Nick foles had 90 yard game winning drive vs the best defense in nfl bears at soldier field and then the next game would have beaten saints if not for Jeffries drop
Nick Foles playoff run was nothing short of legendary, came off the bench and brought Philly a chip. On another note, your reaction to the giants loss has been me over the last 5 years after every game the bills have lost in heart shattering fashion. Which are endless
In 5 seasons Carson Wentz has 0 playoff wins 52 fumbles. He is 7-20 vs teams over 500. He has no heart no desire to win. His teammates hate him. He makes everyone around him worse. He started 5-6 in 4 of his first 5 seasons. Eagles are 24-6 in their last 30 games with Foles..
Foles run was legendary. It was like Doug Williams performance in Super Bowl XXII in 1988. Foles is a fringe starter. You wouldn’t want him to be your starting QB, but you would want him to be your backup QB.
@@AlexRosner-v8t You've been making fake profiles on YT & Twitter since 2018 with made up stats. Wentz is 18/31 vs .500 teams, only like 3 QBs have a winning record vs .500 teams, Brady is one of them. Focus on your poor grammar then on logically sound syllogisms for argumentation. Right now you're engaging in Fractal Wrongness.
If it wasn't for Wentz philadelphia probably never made the play offs .his down fall was injury to his knee that took him out the last few games before the superbowl
Probably got another 5 seasons of getting paid as a backup. Got the easiest backup spot now too, he’s Mahomes backup in Kansas City. He’ll only see mop up duty in blowouts.
Amazing point man. Totally agree with you. No surprise that at the combine Wentz scored double the avg score on the cognitive test loll. If destroying one's career means u end up with all that loot and ontop being on the sidelines for most of the time, then sign me up loll
Yeah, but would be relevant to this vider only if Wentz never played well in competition. He played tremendously well in college, and then in the beginning of his NFL career, when not injured.
What, the statue? HAH, Mate, I'm a fucking Aussie and even I know about the statue. BDN the Philly Goat: "You wan't Philly Philly? Yeah, let's run it."
That’s pretty thorough lol, “hero ball” was absolutely his downfall. One little tidbit I think you missed - the colts gm was on record pleading with wentz to “just take the layups”. He was doing this early in his career, idk why he abandoned it. Such a shame
Ironically Wentz's head was his biggest enemy for sure. He either overthought or obsessed over every bump in the road. He was great at mastering the playbook and interpreting coverages but when something went wrong he couldn't just use it for fuel & move forward. In a high stakes, what-have you-done-for-me-lately business like NFL, that kind of obsessing will turn you into a basket case. A. Luck is a great contrast - he was a super smart QB, too, but was also gifted at keeping his head straight when things are went wrong. Night & day....
Actually, you were off a bit on some of it. Not only did Wentz refuse to work with Pederson, but the Birds fired Pederson to placate Wentz. Then even after that, Wentz demanded a trade from the Birds. It was at that point he lost any fans that still had any love for him. He just handled things so poorly.
Pederson publicly stabbed Carson in the back, several months after Howie stabbed him in the back. Once he was benched, his time in Philly was over...there was no coming back when it is obvious your front office doesn't want you. Doug being fired had nothing to do with Carson, it had to do with Doug wanting more power in the organization and Laurie/Howie wanting it all to themselves. Doug basically fired himself because they wouldn't give him any say in the organization despite earning more than they wanted him to have. Basically, Howie tanked a Superbowl roster and the easy targets for him to save his job were Carson and Doug and he whacked them both. You're just a typical, gullible Philly fan.
@@travelingfool9096 why would he want to stay in Philly? If you were one of the best people on the planet at a skill that is valued and your general manager kept fucking up and blaming you for his failures, would you want to stay and work for him? How about if your other supervisor publicly did not have your back just months later? Would you still want to work there??? How many times did Philly management need to stab him in the back and not support him before he needed a fresh start. Unfortunately for him, the owner of his fresh start was a fucking lunatic.
@@AK-ll2dhyou don’t need to be an insulting douchebag at the end of your rant. Sometimes it’s OK to have a conversation with someone and actually have dialogue, even if you disagree. The need to be insulting - for literally no reason - speaks to your character, not mine.
@@Mike-or6tw you literally lied about how it went down because telling a lie makes you feel better than telling the truth, and you want to cry about my character??? If being called gullible on the Internet has triggered you, then it says a lot more about you than it does me. I can probably tell you exactly what you think about most of the key Eagles players and management because you have already demonstrated that you don't think for yourself. But why lie about Carson and Pederson and then lie again about why Doug was fired???
Nick Foles winning that Super Bowl completely screwed up Carson's head, he was determined to prove that he was better and that HE could win a game and a championship and from then he's been chasing that narrative
Real Talk He was BALLING OUT Then that happened and his missed out on an MVP of The League and A SUPERBowl W & likely MVP there as well That messed Him up for sure & He’s the type that confidence is everything When He was The Man & His Team & Teammates love him n hyped him up He was on top of the world and playing like it Then backup BDN came in and did everything he felt he was supposed to do Wentz was on His way to an MVP of The League in His 2nd season Ish is wild how much that all changed everything He’s definitely in the best place to get His Game Back though Backing up there is where He needs to be He can learn more and get His confidence back up as a backup 😉 N if he gets in there He’ll be put in a great position again like His 2nd season It will be his best team since then to throw to & play ball with
If there is anyone in this world that can turn him around it is Andy Reid. Sitting behind Mahomes, who is known to be an amazing mentor is the highest honor in the NFL today. Carson didn’t look horrible yesterday and Andy has the best shot at wrangling and ensuring his head is straight.
Yes, for sure if Andy Reid would have been able to work with Carson Wentz since he was a rookie. It's way too little, way too late to salvage Wentz now and he is only on a 1-year deal with the Chiefs as a backup.
