It is going to get very interesting to see what happens if Wentz misses an extended period of time. So much that, in a sense, we might even have to start making long term plans to rebuild our original rebuild, so to speak.
-If Wentz misses a lot of time, are we actually going to trot out Eason to cover the position? Eason likely flames out, and now going into next year we have a 4th round pick that we will cut loose and a very injury prone (but good when he plays) Wentz that is expected to be our QB1 for the next decade? I don't know about you, but I don't like that plan going forward.
-This would result in us having our first round (likely top 10) pick back in our pocket. Where the hell do we go with that? Likely not enough fire power to trade into the top 5, nor would Ballard do that. So are we shopping for another QB after next year and seeing what Carson can do with his final year of his contract with us?
-Qbs aside, we have benefitted from having all of the middling 2nd-3rd round picks on rookie contracts. None of them (Campbell, Turay, Banogu, Okereke, Lewis) are likely worth giving any decent money to, and some are even cut worthy. The only benefit of having these guys mainly sucks may be the ability to sign some of them to modest, prove it deals. But why bother? They havn't done shit so far, why keep our faith in a losing bet?
-That is where the rebuild comes into play. We either need to let them all walk and put our chips in a few good FA's (not likely based on Ballards TR), or find a way to draft their replacements. Either way, there has been way too many picks that havent panned out and it will hit us hard over the next two off seasons.
If anyone cant see the brewing storm for out franchise, you're blind. Ballard has built a team that is strong in all the wrong places and his foundation is very flimsy. I think he is a good GM who has a plan and acts on strong conviction, but wow, we have a lot of air in this roster, especially on D.
