Carson Wentz is Carson Wentzing

Carson Wentz is one of the most overrated players in NFL history.

After a great 2017 season—that he didn’t even finish due to a torn ACL diving into the endzone and doing wayyy too much—Wentz has been described as one of the more talented quarterbacks in this league despite never being healthy enough to play and sitting on the sidelines while his backup, Nick Foles, was winning the Super Bowl for the Eagles.

Last season, Wentz was atrocious.

He led the league in interceptions and getting his ass sacked through the Earth’s crust.

He only played in 12 games before being benched for Jalen Hurts. 12 games and he still led the league in picks. That’s lowkey impressive. No one does it like him. Wentz absolutely loves throwing the football to the wrong team.

Here’s Carson’s problem: He stands in the pocket too long waiting for wide receivers to be completely wide open far down the field. It’s as if he is afraid of throwing into tight windows and needs a completely open target but that stubbornness often leads to him getting swallowed up by the pass rush where he either ends up being sacked 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage or he attempts to avoid the sack by closing his eyes and underhanding the ball directly into the chest of a linebacker standing in the backfield.

He doesn’t trust his receivers to make plays when they have a defender near them. Wentz only trusts himself. Big main character energy.

The Eagles had to send the 8th highest-paid quarterback to Indianapolis where Carson Wentz is now doing what Carson Wentz does best: nursing an injury.

That was fast. #Colts QB Carson Wentz will have surgery to repair his foot, per coach Frank Reich. He’s out up to 12 weeks, but could be much less. They will remove a bone in his foot.

This news is coming about a week after reporters asked if he was vaccinated and he opted to not answer and maintain his privacy.

Not saying that I’m celebrating his injury but I have zero patience for vaccine nonsense. Just say you took the medicine and move on so we don’t have to hear the worst people praise him for how brave he is for owning the libs or whatever.

Like seriously, let’s say I got microchipped at Duane Reade where I got my vaccination, ok. Well, nothing is happening to me, right? Bill Gates isn’t controlling me like an RC car. Are you worried about being tracked? If you’re reading this on a smartphone then you need not concern yourself with that. Everyone already knows where you are and what you’re doing at all times. Just get the fucking medicine.

It’s a true shame we won’t see 16 games of Carson Wentz underthrowing receivers and getting benched for rookies while guys on ESPN still talk about Wentz as if it’s still 2017 and he’s still an MVP candidate.

Lol at the Indianapolis Colts. Maybe Philip Rivers will come out of retirement again.
