss that cost them a playoff bid. On Monday, Frank Reich declined to commit to Carson Wentz‘s future as the team’s starting quarterback. The Colts head coach was asked directly about Wentz’s role moving forward during his season-ending news conference. Here’s what he had to say, per the Indianapolis Star:  “We loved the team we had this year, we knew everyone we brought in this year, we expected to play winning football,” Reich said…. Source link

It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Carson Wentz may be headed for a breakup. According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Wentz is planning to ask the Eagles for a trade this offseason “because his relationship with head coach Doug Pederson is fractured beyond repair.” In a segment on ESPN, Mortensen said that Wentz will also help the Eagles facilitate a trade. “Carson Wentz, his relationship with the #Eagles is all but fractured. In fact, it is fractured.” Mort expects… Source link

You ever have one of those dramatic friend couples? You know the type. One week, one half of the couple is all over social media declaring that they’ve found their soulmate with softly filtered pictures of the two of them, the next week there are complaints that their partner isn’t attentive enough and maybe it’s time to move on. A few days later, they break up. A couple of weeks later, they’re back together with more declarations of love. A month or two passes, the cycle repeats. It… Source link
