POLL Who ya got?

Can i choose nothing?

You can choose Drew or Geno.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wentz $28.29M fully guaranteed.
Mayfield $4.85M fully guaranteed + $3.5M in incentives.
Logically Wentz is the better player, but he's almost certainly worse value for money.

True.....but the way starting QB contracts are going.....Wentz is damn near a bargain based on his numbers last season in Indy. He had the 1 bad game vs the Jags that was amplified because they ended up missing the playoffs.

Potato salad.

Fuck it. I forgot. Sorry, I'm new here.

Hey @trojanfan12 can you fix this and add tater salad? I promise once I get some experience here it won't happen again.

I have made my case about this on about 2 weeks ago

Just messing with you.....LOL.

BM's won a playoff game.

Other than spraining both of his ankles in the same game last season what has Wentz done?

I thought Wentz had a decent 2021 overall. I think he's worth more now than he was after 2020. That said I wouldn't guarantee him $20M going into 2022. The top 8 or so QBs are worth $40M+ to their teams. The QBs outside the top 24 are worth maybe $5M to their teams. I think Wentz is closer to the 2nd group than the 1st group. Wentz is capable of playing like a $28M QB but he's also capable of playing like a $5M QB. Desperation trade by Washington.

I think Wentz is somewhere between 16-18. He is a definite upgrade from Heinicke who is really a backup QB.

True but if he works out is salary number for 23 and 24 are very low for a starting QB in the NFL. We took a risk. If he fails, we own him no gmoney. If he does well, he is on the books for 22M in 2023 and 2024 which is very reasonable.

As per Spotrac he is due $26,176,470 for 2023 and $27,235,294 for 2024. By definition these numbers will only be good if he is worth at least that amount of money. Obviously the Commanders could cut him after 2022, but that would imply the trade picks and cash/cap resources were poorly spent. I can see Wentz either being worth it, or not being worth it. What I can't see is him doing is outperforming the contract, and that's why I would call it a desperation move. Such moves are ok if it could make the difference between success and failure in the playoffs, but this doesn't seem to be a genuine reflection of where the franchise is. Just an opinion. Good luck in 2022.

I can see that you added the roster bonuses. Good point. It was a desperation move for a desperate team who needs a QB. Hopefully it works out. He has talent, we have to hope his head is right.

I'm surprised anyone is even talking about Wentz...

If he repeats the numbers he had in Indy it would be outperforming the contract IMO.

He's weird. And his weekly NFL rankings are always a good laugh.

 

[rmilia1]

Mayfield because at least he will be on the field consistently
