So now it's pretty much guaranteed the pick will go to the Eagles, and if the Colts take care of business, it will most likely be a 21st pick or so (currently it's the 23rd if the season ended today and if the Colts lost their Wild Card game).

Great trade now. I have issues with Wentz, but he's been worth a 23rd pick, and I have faith he'll get better after another year or two in the system.

It is guaranteed. If he doesn’t play another snap, he’d still have over 80 percent of the snaps.

With the Colts defense and their run game, Wentz doesn't have to be Peyton Manning, he just needs to be better than average and not be a turnover machine. No way the Colts could have drafted a QB that would have been better than Wentz in this upcoming draft....and with Wentz you also get experience. I still think the price was too high, but maybe that was the only way they could get him? I think the Colts are a championship calibre team and will be for years to come!

Carson Wentz‘s struggles with the Eagles during the 2020 season have been well documented and this offseason has been about trying to turn the page to a brighter future.

Wentz was traded to the Colts to kick off the offseason and he’s spent the last few months getting used to life with his new team. During a recent visit to Fargo, North Dakota for work with his foundation, Wentz spoke to Beth Hoole of ValleyNewsLive.com and said that he thinks Indianapolis is “definitely a special place” that has rejuvenated him after a rough year in Philadelphia.


“I really feel like I have a new passion for the game,” Wentz said, via Jonathan X. Simmons of the Indianapolis Star. “I’ve been high, I’ve been injured, I’ve been, now, benched, I’ve been traded, I’ve kinda seen a lot in five years, so whatever the game throws at me I’m ready.”

The Colts are betting that Wentz is both ready for whatever’s thrown his way and able to handle it better than he did last season. The success of that bet and the success of their season will go hand in hand.

I bet Philly is an exhausting place to play for.

I've heard horror stories about that fanbase...some of their fans are nothing short of criminals!

At one time, I think back in the '90s, they actually held court in the stadium, complete with a judge, to convict some of their idiotic fan base. They've since stopped that practice but it shows how brutal they can be.

The Colts won a big game against a good team (vs. the Bills) in which Wentz played well.

The Colts won a big game against a good team (vs. the Patriots) in which Wentz played poorly.


The team that was finding ways to lose earlier in the season is now finding ways to win ...... on the road, and at home.

Exactly C&O. Good teams find a way to win. We may be turning into a good team!!!

Of these 5 variables, I suspect that Carson Wentz (at #3) will be the most prominent factor in Sunday's game.
