Colts GM Chris Ballard on Carson Wentz

[ChaosTheory]

I think I'm leaning more towards Wentz coming back as the most likely scenario.

There's just too many negative and/or unrealistic alternatives. I see four guys that would be an improvement over Wentz but are long shots due to combinations of expense, interest from the player, and interest from the players's team. I don't see the rest of the available guys as much of an upgrade if at all.

Now I wonder if Ballard is resigned to that fact and he's intentionally trying to light a fire under Wentz. Might as well try to motivate him if you're keeping him?

I hear what you are saying, but how much more motivation does that dumb ass need. His motivation should have been this past season since Philly threw his sorry ass in the garbage. But I don't think motivation is his problem, he's just fucking stupid as an NFL QB and you can't fix stupid. Add in his piss poor mechanics and you are left with the shit show that is CW. I was completely wrong about Wentz, I thought he would be a top 5-10 QB with the Colts. Sadly, I was mistaken.

I was arrogant. I thought all those Philly fans were stupid and/or spoiled. Now I know EXACTLY what they were talking about.

Still blows my mind that a quarterback can be THAT bad and still put up the numbers Wentz did. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Only thing good was his TD to INT ratio and you can thank all the attention Taylor got for that

Yeah, on paper his TD to INT ratio was good, but he got away with a shit load of mistakes that should have ended up in INT's. He was one lucky bastard.

Translation for children:
Uncle Carson is not very smart and that can't be fixed, the way he throws the ball is not very good. I thought he was good, but I was wrong, he is bad!

Very true. I'm not saying I want them to do this with Wentz.

I'm just racking my brain at what Ballard might want to do. I don't have the most confidence in us bringing in one of those four guys.
