I’ve never seen a white man with his skill set and accomplishments in the league get this treatment at 30 years old. Is there something else going on? I understand he had locker room issues at times but his physical skills would be enough for some team to give him a look.

Commanders fan checking in:

Wentz is a moron, and a QB that had the physical skills to overcome his many flaws as a QB, but those physical tools are gone now.

He was great for only 2 years of his career in Philly, when he could elude and evade the rush physically. Mentally, he’s a weakling, and he’s a head case when it comes to listening to coaching. Here in Washington, he absolutely refused to take the check down, if the play broke down. He was either throwing deep balls over 20 yards, or getting sacked. Once he had those injuries in Philly, and lost his escapability, he became an awful QB.

Everywhere he’s been, his teammates never fukked with him. Have you ever seen them vouch or take up for him while on the team, or after he was traded/cut? He’s one of those religious nuts into hunting, and probably MAGA, so no one really cared about him personally.

He probably got killed way more than he should have that season in Indy all because of those last two games, but the locker room component and last season is what's holding him back because you can't say some of these backup names starting today are better than him.

8. It’s truly remarkable to me that teams out there that desperately need a quarterback continue to ignore Carson Wentz. I’m not saying they’re wrong. I’m not sure I’d sign him, either. But it speaks volumes about his reputation around the league that the Browns – who are 4-3 – would rather start P.J. Walker, who has one TD pass and five interceptions, than call Wentz. The Vikings, who are 4-4, would rather start Jaren Hall – a rookie 5th-round pick who’s thrown three career passes – and acquire Josh Dobbs and his 1-9 career record – than call Wentz. Is he really that bad? Nah. Just two years ago, Wentz threw 27 TDs and 7 INTs for the Colts before imploding vs. the Jaguars. Even last year with Washington he had a passer rating of at least 100 in four of his eight starts. When his former coaches – like Doug Pederson and Frank Reich - won’t even give him a courtesy workout that speaks volumes. His passer rating just two years ago was higher than Josh Allen’s, Jared Goff’s or Jalen Hurts’. He was top-10 in the NFL in 2021 in TD passes and interception ratio and from Week 4 through Week 17 he went 8-3 with 22 TDs and 5 INTs. That was less than two years ago. Even starting just seven games last year and not playing a snap this year, he’s still thrown the 8th-most TD passes in the NFL since 2017. And it’s not like he’s just a backup or a 3rd-stringer. It’s not like he’s working out for teams and it’s not going well. Nobody is even calling him Nobody wants him anywhere near their football team. There has never been a quarterback who fell this far this fast. And even though nobody will say it, it’s not because of his ability.

A lot of things working against him :

- notorious for committing head scratching turnovers and mistakes
- struggles to connect with a locker room, which is the worst flaw you can have as a QB who needs to lead and galvanize
- hasn't gotten any of the mental and physical reps from OTAs, training camp, preseason, etc - throwing the ball around in shorts doesn't cut it
- he's made well over $100m in his career, he probably has no interest in signing for the vet min to hold a clipboard


If he really still loves the game and wants to be apart of it he'll sign for the min next offseason and embrace just being one of the guys and teaching a younger QB. If his heart isn't built for that then he's done, he's made his money and already racked up a ton of injuries, he can walk away comfortably.
