The next step is to increase the number of tds thrown while continuing to keep interceptions low

Next step is consistency with his footwork and fewer passes sailed IMO.

 

But so far so good... I've liked what I've been seeing from him in general over the last 3 weeks. Can it be better? Sure... Is his play promising? Absolutely.

Things Wentz is doing better than I expected: throwing the long ball, avoiding interceptions, the over the receiver’s outside shoulder throw. Things Wentz is doing worse than I expected, being oblivious to the oncoming pass rash, using mobility to move out of collapsed pocket, using the right touch on the quick 5/7 yard slants or the 10-11 yard dig routes. 

I've always admired his throws on deep passes.  The guy has always been able to put it down the field and has the arm where he doesn't have to worry about time, i.e. the WR outrunning his arm if he doesn't get it out quick enough.

 

Wentz is not really a concern, outside of the fact he needs to be coached constantly to focus on playing smart.  The guy is just wired to try to win every play and that can be counterproductive with turnovers as well as causing injuries.  Sometimes you need to just throw it away and over the course of the season doing that will prevent a lot of unnecessary hits and hopefully allow him to stay healthy.

How exactly is the season done? Its week 6 in a 17 week season dude

Exactly, for all we know, they could finish 13-4. Probably won't, but still mathematically possible. I'm thinking 10-7 is more realistic. Whatever the final record, all they need to do is win the division.

In Wentz, I think we have a skillset that is very comparable to Andrew Luck. Luck was an improviser who took some risks to extend a play; same for Wentz. I think the two are also very comparable in terms of athleticism, mobility, arm strength, mental processing, and accuracy.

What I really have liked from Wentz these last few weeks is he hasn’t put his body in danger. He is being smart. He isn’t trying to play hero.


There was that one horse collar player against Justin Houston where he didn’t want to take a sack.

frankly I think the Colts got a steal in him and the Eagles fans at least seem to be having sellers remorse.  

 

Most are in the denial denial phase right now. Using so many excuses why he's playing better here it's kinda funny/sad tbh lol.

    • There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario. 
    • I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR
    • Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start! 
    • Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB. 
    • Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