I don't disagree, but I just don't see Wentz ever being good again. Serviceable? Maybe, but not good, and certainly not great ... I just don't think he's that good. Once DCs got tape on him he was toast, but it's what's between his ears that's the biggest issues. He's as sensitive as they come, and if he didn't have success in Indy, I don't see him having it anywhere. I do agree that Reid gives him the best chance though, and I hope he proves me wrong.
That was the most scripted game I seen. The Chargers and Colts layer down the final few weeks for Roethlisberger to make the playoffs in his final season. Reminds me of Peyton Manning winning the Super Bowl in his final season with all that plot armor
@@Carbon420Blazing 2021 was when Carson's first season as a Colt, throughout the season he had some great games but he also had some horrible games and the team was relying mainly on their workhorse jonathan taylor, the colts were 9-7 in week 18 and all they had to do was beat the 2-14 jaguars to make it to the playoffs but wentz and the colts played absolutely disgraceful football and they lost 26-11
Having post 2017 Wentz as your QB was an unbelievable ride. He was capable of the best plays you've ever seen, just to follow them up with the most boneheaded mistake no rookie would ever make. When Howie drafted Hurts I was beyond confused back then, but his demeanor being the polar opposite to Wentz' meant that the entire team wanted him to start immediately. Especially the O-Line, who hated Wentz for taking tons of sacks for no good reason, loved Hurts from day 1 and were pushing for him hard. I'm happy every day that Howie drafted Hurts, who by now can do everything Wentz ever could but better. In the end Wentz has (or maybe had) everything to be one of the best QBs in the league, but his ego ruined everything.
I’m not I wish eagles trusted him more and gave him help except drafting his replacement bc it has been proven that the wr they drafted from tcu was a bust and untill ertz left that was wentz best receiver and the sad part is I’m a eagles fan and I see the bs
This is an incredible long spanning retrospective, but you missed something, which I as an Eagles fan will not forget. Before they traded Wentz, the Eagles fired Doug Pederson, to seemingly try to placate Wentz and keep him here. Even when they were willing to destroy their coaching staff for the guy, he opted to move on.
Later on Doug was seen in camp with Wentz after that as if Doug was never the issue. It was reported the issue was the front office. Because in 2020 the Eagles drafted another QB in the second round even though their need was WR pretty bad. And even drafting a WR the round before they did a very bad selection at it which seen most of the NFL laughing at them. Reports were Wentz felt they were not doing enough to support him with weapons. It was just 2019 when Wentz set the Eagles passing season record with no true number 1 WR. That year most of the WRs were injured and Ertz was the leading catcher! Then in 2020 injuries killed them on offense leaving only Wentz and Kelce healthy all of that year. But in the end the team seemed to blame Wentz. With time by a good Oline and scrub WRs we seen Wentz set a passing yards record for a season. Now the team with no healthy Oline nor WRs wants to give all the blame to Wentz which was not fair. Any decent QB would want out. But Colts were no better. There Oline in 2021 ranked 3rd last in pass protection. The commanders were just as bad ranking bottom in pass protection as well. The only reason Wentz backup did better in games is because he scrambled to make plays happen but coaches were trying to stop Wentz from doing that since he was injured a lot early in his career.
I'm not a NDSU, Eagles, Colts, Redskins, or Wentz fan. I still think the man still got what it takes to be a starter for some teams. He's more mature and came back from the dead. KC made a great decision in signing him.
Carson didn’t have the mental fortitude to be an NFL QB and he couldn’t put his ego aside. Both Nick Foles and then Jalen Hurts replaced him and both went to the Super Bowl with the Eagles.
When they started Hurts his rookie year, it was obvious to even casual fans like myself that Hurts has the mental discipline to handle the role. He always seem laser focused, as well as always having an even keel with his emotions. I was not shocked that he was in a super bowl a couple years later. I wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles got back this year due to Hurts.
The Carson Wentz and Ben Simmons situations should vindicate Philly fans of many accusations they have endured. To anyone who objects and wants to bring up the Santa thing, your daddy wasn’t even alive when that happened.
The santa thing is dumb anyhow because it was a fcking drunk fan they carted out there 😂 I could see if history was fans snowballing a "working santa," but it was some drunk in a suit
Comparing Wentz to Simmons is pretty tough. There are a LOT of QB's that would have a tough time returning from an ACL after their backup had just won a SB with THEIR team. Let's remember that before that injury, Wentz was at an MVP level and was BELOVED in Philly. Simmons was never close to that. He was an all-star and a good player but they're really different.
Im not making any value judgements but Philly is a rough town (spent 6 months there and got mugged at gunpoint twice, I grew up in LA, never happened there) and rough on it's sports stars. Definitely the type of people to boo Santa. That's not just a narrative. Also... "Working Santa?" (You were about to say "real Santa" weren't you?) Lol. What's a working Santa? How are they distinguished from drunks in suits? Seems to me most Santas are drunks in suits. Please introduce me to the respectable professional Santas who put so much effort into their craft. And my daddy was born in 1935...
Carson is a textbook illustration of the old adage that an unbounded strength is a weakness. Smart, but didn't know when (or how) to listen, and tried to play hero ball when he needed to check down and move to the next play. He is also outspoken about his faith in a way that offputs his team mates.
@@spikenomoon Not questioning his faith or even if he is a good guy or not - by all accounts he was and is. However, the way he manifested it was off-putting to many of his teammates and ownership. Why do you think Inday canned him? Having faith doesn't require one to be offensive about it.
All these football players go on about their faith. It's all sky pointing and "I want to thank God." Plus its majority black and black Americans are on average more overtly Christian.
I think 95% of the time the whole "anonymous player or source" is all bs just made up by the sports media to stir the pot. People act like news isn't about actual news anymore and just drama and bs.
yoooo!!! these are awesome, your ability to tell a story keeps getting better! Keep up the great work! these are a treat for us sports fans. no silly bs added..
