Carson Wentz Apology Thread

[SteelersPride]

You would rather have Jared Goff?

Or...Dak?

We know the real answer.

As of now, Goff has more success. Thanks for playing.

Sad but true, at least in the playoffs.

Cheap shot to the back of the helmet would take another anybody out.

Usually what happens with young players that get hurt year after year is their defenders will analyze each injury and tell everyone why it was a fluke or why it would have happened to anyone, but eventually we all look back and those injuries keep happening over the course of their career and happening easier and easier. At this point I think it is hard to argue that isn't going to be the case with Wentz

The best thing you can say about Wentz and injuries is that it is not like he injures the same thing all the time. He doesn't have a chronically bad knee or elbow or something for example.

The worst thing is that he basically has been hurt nearly every year for the past six years.

Here is a list I found online, which I updated:

October 17, 2015: Wentz broke a bone in his throwing wrist that required surgery. He missed eight weeks, returned to practice in December and was cleared to play in the national championship game for North Dakota State.

August 11, 2016: Wentz suffered a hairline fracture in his ribs against Tampa Bay. He missed the entire preseason, but played all 16 regular season games.

December 10, 2017: Wentz suffered a Grade 3 tear of the ACL and LCL and missed the remainder of the 2017 regular season and postseason. He also missed the first two games of the 2018 season.

December 12, 2018: Wentz had back spasms that forced him to miss the rest of the 2018 season and playoffs.

January 5, 2020: After staying healthy for an entire regular season, Wentz is knocked out of a playoff game with a concussion minutes after it begins.

Carson Wentz's injury history dates back to 2015

So, in summary--a lot of different things, but clearly, not an iron man. Not a guy you can count on. The Eagles will need to invest in a quality backup, either through the draft or free agency.

That sure doesn’t sound like “North Dakota tough” to me.

@Iggloo did Wentz apologize to you yet?

I googled imaged your avatar. Was this your intention?

Sad to say because he had such promise but I doubt Wentz has the legs to hoist a Lombardi. Three seasons in a row he's failed to finish, and before somebody screams that he finished the regular season, big fucking deal. He has to go much farther than that. The focus for the Eagles should be drafting a sturdy QB who can successfully step in when Wentz inevitably goes down again.

okay. I'm done

I honestly think that ship has sailed. They gave the guy 100M. He’s not going anywhere. The eagles have a good team and play in an easy division. They need to spend money on a quality back up. Sure that’s gonna mess with Wentz psyche but if the guy isn’t gonna listen and continue to put his body in harms way by playing “hero ball” then it’s only a matter of time before he gets hurt again.

Great summary... Would be different if he had the same kind of injury but it's been a different injury each year... Tough to rehab to prevent further injuries when you don't know what's going to get injured next...
