Defensively we have a 20 million dollar a year linebacker who plays like a free agent rookie. Do any of you honestly think he regressed or do you think he no longer is dominant because he doesn't have mobility from an ankle injury? For the last few years our offensive line was dominant because we had three dominant players Kelly (maybe not dominant but damn good), Smith (nobody got near the qb from his side for two years) and of course Nelson. None of these guys are playing or if they are they are playing like a shell of themselves. The only legitimate (hopefully) deep threat at WR hasn't even seen the field and the quarterback is injured, which everyone seems to think is his problem, not the fact that he is getting killed by shit offensive line play due to injuries. Wentz is injury prone but Luck was just tough. Bullshit. They both got killed by their offensive lines. I'm on board with sitting Wentz until he is healthy. For me the biggest screw up has been the abysmal play of our defensive ends, Ballard has really screwed that up, doesn't appear to be able to evaluate them worth a shit. Shit season without a number one draft choice since the Colts will not sit Wentz. Reich is way overrated as a coach. Another good guy that wants love in his locker so he fires Guge because he is an asshole. An asshole that had this line playing at its best. Winning isn't the priority for this team and these guys. I say this because so many of the so called leaders are anti vaxx, considering the rules the league has put down you are putting your personal shit way before the team. This is the least likable Colt team for me in my memory. They make it way to easy not to care, unfortunately I still do.
I am more along these lines. Someone above mentioned "why are we giving wentz a pass?" I dont see it that way. He is playing kinda like I expected, pretty good but not great. Given some time and playmakers he would be good enough for us to compete. Not given time and playmakers, well he isnt good enough to overcome that. The situation is exacerbated by the injuries/bad play/bad play calling. If we were operating with the dominant line and running game we are used to, I think wentz would be good enough, but I never expected him to be transcendent.