@SheGotSports You never disappoint for real you truly are very cute smart intelligent young lady Lauren I'm ready for the 2024 NFL Season! I know that you are too!😎
We can talk about injuries, but Carson Wentz just didn't have the mental fortitude to be an NFL QB. He never found a positive way to handle adversity and seemed to be a case of small town kid who let big time success get to his brain to the point that he went out doing it "his way"
@@BostonBori92 Boston, what NFL team did you play for? Oh, that's right, you don't have the mental fortitude to play in the NFL. Stay in mommy's basement where it's safe.
15:28 That Double Doink run was a run that almost had Philly in the Championship Game against the Rams. It’s that one Jeffrey drop that could have swung the game.
Them winning the Super Bowl with Foles was one thing, but building that statue and shrine and treating Wentz like chopped liver really messed with his mental
The shrine was to give Foles confidence as nobody believed in him since he didnt play well before Vikings game. The statue was a gift from Bud Light. But I agree, mentally I wouldn't be able to overcome the scenario Wentz had to go through. He did the heavy lifting and Foles had all the credit. It took both of them to win that year.
Dude had a serious Jeff George vibe. I remember a quote from one of George's O linemen who said he never got Jeff sacked on purpose, but when he did get beaten and gave up a sack, it didn't bother him nearly as much as it did when he was blocking for QBs he didn't despise.
I’ll always be grateful for him as his MVP season and contributions in 2017 gave Nick Foles the opportunity to lead us to our very first Super Bowl. That makes him one of the greats imo.
"Our very first Superbowl". How embarrassing. A team in the NFC East with the Giants, Redskins and Cowboys dominance finally gets one Superbowl win. The Eagles are an embarrassment to the NFC EAST.
Wentz grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota, played for NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. His entire life he was the big fish in a little pond and was treated accordingly. Making it to the NFL makes him an elite athlete, but think of the competition he faced growing up in North Dakota. How easy it was for him to dominate through sheer talent because he really had very few peers. How much adversity did he ever face competing against kids in high school who would be mediocre DII players? At NDSU he played against teams that were lucky to have a single NFL draft pick on their rosters. Growing up with that obviously gave him an inflated sense of entitlement. Because he never developed a sense of humility, because he could always win games all by himself, it is no wonder he kept playing hero ball in the NFL. He has the talent but not the right emotion...humility.
Philly is a tough town--if you're not playing hard, or are egotistical, the fans will let you know exactly how they feel about you. Wentz could have turned it around like Alec Bohm, but he didn't.
@@emptyhand777 North Dakota is a bubble in itself. Where normal society corrections don't happen. The classism and pretentiousness that happen there should be studied. Some of the people in and from there are the best you'll ever meet. Problem is there are 100s of pple like Wentz in every place up there...and they all have parents
@@thedustsonThis post is spot on. It’s as if you’ve visited ND for 7 mins and figured it out!! I mean this in all seriousness. And I’ve lived here 51 yrs!!
Carson was so talented. He was as big Cam Newton and threw 40+ yd bombs, but he was never the same after tearing his ACL. When he first started he carried our team, then he sandbagged us after our receivers kept getting hurt and we were playing with practice squad heros. Sad to see him fall from grace
@@AlexRosner-v8t injuries bro. yeah Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson were healthy but they’re legends, and they don’t play receiver. you can listen to kelce talk about how good Carson was during his interviews btw
Another great analysis - also goes to show that stats are often overblown - take his one year in Indy. 27-7 TD-INT and at times it looked like Wentz had never seen the game played before.
Was at the game they played the Titans in Indy and told some colts fans behind me Wentz would mess up game tied almost in their end zone,next play he tries to throw it with his left hand after being pressured for a pick 6… couldn’t make this up 😂
As a Philly local and Eagles fan, thiis is when I knew we had made a mistake. I think It was 2018, and there was a gun violence epidemic in Philly. So a group of athletes from all four sports went down to address a group of high school students about gun safety. Great. Good. Fine. Wentz headed back to the stadium and a reporter tagged along. Now, I don’t know if any other cities had a 4:30 PM news, but Philly did. So they decide to do a live interviiew - and the first question was an utter softball (something like “How was your off-season?” Remember, this is the afternoon of the day with the anti-gun violence workshop. Now, Carson could give any answer he wanted to this reporter. What does he go with? How much he loves guns and hunting. Followed by him pulling out a catalogue to show the reporter all the shotguns he bought his offensive linemen at the end of the season. Fine. Whatever. But then he opens up his locker to show this reporter the two shotguns he had in there that he was “working on.” I I don’t care that he likes guns, but read the freakiN room, buddy. Perhaps don’t valorize guns during a gun violence epidemic. He didn’t seem to care about anything that didn’t directly affect him, and seemed not to have much concern for the needs of anyone other than him. You can’t lead a team If you only care about yourself.
So out of his entire career, him liking firearms and talking about the good side of firearms made you mad? 😂 welcome to America bud. 2nd amendment is a lovely thing. Unfortunately highly protected politicians think everyday citizens shouldn’t have them so they can keep control(remember why we have the 2nd amendment). Laws only stop law abiding citizens not criminals who don’t give a fuck about the laws. More lives are saved by firearms than taken. You want less gun violence? Let citizens have the option to protect themselves. Less people will be willing to use firearms to harm others if they know there’s a good chance rounds will be returned. All that being said, I do believe training should be required.
@ That’s not the point at all. While he was here, over and over again I watched him throw into tight windows when there were guys wide open. Well, he’d just come from this very somber ceremony remembering dead children and talking about gun violence. A reporter asked him a question that left the field wide open - he clhiae the most contested subject to discuss. He took an easy question and made it unnecessarily difficult, while also showing an utter lack of empathy. You know how announcers talk about situational awareness? That was Wentz’s weakness, both professionally and interpersonally. Let me ask you this: If your buddy just lost their job, and they ask what’s new with you, does that seem to be the best time to bring up your promotion, even if you are really excited about it? It’s not the topic - it’s the insensitivity.
