I don't think there is any doubt there's some kind of kick back thing going on with Grigson. Maybe he's been promised some position in the next organization Grigson soils, who knows, but yeah it's way over the top.

He’s a tool. More concerned with stroking his ego. Knows next to nothing about football. Keeps pushing the Grigson narrative because I think he has a hard on for Ballard. I’ll listen to him about basketball but tune him out on football. It’s fine when you need someone to be devils advocate, Dakich will say the stuff no one is Reich should be fired/Wentz sucks etc. But if you listened to him the team would be the Giants looking for a head coach every couple years. He’s mostly just pissed bc they turn down the majority of his interview requests, but when they do go on he kisses ass. If I need a bad idea I’ll go to Dakich.

I would actually rather bring in Minshew and have him compete with Ehlinger than roll another year with Wentz.

I wish Reich would cut out the painful "climbing the mountain" cliches.

it was probably his theme for the year. probably will be something new next year.

This is a good article on the Wentz quandry:
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/sounds-...205538390.html

My favorite line:
And most of all, Wentz had a penchant for making things more complicated than they had to be in the offense, either failing to embrace the simple plays or simply choosing to force bad decisions. So much so that the Eagles' internal data on dropped interceptions placed Wentz amongst the NFL’s worst when it came to that category.

It is kind of crazy how many he got away with this year. He could have had FAR worse TO stats than he did--- but for being lucky.

Man if they go forward with him, Jim is going to have to find some creative ways to sell tix because people are fed up with trash and have far more entertainment opportunities with every passing year.

I would suggest he use "chopping wood"!

I'm sure its pretty simple. Dakich played under Knight who was a raging asshole but successful, and thus he believes that you have to be a raging asshole to be good in sports. So Dakich is an asshole, and thinks anyone who is a raging asshole must really be good at what they do, and anyone who can't stand them is probably just to weak to cut it. Hence Grigson = good, and that both the Colts and the Hoosiers will stink until some raging assholes get put back in charge.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but the most glaring thing from what I saw (other than Wentz is a total dumbass) was how wide open JT/Hines was on every play Warner reviewed. Hitting the RB out of the backfield in stride was something Rivers was great at, and led to a lot of big plays in '20. We really need to get back to more of that.

It is asinine that we didn't throw to them more. Hines was criminally underused. JT with a full head of steam is a virtual first down. I really think Wentz cost us a playoff berth.

Watching this reminded me of the same type of video showing trent richardson making the wrong decision almost every run.

The "layups" Ballard mentioned. The downstream effect of hitting some of those would've been huge.

Just simply connecting passes and sustaining drives. We would have had a very bad year if JT had not emerged.

Those, plus the miss to a wide open TY was a missed layup.

I was at that game....that one hurt!

If Miller had gone for the dunk instead of the lay-up, he might have had a 3-point play ...... one of the many "what-ifs" in sports history.

More press for Minshew. Ballard said he wonders who the next Brady is and who will get him.

I wouldnt mind minshew next season.

I was on board with the wentz trade, but would probably just cut loses at this point.

Maybe they can trade Wentz back to Philly after this weekend. lol

He should have just dumped the ball off to JT all game. I've been saying that for weeks.

So I finally sat and watched this. WOW. Can Kurt still play??? This tells me that ANY QB the Colts bring in. I care less about anything than brains.

In my crazy back of my mind when you sort through it all.... I think when Frank made the call to Rivers when Wentz had Covid. he almost hoped Rivers would say YES and then he had a reason to bench Wentz for the playoffs.

With Rivers we win BOTH of the last games. And probably both blow outs

I look back at this season. And with Rivers. We may be undefeated.

I love what you say

I saw Spiders Mans and the laughing was more than the moning. Felt sorry for the everyone. They went to the sellout.

Phillip was our man. Two times.

Disagree, his arm was gone. He probably would've been better than Wentz, but not by a whole lot.

We are gonna disagree on this and that is fine....

Rivers had exceptional knowledge of the game. Maning like knowledge

The RB and short passing game would have killed most teams.

And Rivers was top 10 in long ball passes ( correct me if I'm wrong)

Rivers would have torn this schedule apart

Yep. I apologize for drunk posting, but, meh.

No way. Especially with the early injuries along the line and lack of pass rush. They make the playoffs with Rivers though.

English, please

never apologize for drunk posting buddy

We were in every game. With Rivers on a second yr there would have much less adjustment on offense.

I'd love to see Warner break down all of Wentz's games I would bet he was bad in most of them.

Just saying. Rivers is 10 times the QB that Wentz is right now.

Hopefully they get him fixed

Puck, do you think that they will try to 'fix' Wentz? I think that is the most likely outcome this year. With all we have invested in him there will be a lot of pressure to try one more year. One thing that bothers me is that, as far as I know, not one teammate has spoken out in support of Wentz. To me that is very telling. Sucks

I think that is the plan. Only because I don't see better option out there without using multiple 1st round picks. And we don't have one this yr, I am am pretty sure you cannot trade beyond 2 yrs. So we only have a 1st next yr since we don't have one this yr

There is a chance that Carr will come available. If so Ballard needs to go after him aggressively

Unfortunately Puck, I agree with you. If he is fixable it will be such a miracle I may need to convert to Christianity.

hopefully they get him cut

Stampede blue did a stat analysis after each week. They are pretty good. Basically they don’t paint a pretty picture. Inconsistent at best is how I would describe it.

Those are his best posts

If they have a better option that makes sense then yes of course

I fear we are stuck with this fool (Wentz) for at least one more year. Options are limited. I had always thought it was a two year deal. I just didn't think he would end up getting shittier as the year went on. I think we sign Fisher for one more year. I saw him as a two year deal with his pass blocking coming back the second year. If I remember many people felt it would take a full year to get the quickness and explosiveness back that is needed to effectively pass block.
