I continue to be confused by the Wentz detractors – is there something he’s done with the Colts to deserve all the negativity? This all seemed to start when he played hurt (and admittedly not very well) in the Titans game, but I find it hard to be critical of him for that – the guy was plainly gutting it out.

Take that game away, and by my calculations all the guy has done is throw for a 5-1 TD-INT ratio in three games, and complete 69 of 101 passes for 726 yards (68.3% completion ration, 7.2 YPA). All the while dodging a constant flood of onrushing defenders. Spread over a 17-game schedule, that’s the equivalent of a 28-6 TD-INT ratio, and would result in over 4,100 yards passing. It’s not too far off from his 2017-2019 production level (avg 34 TD-9 INT, 4400 Yds adjusted for 17-game season). Maybe I'm crazy, but it stands to reason that he’d do even better with a functioning offensive line, but so far we haven’t gotten to see that.

Based upon the season so far, I don’t see how Wentz has demonstrated that he’s an obstacle to the Colts’ success so far, or any reason to think that he can’t be an asset to a successful team (or, for that matter, that there was a better option this last offseason). Yes, it sucks that he’s apparently an anti-vaxxer, but I don’t think the criticism of his on-field play is warranted.

Well said.

I’m not sure Wentz is the long term answer at quarterback but he’s sure as hell not been the problem so far. He’s actually been really good for the most part.
