Wentz Traded to Washington for 2 3rd Rounders per Bleacher Report
oraphus replied to Reaper Skins's topic in The Stadium
This isn't Cheers.. i am not trying to be best buddies with the QB... i would rather have a legit NFL QB who's an asshole (Wentz) , than a super nice guy without the NFL level skills/ traits(Heineke) ,... just win baby! ...and lets hope Wentz learned something in his previous stints and understands that this is his last shot as a starting gig. maybe learn some leadership skills. (and yes, leadership skills can be learned) also.. while no one mentioned this, the conspiracy theorist in me is thinking that Scary Terry might not sign an extension here if we don't get a legit QB to throw him the damn ball. -

The more i think about it ... i am warming up to the scenario. Simply put there were no options this year that were better, out of what was left. 28m for a mid level starting QB in this league is not bad. Plus the guy has a cannon, that means higher potential to bring in FA WR if they chose. Two 3rds is cheap... and colts were never going to cut hit outright. Trubisky will probably get 15m+ so 28 for wentz will look like a deal. Trubisky, mariota, Winston - major question marks Jimmy G - many ???, inj prone, coming off surgery, will cost more in pics. -

Wentz was tripping when eagles drafted Hurtz... how do you think he will react to a rookie QB drafted high this time around? I actually think this move means Wash will not draft a QB in the top 2 rounds this year. -

well ... Ron just signed his own exit. A shell shocked has-been QB with no heart. Just what we needed. This franchise and its eval capabilities are a joke. I am sure Eagles are loving this.. they couldn't wait to get rid of him, now they get to destroy him twice a season. -
I think there has been too much of this 'Nobody wants to come here because of owner, org, name, etc. ..That's mostly BS. Players just don't care that much about all the extra stuff. What they care about is money and winning. Washington has no problems paying elite players.. so the only thing that's left is winning. Fact is that Stafford and Wilson picked teams that are loaded and ready to win now. That's not directly Washington's or Rivera's fault. No matter how much Rivera yells "we're a QB away!" these players are not dumb ... on field results speak for themselves. 1. While the D seems to have some pieces in place, it was atrocious for 2/3 of the 21 season. 2. There are weapons on O, but not enough and coming off major injuries. Now how does the team get better at QB? simple... 1. Overpay significantly and truly make an offer that can not be refused. 2. Load the team with O talent to make it an attractive destination, so that next time an elite QB becomes available we are real option. 3. Get lucky with an FA or a draft pic Since option 1 is off the table (unless Raiders come around) .. load up on option 2 and 3 and keep fingers crossed.

You guys are so worried about giving up three 1st round picks for an elite starter QB?? why?? Lets look at our draft history for the last three 1st rd picks.. 21 - Jarmin Davis - looking like a bust for his draft value so far 20 - Chaise Young - average so far 19 - Haskins - bust I would trade all three players for Rogers, Wilson .. hell even Carr in a second!

Wait... so the coach that drafted him and the only coach Wentz had success with is willing to get rid of him after one year?? if that's not a clue.. I dont know what is. Sounds more like Colts trying to drum up interest in Wents and a high draft pick. I hope Riviera is smart enough not to go after Wentz... He is broken.

I am on board... reality is that top tier QBs will likely stay where they are. Neither of above options is exciting but I believe will garner similar results to Jimmy G without giving up picks and can be paired with a draft qb. I also highly doubt Jimmy will only get a 3rd.. he is the only "proven" option of the 2nd tier of available QBs. Demand will push his perceived value up

Samuels was brought it as a swiss knife... meaning 60/40 WR/RB. He could easily have 700yds receiving and 500 rushing as a smaller Debo type receiver, if healthy.
