wentz has to go though. can't win with that clown

Have 2-14 season and the right year of a draft making the right pick.

Unfortunately the Colts best chance at improvement is likely going to be Reich working with Wentz and trying to minimize the bad Wentz as much as possible. Let’s face it - Colts fans have been spoiled by Manning and Luck. This is what most franchises deal with season to season. The Colts can win SBs with Wentz, but it certainly won’t be because of him.

Minimize his mistakes and build a D that can get turnovers, but doesn’t require them to be effective. Add more help at WR and cut down the worst of Wentz. You can win that way. And at this point it is much more likely than finding a franchise QB.

Yeah, Wentz is god awful. What's really bad about the situation is that as he's gotten healthier and more time to gel with the offense he's just gotten worse.

Unfortunately it looks like we're going to be stuck with him for the next year+ :(

Yeah, as much as I detest him right now, the Colts will roll with him at least one more year. So the best hope is that Reich can correct some of the bad out of him.

That said, I'm not sure what Reich can do about the decision making. The most brain dead play I saw today was Wentz, who admittedly did a spectacular job of escaping out of a sure sack, had a huge lane to run and gain yards. Instead, for some stupid inconceivable reason he decides to pass the ball to a guy who was covered. At the best if that pass is made he's getting tackled for a 10 yard gain. Unless there was a different angle, he could have ran for 10 yards in his sleep at worst, and may have got 20-30 or so.

Yep that play was horrible. So was the throw to Hines in the flat on the final drive, and that, that looked like it was designed and he threw it to the intended WR.... if so, that's not on him, that's on coach for calling such a stupid play right there.

Probably more than 1 year, there wont be a first round draft pick for the coming year. Should the colts go fishing for a FA Qb?

I mean, maybe keep an eye out, but Carson, IMHO, deserves a full offseason/training camp in this system/with the coaches.

Trying to get into the EZ late in the game today he was allowed to throw it. I think he trusts him, I think he trusts him way too F-king much actually.

running on almost all 1st and 2nd downs. hardly using playaction

the playcalling doesn't show he trusts him fully
