Wentz Getting Cut? Maybe

Ballard's obviously done some good things and is certainly a huge upgrade over his predecessor, but he's not the rock star that some people think he is.

With all the injuries last year, they found a lot of guys to step in and play. Still had a winning record. If you are looking for perfection, you wont find it in the NFL.

That’s a bit of a distorted statement though. We’ve only been looking for a QB for 3 seasons. And that first season of looking he had about two weeks. So essentially we’ve had two full off seasons of QB looking. Compared to how long some teams go, not all that long.

I don’t like everything Ballard does. But not finding a franchise QB in two off seasons is not one of the issues.

Jordan Schultz' Twitter 2 days ago: "Curt Cousins has zero intention of taking a pay cut, sources say. I'm told an extension could pay Cousins, 33, around $40M per year."

HARD pass on that! That's more than double his actual worth. Lol.

It's looking more and more like Wentz will be our QB next season...unless the Colts just decide to tank for the 2023 draft!

I agree unless Irsay is just super pissed and demands that Wentz leaves. It will be Frank and Carson's final ride unless there's a miraculous turn around in Wentz. I don't expect either will be here for the 2023 season.

I could actually ride with this. Tell them both at the outset to set the bar- it's AFC title game or you both take the dirt nap. Mid season it will be a floundering mess, both will have checked out, we will suck bad. Good draft pick and shed the dead weight of these two. Ballard on the clock to get a good coach and a real QB in here to win with a team that still has several tremendous players in their prime.

I would take that over Wentz. We are not going anywhere with him. He is the most divisive player I’ve ever seen. You can’t depend on him being consistent. Dude is a coach killer.

The longer this goes on the more this seems true to me, ie Irsay is pushing this. I hope he cools down, let’s Ballard/Reich decide and then holds them responsible. It’s is counter productive, in my opinion, to fire Ballard. Do that and he’ll be hied as a GM within days by another very happy team. Just look at the poaching going on from this team. Tells you all you need to know about what the professionals think of this regime.

Hell, the Texans are dumber than a fence post, but I don't think they are dumb enough to trade him to the Colts. Maybe if O'Brian was still in charge. 2nd, is Watson even going to be playing football in the NFL in the next 3-5 years? Watson is a hell of a talent, and before all of his alleged bullshit, I would have traded 3 first round picks for him.