Maybe it was a conscious decision in attempt to set right people like you who equate responsible gun ownership and self defense with gang violence and the mentally ill. Although I'll admit it was misguided. You're never going to get leftists to believe that everyone has the right to protect themselves and their families. That's for Democrat politicians and people rich enough to afford personal security. Funny every time I see a liberal anti gun politician go to a gun control rally they have armed security with them. Its like read the room... Gtfoh.
In 5 seasons Carson Wentz has 0 playoff wins 52 fumbles. He is 7-20 vs teams over 500. He has no heart no desire to win. His teammates hate him. He makes everyone around him worse. He started 5-6 in 4 of his first 5 seasons. Eagles are 24-6 in their last 30 games with Foles
As an Eagles fan I love Wentz for how he got thing started in 2017. Foles was able to pivot. I have often wondered if there were things going on in Carson's personal life, dating/engagement/babies that shifted his focus as well and caused his on field downfall and inconsistency.
As a huge Eagles fan and resident in Philly I have to say you are very knowledgeable. You did a amazing job summing up the wentz era in Philly and his career afterwards. You were right on the money
@@emilionarvaez1415 Not true his inability to adapt to not playing hero ball once his team got healthy was his actual downfall...He had that run of carrying the Eagles when they had major injuries on the O then once those guys came back Carson couldn't stop playing aggressive he was scrambling alot and forcing the ball trying to make big home run plays instead of just moving the chains

A couple things come to mind. Wentz was on pace to throw 40 TD's when he got hurt, he would have easily won the MVP. Also when Foles was drafted he was doing great too with record setting games, he was supposed to win a Superbowl his first stint with the Eagles. It was ironic he came back and won it as the backup. Wentz definitely had a bad attitude, if your teammates hate you you better take a look in the mirror.
In Philly whenever he talked you could tell to him the rest of the team were his servants. He also only cared about religion and hunting. They were the only two thoughts in his head.
My Mom was such a huge Nick Foles fan. After she moved to Tucson, she became a huge Wildcats fan, and she was thrilled with Foles Superbowl. Lost her recently, but still think kindly of the joy she got from that.
Nah Wentz was overrated coming out college, had a great '17 season with the best roster in football, otherwise, he was and is just an average to below avg qb
Clooney speared Foles in the Texans game in 2018 during the Eagles 4th quarter comeback. Foles got up, led the Eagles to second of 4 straight wins (Rams, Texans, Washington, Chicago). If Brandon Brooks doesn't get hurt, they probably beat NO as well. Foles just led better and made better decisions.
When the media has a narrative on you, it's tedious to contextualize everything. Carson is still my favorite player (Eagles fan for 22 years), because without him, Foles would never have the chance to play in SB. It took both of them to win that year. The people who want to discredit Wentz as a significant contributor are dishonest. In that case Marc-Andre Fleury in NHL should give back 2 of his 3 rings since he didnt play in Stanley Cup final, Murray was the goalie for both wins. Yet he's considered a 3 time Stanley Cup winner. It's a team game! Now if Wentz was like Nate Sudfeld and didnt play basically, it would be a different story. But Wentz was arguably the best player in the NFL that year and the main reason they had BYE and homefield advantage. Now that alone doesnt guarantee a SB but what it does do, is put them in best position to win SB. Wentz never really had NFL playoff experience, and Foles never finished a full season in his career. Foles also went 10 quarters without a TD that SB year, had worst QBR in NFL then arguably played best back to back playoff games ever. Pats defense got shredded with Foles who was a stationary QB. Wentz was a dual threat that year, before his injury he was HIM. I think the pressure of trying to win SB all on his own after that, and the Clowney dirty hit put too much pressure and he didn't have the mental fortitude to overcome it. Whatever one thinks of his personality, fans need to be grateful for his contributions to the SB year as he was the catalyst that put them in the best position to win! The shrine for Foles was also there because everyone knew that Foles needed more confidence especially the way reg season ended, and his Falcons game was awful. Foles was never really consistent (Apart from 2013 when he had Prime Djack and prime Shady). He needed all the help he could and the shrine made him believe that his teammates believed in him. I think that helped his confidence. I love Foles and I am grateful for both Wentz and Foles that year. Without one of them, we dont win. I still believe pre-torn ACL he would have shredded Pats defense, but we will never know. What we do know is that we won Superbowl with both of their contributions. There's a reason why Eagles became underdogs after Wentz went down. In 2017 Wentz had: #1 QBR in NFL #3 EPA #1 PPG with him at helm #1 3rd/4th down conversion #1 tight window throw 23-0 in RZ (Currently in 2024 has one of the best RZ TD/INT ratio in NFL history 110 TD 6 INT). 33 TDs in 13 games 11-2 record Pro Bowl All pro Won 2017 NFL POTY (Bert Bell) award as not only the best QB but the best player. I wrote an article with contextualized advanced analytics during his Eagles tenure: medium.com/@justintime25/the-case-for-carson-d339e2614c04 One for Colts in 2021: medium.com/@justintime25/carson-the-colt-1d06459fb8e2 Crazy is (I love Hurts btw) Carson still holds the Eagles passing records and his best receivers were Jeffery and Agholor. Most TD passes (2017) Most yards (2019) Best comp% (2018) Scored a TD pass in all 16 games in 2019 (1st Eagles QB to ever do it and 3rd QB in history to ever do it). Whilst Hurts has had the most stacked team of any Eagles QB. All Pro receivers etc. Wentz really just had 2 bad seasons since 2016. His last year with Eagles in 2020 (Where team was also decimated with injuries/lack of talent) and in 2022 with Washington. He had a great game with Rams vs 49ers (3 TDs, converted 2 4th downs) both teams didnt play whole roster and some top players for both teams played like half the game. But mentally had he folded, his career would be over. He played like his career was on the line and it was. They needed to win so that Stafford could play against his former team the Lions. Chiefs also got Wentz to do QB sneaks because they dont want to risk Mahomes getting hurt again doing it. Wentz since 2016 has had the most successful rate in QB sneaks until the Eagles "Tush push" came along. I really want KC to reach SB and Carson to have a QB sneak TD! I think it will be very emotional for him and a good comeback/feel good story. One thing we can never question about Carson, is that he put everything on the line body wise. He plays hard, one of the toughest players physically. I think anyone's mental game (Apart from Brady, Mahomes and few others) would have trouble overcoming the injuries he's had, pressure in Philly, seeing another QB win the SB while you did the heavy lifting to get them there. I know I wouldn't be able to.
