What’s Wentz have 1 career playoff game?

Can’t trust that dude to beat the raiders at home I’d hate to see him in his first real playoff game

Wentz has a bigger upside. They are about the same now. Wentz has better stats on a weaker offense with less weapons and a worse Oline than SF.

We would have to trade for JG and trade release Wentz. So we would have money wrapped up in Wentz guaranteed money this yr, JGs contract and will have to trade for him. We have already used a 1st and a 3rd. Now what will the trade be for LG? a first again? A couple of 2nds? a second and a third?

No matter what thay is way to much to give up for an average QB.

No JG is not the answer and would be an extremely bad decision by the FO

Reportedly, SF is asking for a Day 2 pick (2nd/3rd round) + an additional asset for JG. If that is their asking price, that means they are being offered less. However, the market for JG probably won't fully take shape until the bigger dominoes fall or are ruled as unavailable (Wilson, Watson, Rodgers, etc).

Last year's Darnold trade is probably a comp - a 2nd, a 4th and a 6th.

I disagree if he’s a perfect match to run the offense the way it needs to be ran, I don’t care what we invested in Wentz it was a bad move fold that hand before the turn we’ve seen what he has to offer and he’s not gonna get any better.

Jimmy gets the ball out quick and doesn’t care about being the face of a team he doesn’t come with the #1 overall pick mentality like Wentz feeling like he has to justify his career with every throw he just wants to win anything less then a superbowl is considered a failure for Jimmy just making the playoffs is the bar for Wentz

You are trading apples for apples. Not a good idea. Roll with Wentz of find an upgrade. Jimmy, is better looking than Carson But thats all he has on him. He is NOT a better QB Give me Wentz 10 out of 10 over Jimmy. Unless I need a wingman of course

How are we discounting the dudes playoff experience, completion percentage, quick passing game is what he’s all about he’s the anti hold the ball for 6 seconds and throw up a prayer that Wentz is

That's a ridiculous statement. While Jimmy G isn't great, he's not one of the worst projected starting QBs in the league like Wentz is.

How are you judging these QB's to say Wentz is one of the worst?

I’m not interested in short term answers. Rather roll with Wentz. I don’t like the guy but don’t think he is as bad as most fans do. Still think we can win with him at QB IF he is surrounded by a good team. Get a decent pass blocking line and some receivers and maybe he is isn’t shit. There is no great option

Stampede blue did analytics on Wentz every week and the last week they did a summation of the season at the end of the page. It did not paint a pretty picture. Basically he was around the 20-25 range on most areas and about 27th in accuracy.

When you add in other factors like he was one of the worst QBs in the league after halftime and in the 3rd quarter. No 4th quarter comebacks. Won’t throw outlet passes. The mechanics issues. The QBing issues Warner pointed out. The guy is just a mess and not worth the money or the trade capital.
