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

Washington Commanders president Jason Wright wasn’t happy with the way one reporter handled an interview with quarterback Carson Wentz. Wright implied that he would restrict the reporter’s access after a “pompous, unprofessional” back and forth with Wentz. [Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] The reporter in question is Scott Abraham, who works for ABC 7 in Washington, D.C. Abraham sat down with Wentz and offered up some blunt questions about Wentz’s struggles in… Source link

Starting off in the AFC West, the guys talk about how the Denver Broncos trade for Russell Wilson came together & the west coast arms race that led the Los… Source link

This is what the Washington Commanders signed up for. In the aftermath of the reported trade that sent quarterback Carson Wentz from the Colts to the Commanders on Wednesday, details emerged from what went on behind the scenes in Indianapolis. Among those details is a reported apology from head coach Frank Reich for vouching for Wentz in the first place. Before joining the Colts as head coach in 2018, Reich spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Wentz-led Philadelphia Eagles…. 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

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to have an offseason filled with high drama. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that quarterback Carson Wentz is not happy with being bumped from his starting role in favor of Jalen Hurts, and would want to “move on” from the team if that continues.

It’s understandable why we want to make excuses for Carson Wentz. Wentz was a dynamic player for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 before a season-ending knee injury. He was a leading candidate for MVP. Patrick Mahomes was still at Texas Tech, and Wentz was considered the future of the NFL. It’s hard to believe that player we saw early in his career has fallen off. We’d rather blame his lack of a supporting cast. Wentz’s play has fallen off. We’ve heard all about how his offensive line… Source link