I was nodding my head in agreement until the end. Part of being a professional player is that you need the mental fortitude for it to not bother you. If it does, you aren't one of the best. Thus, if it did. Wentz is an average pro QB that had the same flash in the pan string of games, much like Foles.
@@reubensandwich9249 This is why he's not one of the best (like HOF players). Simply that he was underrated and over-hated by media/fans. He has his flaws and that Clowney hit where he couldn't recognize his wife made him panic when pocket collapses. Even after his torn ACL, he still played well in 2018 and 2019. 2021 was a good bounce back from 2020. 2022 was bad. Rams game he played well considering he had one game to save his career which is prob why he signed for slightly more $ with the Chiefs. Advanced analytics show he's better than what people make him out to be. But he'll never be an all time great. (Pre-torn ACL who knows, but that is long gone). Overall Wentz is better than Foles but I can see your point.
Yup exactly. I don't get the hate on Wentz. He was sabotaged his career after he helped win the Super Bowl. Howie drafted junk for receivers, and then drafted a QB instead of more help. Then Irsay was always high and didn't give him the help. I don't need to say more about Snyder. Despite it all, he remained positive and strong. Only reason he's still here is how mentally strong he is.
Imagine the feeling of getting benched for a rookie 2nd rounder QB that has no experience playing in the NFL as much as you are and then got traded in the offseason and has been playing for 3 different teams
Love the clip of her from years back - proof she's a legit NFL lifer, not like some of the dudes on YT I'm convinced just started following NFL or NBA to adopt a good niche for their channel🤣
@@egglordsasuke8532 lol i didn't mean anything about gender at all -I should've said "creators" instead of "dudes," my bad! Was thinking of videos I've seen from apparent sport-themed channels where it seemed like they knew nothing about sport except last few years...like they just got into it to make popular videos
Wentz was so good in the 2017 season, one can only wonder how the injury affected him. Some players who are brighter than most get shellacked by the press and lesser players. If they get hurt there's no sympathy.
Like Ted Williams? He was bright as hell and a gdamn combat fighter pilot and he still took mad sht from reporters and fans. He still managed to be great.
Carson Wentz was definitely flawed with leadership, but he received too much blame for the Eagles 2020 season. His receiving core was as follows: 1. Jalen Reagor (draft bust) 2. JJ Arcega-Whiteside (draft bust) 3. Quez Watkins (who Philly now understands is terrible lol) 4. John Hightower (99% of people probably don’t remember him) 5. Travis Fulgham (an Aaron Rodgers castaway) 6. Greg Ward (a college QB) And I didn’t even mention how bad the o-line was. People…..not a single one of these players are on the Eagles in 2024, who are making a championship run. To make matters worse, I think only Quez Watkins has a job right now. Still, he’s buried on Pittsburgh’s depth chart.
Sure. Financial independence is great. Winning is also great. Being a hero to fans is great. Having a legacy and being remembered... Great. This line of thinking is so reductive. You can want riches AND success. And plenty of athletes have achieved all of the above.
That playoff game vs. the Vikings was one of my favorite games. The Vikings fans were fully expecting to blow the Eagles out. They came into town, talked a lot of smack, and dressed up Rocky in their gear. And then their team got embarrassed. Then they cried for a solid year about how mean Eagles fans were. Some of them said the Eagles should have to forfeit because the Eagles fans are mean.
Gee! With Lauren feeling that bummed about the Giants loss to the Eagles, if she had been around in the 1970s, two aspects: 1. Giants tickets were easy to get. 2. Their seasons were so abysmal, she may have been tempted to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
I've been a Seahawks fan since 79. I KNOW MISERY!!! Playing for an Irsay is Misery. Sons not a Bad a Daddy, but that ain't saying much. The Irsays are Bitter Drunks who take it out on Their Teams.
And he's still playing so tekton is speaking. His career is not even over. And he's still making more than 20 times the average American salary so he's quite comfortable and his career is not even over. So really it's not really destroyed.
@@archmage7813Just imagine if Wentz pulled a Jim Plunkett and got one more chance at being a starting quarterback and won a Super Bowl. Stranger things have happened. The talent is there, it’s just a mentality thing. I do feel for him, just imagine having an MVP caliber season, then getting injured for the rest of the year, and your backup not only rallies the troops and wins the Super Bowl but they make a damn statue of your replacement that sits in front of the Eagles stadium, you’d have to be extremely mentally strong to not let that bother you.
Great video. Glad this showed up in my recommended. 1. How did you get all of this film/put all of this together? Did you do that yourself or an editor? 2. How do you feel about Danny dimes this season?
As a Philly fan, watching Wentz and Ben Simmons both have an initial meteoric rise followed by them basically imploding side by side was tough to watch.
As a diehard Eagles fan I can say Carson Wentz it's one of the worst QB's I've seen in a long time. I haven't seen a player place so poorly since 1999 when Donovan Mcnabb was drafted. I'm talking about after he got hit by Jadeveon Clowney. That was a dirty hit and that truly ended his career he hasn't been the same ever since and unfortunately his career ended way to soon.
As a colts fan I'm still ticked off he sold us from not making the playoffs. All we have to do is beat the worst team in the league and win. But no we turn into a laughingstock because of that.
