Which is even more of a reason why I don't want Carr next year. Logan Pauslsen made a similar observation on Sheehan's podcast. Carr struggles in a new offense. While I do think Carr is a better leader and is mentally tougher than Wentz, I still think this will be more of the same with Carr next year.

Yeah they should have went to the guy who produced 3 turnovers and 10 points instead in the middle of a playoff push.

This is a good visual.

I don't think he'll be anything more than a backup quarterback elsewhere, but I hope he leaves this dumpster fire of an organization. They benched him for that? I'd want out immediately.

No one will ever convince me that the decision to go back to Wentz wasn't Snyder's idea. There is no way in hell these coaches watched this over a full week and thought, "yeah, he's the guy". This was a Snyder move 101. Which makes perfect sense for the season to go "down the Heinie hole" after "the return of Wentz".

Do you think Heinicke's sister has a spot on her couch for Wentz?

It would be the most Washington thing ever to have the owner's guy lose the next game but play well, have the Lions and Packers both win, and then play Howell in a meaningless game against backups and also look good opening the door for a "who should be the starter in 2023" debate all offseason.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/28/carson-wentz-commanders-quarterback/ That doesn’t cut it, and there’s now enough evidence that Wentz won’t magically change it. Oh, the quarterbacks above? QB A — the one with the (slightly) lower touchdown percentage, higher interception and sack rates, lower passer rating and QBR? That’s Wentz. For all his appeal, Heinicke has shown he’s not a franchise quarterback. Wentz has similar (or worse) stats — and he somehow is? Nope. No way. It makes sense to turn back to Wentz against Cleveland because Heinicke has followed his magical run by going 0-2-1 and turning the ball over too frequently. But tread lightly here. Maybe there’s a way for the defense to lift the team to victories over the Browns and the Cowboys and to fight for a playoff win — and for Wentz to be more passenger than pilot, which could make moving on from him in the offseason a bit easier. Could. Such a tough spot. If Wentz plays well, is he back in 2023? Is that what the Commanders and their fans should want? The answers may well be “yes” to the first and “no” to the second, which would keep the Commanders right where they have been for what seems like eternity: looking for a franchise quarterback, again and again and again.

Wentz is 5-2 in his career when he's thrown the ball 22 times or less in a game.

This was brought up on the McAfee show yesterday. Apparently he liked this tweet. Payton can chose anywhere he wants to go, but the Chargers made the playoffs so I don't see a coaching change there. Same with Dallas.

If they were to land someone like Sean Payton they would be.

Heinicke is going to be the backup if healthy.

This is the way.

In case anyone didn't trust notorious content stealer Dov Kleiman.

You are just making things up at this point. The Eagles had Dallas on a 3rd and 30 with 8 minutes to go up by seven and they gave up that deep bomb to TY Hilton which led to 7 to tie the game. Then Gardner Minshew threw a bad pick which resulted in a 37-34 Cowboys score. Then Gardner Minshew handed the ball off to Sanders who fumbled the ball back to Dallas. But yes, that was all on Minshew.

Wentz was seen as the scapegoat for an impulsive owner who was bitter that they missed the playoffs because of the final game of the season. People were touting his QBR last year and his stats from that season. Good, but not great. We're talking about next season, not this season.

Which...is what Wentz's reputation was prior to coming here. Wentz career stats: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WentCa00.htm#2016-2022-sum:passing Carr career stats: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CarrDe02.htm#2014-2022-sum:passing Yes, he was a reason they lost but "definitely" not the reason.

Gardner Minshew was responsible for Ceedee Lamb averaging 12 yards per reception? 13.4 for Dallas Schultz? Interesting

So suddenly the time isn't Howell?!

I said statistically they are similar. Stylistically, not really. I do think Carr is more mobile and not a head case like Wentz. But he's never overly impressed me in any way.

Minshew coming here is under the presumption that he would be in a competition with Howell and another QB via the draft.

Carr doesn't have the arm that Wentz has, but yes, statistically they are very similar. Carr puts up more yards and less touchdowns than Wentz does on average, however.

Anti-retread, pro non-splashy QB move.

Derek Carr is Carson Wentz with eyeliner. I do think Carr is a better leader, but don't expect any different results with him. Malik Willis looks legitimately terrible so it would shock me if the Titans were to move on from Tannehill. I'm still 100% behind Minshew.
