Tom Brady was on an offense with no weapons and the his team didn't want him back. There were a lot of people that said he was done. He went to a team with a lot of weapons, had a great season, and won a Super Bowl. Even the best of all time needs help. Wentz is going to have that in 2021. He's going to go from a team with virtually no weapons and an organization who doesn't want him to a team loaded with talent. They have Taylor who showed he could be an excellent 3-down back AND Mack who ran for almost 1100 yards in 2019. He's going to have a great OLine and good WR's in Hilton, Pascal, and Pittman. He's also going to have 2 decent TE options in Burton and Alie-Cox. Is he going to win a Super Bowl? Maybe. I definitely think they're a contender. Mack's a free agent (UFA), may be back but not definitely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your story is that Foles' successful 5 games, 5 wins as a starter, including 2 playoff wins and a super bowl, was only because Wentz won 11 games prior. That's your story? Foles was 5-0 as a starter, but you're saying that he wouldn't have gone 10-2 like Wentz did? 9-3? Maybe we would have gone 12-0? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a major stretch to assume he would have gone 11-2. 7 minutes ago, GutterBoy said: I'm sorry but you're wrong. 1) Wentz did not have an MVP Caliber season. Go look at hs stats. #11 in yards per game, #24 in comp%, #11 in yards per attempt. 1 4th qtr comeback, 1 gw drive. He played well on a good team. 2) Foles played well on a good team too. He played well before in his NFL career, and played well the following year after Wentz got hurt, again. That is the reason to be confident that Foles would have played well. It's OK man, he's not on your team anymore. The team already focked it up, no reason to give Wentz any credit at all. Wentz finished 3rd in MVP voting in 2017 despite missing 3 starts.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted February 19, 2021 The Colts have not invested a lot in Wentz here. They could still draft a QB. They could still trade up to draft a QB. They could even cut Wentz in camp if it doesn't work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foles had a great playoff run - I think he may have been able to win the extra playoff game if they didn't have a bye. But I don't think he would have been able to go 13-2 in the first 15 games of the regular season, and based on most of his regular season numbers throughout his career, I'm not sure if he would have been able to even make the playoffs. Obviously we'll never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wentz did neither. I put no credence into last years numbers. The organization didn't want him there, he didn't want to be there, the OLine was awful, and there was no help on the outside. In 2019, when he was finally back into the groove, his sack % was the lower than his 2017 season where he was an MVP candidate. He had a passer rating over 93 and completed about 64% of his passes, with a solid OLine, despite having a turnstile WR corp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,644 Posted February 19, 2021 2 hours ago, TBayXXXVII said: People exaggerate how "injury prone" Wentz is. He played in his first 29 games. Then, after missing the last few games of 17, they kept him out the first 2 in 2018. Now, that wasn't the wrong move... the wrong move was bringing him back too early. That said, he played in the next 11 games and got hurt and missed the last 3. He hasn't missed a game since. He's only missed 8 games in 5 seasons. Deshaun Watson has missed 9 games in 4 seasons due to injury. Is he "injury prone" too? Fun with numbers. Watson got hurt his rookie year. He’s missed one game since. Wentz ever have a three year run where he missed one game? Wentz is injury prone. Watson isn’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They very likely are in the same spot, because Foles duplicated Wentz's success during his 5 games, and Wentz's performance during his games was not "extraordinary".
