Update: What number will Wentz wear? (merge)

[chrisbeldridge]

Michael Pittman Jr. is currently #11 and I have his jersey that I like to wear to games.  Hoping Wentz won't take #11 because I want Pittman to keep it.

Not sure but I'm really getting that eerie feeling today that we're gonna be the team that gets him. We obviously get the whole Reich connection but still it's not just that. I think we want it. As much as I would probably prefer saving draft capital and rolling with Fitz and Eason, nabbing someone like Eason when they're available seems like a Ballard move to me. Draft a guy who can for sure win games now but possibly still has major upside with the right staff and players around him. I could live with it. I prefer the aforementioned option because we don't have to give up draft picks. But considering we're a playoff caliber team now, I could see why Ballard an Co may not be interested in gambling on Fitz and an unproven second year QB.

Detroit got a 1st round pick for taking Goff contract off Rams books. Colts should get similar with Wentz, or tell them “no deal.”

The Rams also got Matt Stafford.

That, plus a dead cap hit of 24,547,076 after 2021 when we release or trade him lol.

Yes, but in my mind, Detroit got a 1st for Stafford and a 1st for taking on Goffs contract. 
 

Again, let me restate “in my mind.”

That is absolutely a concern. Although, paying QB’s millions of dollars to sit the bench or stay home, is kind of a Colts thing these days. So why not add a monster dead cap hit to the list.

None. We aren’t getting Wentz. At least I freaking hope not

I feel like I'm having a premonition... Here's my fear. 

 

Feb2021 - Colts send a 2021 2R pick + starter, or 2021 2R + conditional 2022 SR to the Eagles for Wentz

Jan2022 - Colts miss the playoffs at 9-7. Decide to stick with Wentz. TN wins the AFCS. 

Jan2023 - Colts miss the playoffs at 8-8. Decide to stick with Wentz. Jax with Lawrence win the AFCS. TN WC.

Jan2024 - Colts miss the playoffs at 9-7. Jax again, Houston WC. Stuck with Wentz in his last year. Keep him as backup. Reich fired.

Apr2024 - Colts draft a QB in middle of the 1R. Colts hire Sirianni as HC... Rinse, repeat..... 

 

[chad72]

Just give him 12, it might give him big shoes to fill.  

[LJpalmbeacher2]

It's a Shame Bert Jones #7 wasn't retired(I have a opinion on retiring numbers, maybe some other time). But with Brissett hopefully out of here it's logical Wentz is given #7.

 

And when Wentz throws to Pittman, it would be 7 to 11 

[Valpo2004]

If we got Wentz that would be the least of my concerns.

I strongly believe that Reich would make Wentz a franchise QB again.  He had 2 great years 1 good year and then a bad year.  I don't believe this bad year is more indicative of his abilities than his 3 good years.  

 

I don't think we will get him.  But if we got him for 2 2nds or 1 2nd and a non star starter I would be pretty excited.

IMO, he's only had one truly good year. 2017 was good QBR wise. 16 and 20 were bad. 18 and 19 mediocre.

 

And he's only played 2 full years. 

 

So we have

 

1. Health concerns

2. Broken-ness concerns

3. Locker room concerns

4. High contract and bad dead cap concerns

5. He wants to leave Philly after they just fired a HC for him and brought in new staff just for him, concern... 

 

And all that risk for one good QBR year, in which he only played 13 games.

16

 

Rivers was 17

Manning was 18

Unitas was 19

Zero

I think its funny that many have already set the narrative of him becoming the new forum whipping boy before he's even here.  LOL.

It's a tough job, but it is mandatory that this forum always have someone to blame for all the woes in the world! Would be funny if the Colts traded for Wentz and resigned JB. Who would get the honor of being forum public enemy #1?

It would still be Frank's play calling.

[PRnum1]

I'd rather have Hurts 

[danlhart87]

Wentz would be the first player ever with a negative number 

[richard pallo]

12  that will end it.

[krunk]

Homie has to get on the team first

Watch it be 1

Even Bears fans are saying they hope their team stays far away from Wentz...that’s saying something. The Bears haven’t had a real QB for years, and they want no part of this guy.

If we get wentz 6 and 10 is what I expect 

[GoColts8818]

File this under worry about it when it happens.

[Imgrandojji]

I'm in the minority but I would prefer Brissett to Wentz.  The devil you know and all that.

I actually agree  , it is funny because so many here don't want to see JB back but I want no part of Wentz.