He has real social issues. He grew up in rural North Dakota and then went to college in rural North Dakota. So he saw NO diversity for the first 20 years of his life. Then he ends up in the NFL (dominated by African Americans) huge culture shock. On top of that, he ends up in Philly (A huge city with almost 50% African American pop). I am not saying he is a racist. I doubt that, but he was really uncomfortable around black people and that's not good in this league. This was an issue on the team as he only had a relationship with several white players and that's about it. Zach Ertz set the all time signal season reception record because he tossed the ball to him even in coverage (don't get me wrong Zach was a beast). But that became a problem to the rest of the team. He would change plays to throw to Zach. That's not good. The same thing happened when he went to Indy. He did not listen to the coaches and was asked to leave less than a year later. Nick came in and spread the ball around exposing weaknesses all over the defenses (just ask the Vikes and Patriots), If not for a dropped pass to Alshon the next year we would have been in the Superbowl in back to backs. That's a real teammate.
Good video! Carson actually forced his way out of Philly. If he stayed with my Eagles, I don't know if we would have seen Hurts grow into our franchise QB.
@DarkKirby14LP The way I heard it, Wentz wanted out. I heard that from several sources. The Eagles took a huge cap hit. I actually wanted Wentz to stay. I still believed he could carry the team. In the end, it worked out since Hurts has become our franchise QB.
Im sorry your a giants fan, as a philly fan the 2017 season was such a great time for us, and finally we won a 🏆... that rams game changed him for rest of his career. As a eagles fan if we kept foles we couldve got 2 or 3 rings. But wentz and howie went another way... wentz was great but spoiled.
I just think Wentz's mind got blown when he got injured and had to watch Nick Foles become a league legend in his stead. Imagine having to come to work every day seeing that dumba** Nick Foles statue in front of the stadium. He put too much pressure on himself.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6definitely the fans and the organization killed his confidence he was never he same then you draft hurts that next year didn’t help him
Do you even know where it is? I'll give you insight because I know where it is. It's at the north entrance to the stadium. For him to see it every day, he'd have to go to turn the other direction on Broad (Novacare complex is on west side, stadium on east), park and walk through closed parking lots, and open a locked gate because you can't see it. On game day, players enter through the south. So he'd have to enter the concourse where the fans mingle. And to further illistrate how foolish your comment is. Pederson still has never seen it.
Giving credibility to anonymous sources is irresponsible as it isn’t confirmed whether such statements were made from any player. For all you know it could be the same source who leaked the DeSean Jackson gang affiliation rumors. Carson’s receivers were weak because to Howie Roseman made them that way. Carson broke an NFL record with a terrible receiving core and instead of rewarding him that clown decided to forgo on CeeDee Lamb as trading the second pick to move up meant he couldn’t draft Hurts. He then decided it was a good idea to go on national television and likening drafting Hurts to a time where he decided against drafting Russell Wilson. That distasteful and disrespectful act from a GM would alarm ANY QB especially given that the QB mentioned played for team who hit your starting QB with a cheap shot. Yet Wentz never said ANY thing foul about him even though he wouldn’t have been lying in the slightest. You don’t draft a backup and liken him to Russell Wilson PUBLICLY because you don’t draft a Russell Wilson to back up anybody. That move was a head scratcher for everyone that year. You don’t draft a back up that high with veterans in the FA pool who could AT LEAST serve as a mentor. In week 17 vs the Raiders, Carson left the field with the LEAD before the last ranking 4th Q Colts defense let Derek Carr carve them up with a kick to end regulation. I had season tickets and watched QB after QB take the lead with next to triple zeros on regulation. The Colts have notoriously had issues in Jacksonville. The Colts being one game away in a weird 17 week COVID season ABSENT training camp was very good. Carson Wentz had a passer rating of 94.6 with 3,563 yards, 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 17 games in Indy. (not mentioned) Jim Irsay didn’t like him and unless he went 13-3 nothing was keeping him around. The talk about leadership in Indy is absolute bullshit. Leonard, Taylor, Kelly, and Pittman were all upset he was leaving. Frank wanted him and the GM and owner didn’t it’s as plain as that. As someone who personally knows Carson and has talked about everything from Philly to Indy to his foundation to 94WIP dude is a class act. What people don’t like about him is that his confidence doesn’t come from what people think about him so he doesn’t go out of his way to MAKE people like him. You either get him or you don’t and people who are people pleasers mistake that for arrogance. He’s met my family and we haven’t met a cooler, down to earth and self aware athlete.
At Indy you didn't know if you'd get hero Wentz or hero-ball Wentz. One drive, instead of just throwing it away he'll try to left hand throw the ball and a defensive lineman gets a pick 6. Next series he's prime Wentz and they score a TD.
One of the biggest mistakes was his improper treatment of Jalen Hurts with whom he was suppose to mentor but was envious of but players watch and regretted
I've seen a few of these, "What happened to carson" videos and this is by the far the best one. Both is substance and form and providing your own insights and commentary throughout. I have another theory, even more simple which you didn't touch on. (Life long Eagle fan by the way, and appreciate you giving props when Elliot beat your team. Respect! ;). For me, it was all in Carson's head: Yes, he was legit injured on the run to the SB, but I couldn't imagine seeing a statue of my back up. From that moment where the city had annoited Foles and Doug to immortal status, it was over. The merciful thing for the Eagles and Carson to do was to trade him immediately. Because from a mental point of view, there is no way to live in Foles shadow, let alone his statue, and while Foles is still there! It was too much for anyone, let alone Carson who then just couldn't handle it. His other injuries, caused by his style of play, etc contributed, but my advice would have been: Leave Philly, never come back, and do your best somewhere else. Anyhow: great video, look forward to watching more!

Hey, not to be mean or anything, but how did you go from looking like that in your old video to looking how you look now? I'm just wondering?
@@youngmasai1347 the old video in this video from after the eagles game?
Nick Foles playoff run was nothing short of legendary, came off the bench and brought Philly a chip. On another note, your reaction to the giants loss has been me over the last 5 years after every game the bills have lost in heart shattering fashion. Which are endless
In 5 seasons Carson Wentz has 0 playoff wins 52 fumbles. He is 7-20 vs teams over 500. He has no heart no desire to win. His teammates hate him. He makes everyone around him worse. He started 5-6 in 4 of his first 5 seasons. Eagles are 24-6 in their last 30 games with Foles..
