This is proof week #3 in a row of abysmal play calling from Reich and co. and the third week that I am calling for Frank to relinquish his play calling duties.
-Biggest crime in this game was not feeding JT, who mostly looked really good. Like you all have said, 10 carries for our best offensive weapon is inexcusable, especially because this game was never out of hand enough to justify it.
-Wentz was okay given his limitations. He was okay in game one or two because of shitty O-line play. We will likely have excuses for this guy until we run out of excuses and he proves that he is just that guy- slow to process, choreographs his reads and body movements, plays hero ball and is VERY injury prone. He is a very, very poor timing passer and is virtually the opposite of what we had in Phillip Rivers last season. How long are we going to give Wentz a free pass until we accept that maybe he is just an average QB? For years, we watched Manning put up MVP games and numbers and production with a shit O-line, Same as Luck....Why does Carson and his fragile body/ego get a pass? This guy is clearly not good enough to overcome an average roster and may only ball out if everything around him is absolutely perfect, even his own confidence and brain. Maybe we keep him around to facilitate the Sunday Morning Mass session for Frank and the boys?
-This front office and coaching staff should have at least sat Wentz for yesterdays game....maybe even all three. We are getting half measure answers that we needed clear answers from at this point. If we like Wentz and are committing to him as the guy for the future (which is crazy given his injury tendencies) and I think we will, since we invested so much capital in him. We are NUTS not to be sitting him for a few games to rest up, practice a ton, get his timing and reads down. If there is any chance he isn't the guy (and I think its a foregone conclusion), we need to sit him for 3 games straight and get our pick back. We must. Call it bad gamesmanship, call it what you want...but this squad has proven so far that they are WAY further away from competing than we thought. We need to take drastic measures to make a quick, new rebuild with the limited assets that we have, weather we think Wentz is our 10 year plan or 2 year plan. If he's our 10 year plan, we need way more talent for him to produce and need that first rounder. If he's our 2 year plan, we need need his replacement and that first rounder to do so. The way I see it, we need that first rounder regardless and need to swiftly make decisions to plan accordingly.
Let Brady call the plays. Sit Wentz. Play Eason until he's so bad that you can cut him. Ride out the shit campaign and plan a half measure rebuild so we don't need to full on rebuild. This might require us to trade a DL or QN....I'd say lets trade Wentz but I honestly believe nobody would touch his broken ass with a 10 foot pole. I think we plan ahead with Wentz as our 2 year or longer bridge/backup QB.
And in the offseason I would VERY seriously consider pursuing ARod from the packers (even though he is a douche), who will cost us nothing but cap hit to acquire. Hell, and Devante Adams too. Let 10 players walk and suddenly we have a ton of cap space again. Your thoughts?
I am at a point where I want to trade everybody of value. JT for a first or second maybe?
