Wentz may be an upgrade, but how much of an upgrade is he. One win? Two wins? I can tell you, he ain’t such an upgrade that we are in line to be playoff bound. And if he is not that type of upgrade, why bring him on board at all? Save your powder and build the team around the QB position so that when we are finally in a position to land a credible young QB, he doesn’t have to carry the team, that has never worked here. Follow the examples of Buffalo, Arizona, San Diego, etc. Build the rest of the team first. Don’t reach on a QB.Saying that Wentz isnt an upgrade over TH at all is simply not true.
What wentz has that is an upgrade over TH:
Wentz has better stats.
Wentz has an nfl caliber arm.
Wentz played like a probowler for the first half of the year.
What TH has that wentz doesnt:
Moxie
He’s beloved by the fan base.
Guts
Team first attitude; beloved by the team
Wentz negatives:
Played like shit the second half of the year
Costs too much
Selfish “me first” attitude
Not a leader of men
TH negatives:
Noodle arm. Cant make all the throws.
Cant simply option TH bc he isnt big enough to take the hits.
Forces balls
Sails balls
Makes incorrect reads bc of talent level? Backupness? Nobody knows for sure.
Wentz probably slota in what to a spot that he deserves - not as good as the top tier, barely makes the second tier. That costs a team $28million, especially when the too tier is gonna make $50million a year.
THAT’s insane money.
i dont dislike like wince the qb , good bridge qb . i dont like the trade itself and i believe trubisky was just as good an option for 1/3 of the price . this FO panickedWentz may be an upgrade, but how much of an upgrade is he.

It’s not about Wentz. It’s about using a couple of draft pics to get him. I know, they are mid round pics. Bit those 3rd rounders are wher you find your starting OL. Or your ST impact players. These are guys that will still be with the team in 5 years still making an impact. The type of guys that every winning team needs. Core, everyday players.i dont dislike like wince the qb , good bridge qb . i dont like the trade itself and i believe trubisky was just as good an option for 1/3 of the price . this FO panicked
Except it is a 2nd and a 3rd . He will play 70% of the snaps or else something went horribly wrong . You are right about the picks . Mac and Gibby were 3rd rounders cosmi a 2ndIt’s not about Wentz.

All for 1 or 2 more wins (maybe) this year. Brilliant.
well he is injury so it wouldn't be surprising if he misses 30 percent snaps to give us 2023 2nd backExcept it is a 2nd and a 3rd . He will play 70% of the snaps or else something went horribly wrong . You are right about the picks . Mac and Gibby were 3rd rounders cosmi a 2nd
We should be doing that even without the wentz stupid trade.Trade down some spots in the first and get them picks back ,
Someone sticky this....I'm dead oh man my stomach hurts hahahahahaha
The article is more right than wrong about Wince imo.