Foles run was legendary. It was like Doug Williams performance in Super Bowl XXII in 1988.
Foles is a fringe starter. You wouldn’t want him to be your starting QB, but you would want him to be your backup QB.
@@AlexRosner-v8t You've been making fake profiles on YT & Twitter since 2018 with made up stats. Wentz is 18/31 vs .500 teams, only like 3 QBs have a winning record vs .500 teams, Brady is one of them. Focus on your poor grammar then on logically sound syllogisms for argumentation. Right now you're engaging in Fractal Wrongness.
So he’s 13 games under 500 vs winning teams just like I said doofus
If it wasn't for Wentz philadelphia probably never made the play offs .his down fall was injury to his knee that took him out the last few games before the superbowl
He picked up $128,000,000.00 in the process of destroying his career. He'll survive.
bro is indeed set for life
Pocket watcher 😭😭
Probably got another 5 seasons of getting paid as a backup. Got the easiest backup spot now too, he’s Mahomes backup in Kansas City. He’ll only see mop up duty in blowouts.
Plus his career isn't actually over. He's a pretty well paid backup in Kansas City. He's still making 20 times what the average American makes.
Amazing point man. Totally agree with you. No surprise that at the combine Wentz scored double the avg score on the cognitive test loll. If destroying one's career means u end up with all that loot and ontop being on the sidelines for most of the time, then sign me up loll
Nick Foles took his opportunity and rightly so. He stepped up, gave Philly a Super Bowl, he deserved his MVP.
The moral of this story is, When someone shows you who they are over and over again..... Believe Them!
No
@@PBLightning145huh?
Ben Simmons... yet the NBA seems to be a lot more gullible 😅
Two things that teams should NEVER base their draft upon:
1. Combine
2. Wonderlic
No kidding, right?! Boggles my mind.
Former Pats QB scored a perfect Wonderlich and couldn't make the NFL
Yeah, but would be relevant to this vider only if Wentz never played well in competition. He played tremendously well in college, and then in the beginning of his NFL career, when not injured.
All things being equal Id prefer a guy with basic intelligence over one without. But either way Id prefer a guy who's good at football. Lol.
I didnt even know about the shrine. That, the SB victory and the statue did it for him.
Surprised you didn't know.
Do research max kellerman was always right when he would constantly argue with it lovely that wentz is poison
Foles & Pederson beat Brady & Belichick in the Super Bowl.
What, the statue? HAH, Mate, I'm a fucking Aussie and even I know about the statue. BDN the Philly Goat: "You wan't Philly Philly? Yeah, let's run it."
@@alittlecreepywhenyou No, the shrine lol
That’s pretty thorough lol, “hero ball” was absolutely his downfall. One little tidbit I think you missed - the colts gm was on record pleading with wentz to “just take the layups”. He was doing this early in his career, idk why he abandoned it. Such a shame
Ironically Wentz's head was his biggest enemy for sure. He either overthought or obsessed over every bump in the road. He was great at mastering the playbook and interpreting coverages but when something went wrong he couldn't just use it for fuel & move forward. In a high stakes, what-have you-done-for-me-lately business like NFL, that kind of obsessing will turn you into a basket case.
A. Luck is a great contrast - he was a super smart QB, too, but was also gifted at keeping his head straight when things are went wrong. Night & day....
Andrew Luck had the joy pummeled out of him. His OL was weaker than a sponge but he still held on.
@@AceKing-h3j how many superbowls did Andrew Luck win?
The same as Wentz
@@thebeasters. Wait, u mean u think Wentz and Luck were sort of the same?
Luck was light years more talented than Wentz.
Actually, you were off a bit on some of it. Not only did Wentz refuse to work with Pederson, but the Birds fired Pederson to placate Wentz. Then even after that, Wentz demanded a trade from the Birds. It was at that point he lost any fans that still had any love for him. He just handled things so poorly.
Pederson publicly stabbed Carson in the back, several months after Howie stabbed him in the back. Once he was benched, his time in Philly was over...there was no coming back when it is obvious your front office doesn't want you. Doug being fired had nothing to do with Carson, it had to do with Doug wanting more power in the organization and Laurie/Howie wanting it all to themselves. Doug basically fired himself because they wouldn't give him any say in the organization despite earning more than they wanted him to have.
Basically, Howie tanked a Superbowl roster and the easy targets for him to save his job were Carson and Doug and he whacked them both.
You're just a typical, gullible Philly fan.
exactly, I defended him and was still a believer, but when he demand a trade, he lost me.
@@travelingfool9096 why would he want to stay in Philly? If you were one of the best people on the planet at a skill that is valued and your general manager kept fucking up and blaming you for his failures, would you want to stay and work for him? How about if your other supervisor publicly did not have your back just months later? Would you still want to work there???
How many times did Philly management need to stab him in the back and not support him before he needed a fresh start.
Unfortunately for him, the owner of his fresh start was a fucking lunatic.

@@robertsmith2088I wonder how many he would have if they didn’t steal signals
Nick Foles winning that Super Bowl completely screwed up Carson's head, he was determined to prove that he was better and that HE could win a game and a championship and from then he's been chasing that narrative
Real Talk
He was BALLING OUT
Then that happened and his missed out on an MVP of The League and A SUPERBowl W
& likely MVP there as well
That messed Him up for sure
& He’s the type that confidence is everything
When He was The Man & His Team & Teammates love him n hyped him up He was on top of the world and playing like it
Then backup BDN came in and did everything he felt he was supposed to do
Wentz was on His way to an MVP of The League in His 2nd season
Ish is wild how much that all changed everything
He’s definitely in the best place to get His Game Back though
Backing up there is where He needs to be
He can learn more and get His confidence back up as a backup 😉
N if he gets in there He’ll be put in a great position again like His 2nd season
It will be his best team since then to throw to & play ball with
If there is anyone in this world that can turn him around it is Andy Reid. Sitting behind Mahomes, who is known to be an amazing mentor is the highest honor in the NFL today. Carson didn’t look horrible yesterday and Andy has the best shot at wrangling and ensuring his head is straight.
