In light of the Matt Ryan trade. Once again a strategy employed by the used to be Skins now the Commanders......

[Breed]

...... was the incorrect play. Considering the booty the Skins gave up for Wince as well as taking on his entire contract. The Commanders have once again made the wrong move which it seems was fueled by panic from RR, As a final kick in the nuts. They basically end up paying the draft capital for Ryan, a superior QB to Wince, paving the way for the Colts to acquire Ryan.

And to think, some of y'all were worried about giving up draft picks for Watson.

So Ryan has more upside than Wentz?

Ryan's cap hit much higher if it was lower then Wentz would of been a better trade for Washington to make

Hard to say. Can Wentz stay healthy? Ryan is older, but might have a few years. Ryan has been far more consistent for years. A change of scenery might help Ryan. It hasn't helped Wentz.

It is lower the colts are paying 23 mil out of 47 mil

Then it would of been a way better trade to make could of still drafted a QB somewhere to develop Washington fucked up like always

 

[wilwhite]

I'm so glad I'm not a Washington fan. Sorry, guys.

Ravens are just up the road, you know.

37 year-old Matt Ryan will cost the Colts a 3rd-round pick and $24 million on the cap.
29 year-old Carson Wentz cost the Commanders a 3rd and likely 2nd next year and $28 million on the cap.

They also swapped 2nds this year this team is beyond horrible

 

[skinsdad62]

Throw out the trade compensation and age… real football wise what is the biggest difference between Ryan and Wentz?

To me Wentz can avoid pressure & create off script with a cannon…Ryans arm strength is zapped but he’s the superior processor & decision maker.

So Ryan has more upside than Wentz?

That's not what I said. I said he's a superior QB.

 

[Stymietee]

So Ryan has more upside than Wentz?

Yes!
Based upon his two former employers, I don't think that Wince has an upside he can or is able to tap into. If he had that capability, what's he waiting for?

His best year was his first in Philly, his second-best was last year under a near-unanimous top-of-the-line QB whisperer who vouched for him then forced to apologize for doing that. What chance do you see, that he'll not revert back to the QB that he was in the years between his first and last?

 

[chillerdab]

The colts gained $5 million in cap savings and swapped out a malcontent for an older, perhaps wiser qb. They also have an extra thrid rounder or second rounder next year

The falcons got our from under a huge cap hit, and have a backup qb as their placeholder.

The commanders are out two draft picks and the majority of their cap for a malcontent qb with a better arm than their previous starter.

Sure sounds like the commanders made the worse call.

Of course the trade is going to cost more b/c he is 8 years younger and has more upside.

 

[deanpet21]

I disagree. Ryans best years are behind him.

He is 8 years younger than Ryan. Is more mobile than Ryan, He has a way better arm than Ryan. That is the upside.

Wince is 30 yrs old. He is what he is now . Upside ? Laughable . He will never carry a team on his back

Wentz had a pretty good season with Indy.

A few games weren't so great but overshadowed a solid 1st with the Colts.

Yeah, Ryan is a statue in the pocket but the Colts had very little options left.....

 

[skinsdad62]

Ryan is a better processor and decision maker , he’ll baker mayfield has more upside then wince the jag gagger
