From Fan Nation....

 

"Facing a 3rd and 9 from the Arizona 14 yard line with 6:37 left in the ballgame and nursing a 15-13 lead, the Indianapolis Colts needed quarterback Carson Wentz to make a play to at least move the chains. 

Failing to convert the third down and even putting the decision to settle for a field goal or go for it on fourth down into the hands of head coach Frank Reich — who had called a masterful game to that point — would have been unfair, especially in a game in which the Colts, missing eight starters due to COVID protocols and in-game injuries, had played their hearts out and deserved nothing less than a win. 

Wentz had no thought of settling for a field goal and making it a 5-point game. Instead, according to Reich, the franchise quarterback approached the head coach and offensive coordinator Marcus Brady, suggesting a route for second-year and little-used receiver Dezmon Patmon. 

In the end, the suggestion proved to be the difference as Patmon hauled in a spectacular 14-yard touchdown along the back-end line on an absolute dime from Wentz, giving the Colts a 22-13 lead before holding on for a 22-16 win. "

This is the Wentz I've watched and know.  He's a gamer and an intense competitor.

An upgrade at WR (speed WR) and perhaps LT, and he'll be more than fine. He's already more than fine.

 

Almost the same Passer Rating as Mahomes and Allen, and almost the same QBR as Mahomes and Allen.... 

 

Anyone still questioning the guy needs to see a doctor, or drink less, or maybe drink more...