Yall forget Carson beat SF in sf last year while on the Rams
Yes, for sure if Andy Reid would have been able to work with Carson Wentz since he was a rookie. It's way too little, way too late to salvage Wentz now and he is only on a 1-year deal with the Chiefs as a backup.
@@biozio186Josh Dobbs beat SF. and?
I don't disagree, but I just don't see Wentz ever being good again. Serviceable? Maybe, but not good, and certainly not great ... I just don't think he's that good. Once DCs got tape on him he was toast, but it's what's between his ears that's the biggest issues. He's as sensitive as they come, and if he didn't have success in Indy, I don't see him having it anywhere.
I do agree that Reid gives him the best chance though, and I hope he proves me wrong.
Alex Smith mentored Mahomes. Mahomes has acknowledged this.
That 2021 game against the Jaguars was one of the funniest moments in NFL history, and you can't convince me otherwise
That was the most scripted game I seen. The Chargers and Colts layer down the final few weeks for Roethlisberger to make the playoffs in his final season. Reminds me of Peyton Manning winning the Super Bowl in his final season with all that plot armor
What was funny about it? I never seen it
@@Carbon420Blazing 2021 was when Carson's first season as a Colt, throughout the season he had some great games but he also had some horrible games and the team was relying mainly on their workhorse jonathan taylor, the colts were 9-7 in week 18 and all they had to do was beat the 2-14 jaguars to make it to the playoffs but wentz and the colts played absolutely disgraceful football and they lost 26-11
@@imliterallybooni 🤣 thank you very much for the info
Having post 2017 Wentz as your QB was an unbelievable ride. He was capable of the best plays you've ever seen, just to follow them up with the most boneheaded mistake no rookie would ever make. When Howie drafted Hurts I was beyond confused back then, but his demeanor being the polar opposite to Wentz' meant that the entire team wanted him to start immediately. Especially the O-Line, who hated Wentz for taking tons of sacks for no good reason, loved Hurts from day 1 and were pushing for him hard. I'm happy every day that Howie drafted Hurts, who by now can do everything Wentz ever could but better.
In the end Wentz has (or maybe had) everything to be one of the best QBs in the league, but his ego ruined everything.
So true! Thanks for watching!
I’m not I wish eagles trusted him more and gave him help except drafting his replacement bc it has been proven that the wr they drafted from tcu was a bust and untill ertz left that was wentz best receiver and the sad part is I’m a eagles fan and I see the bs
Thank God Hurtzel never takes any sacks like wentzel.
that 2017 year was so magical. Life isnt fair sometimes and it sucks but you gotta hold your head up and not be selfish.
This is an incredible long spanning retrospective, but you missed something, which I as an Eagles fan will not forget. Before they traded Wentz, the Eagles fired Doug Pederson, to seemingly try to placate Wentz and keep him here. Even when they were willing to destroy their coaching staff for the guy, he opted to move on.
Later on Doug was seen in camp with Wentz after that as if Doug was never the issue. It was reported the issue was the front office. Because in 2020 the Eagles drafted another QB in the second round even though their need was WR pretty bad. And even drafting a WR the round before they did a very bad selection at it which seen most of the NFL laughing at them. Reports were Wentz felt they were not doing enough to support him with weapons. It was just 2019 when Wentz set the Eagles passing season record with no true number 1 WR. That year most of the WRs were injured and Ertz was the leading catcher! Then in 2020 injuries killed them on offense leaving only Wentz and Kelce healthy all of that year. But in the end the team seemed to blame Wentz. With time by a good Oline and scrub WRs we seen Wentz set a passing yards record for a season. Now the team with no healthy Oline nor WRs wants to give all the blame to Wentz which was not fair. Any decent QB would want out. But Colts were no better. There Oline in 2021 ranked 3rd last in pass protection. The commanders were just as bad ranking bottom in pass protection as well. The only reason Wentz backup did better in games is because he scrambled to make plays happen but coaches were trying to stop Wentz from doing that since he was injured a lot early in his career.
Came here to post this too.
The way they treated Doug was terrible, just terrible.
Yeah they should have never got rid of Doug. I remember how confused I was when they got rid of him
That always bothered me. We did bounce back and almost win another Superbowl though last year was awful
It ain't embarrassing for you to show emotions, Trust me that game also made me feel the same after seeing what rookie Wentz did.
I'm not a NDSU, Eagles, Colts, Redskins, or Wentz fan. I still think the man still got what it takes to be a starter for some teams. He's more mature and came back from the dead. KC made a great decision in signing him.
Lol thanks! And thanks for taking the time to watch!!!
Carson didn’t have the mental fortitude to be an NFL QB and he couldn’t put his ego aside. Both Nick Foles and then Jalen Hurts replaced him and both went to the Super Bowl with the Eagles.
When they started Hurts his rookie year, it was obvious to even casual fans like myself that Hurts has the mental discipline to handle the role. He always seem laser focused, as well as always having an even keel with his emotions. I was not shocked that he was in a super bowl a couple years later. I wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles got back this year due to Hurts.
He found the right agent tho
The Carson Wentz and Ben Simmons situations should vindicate Philly fans of many accusations they have endured. To anyone who objects and wants to bring up the Santa thing, your daddy wasn’t even alive when that happened.
The santa thing is dumb anyhow because it was a fcking drunk fan they carted out there 😂 I could see if history was fans snowballing a "working santa," but it was some drunk in a suit
Comparing Wentz to Simmons is pretty tough. There are a LOT of QB's that would have a tough time returning from an ACL after their backup had just won a SB with THEIR team. Let's remember that before that injury, Wentz was at an MVP level and was BELOVED in Philly. Simmons was never close to that. He was an all-star and a good player but they're really different.
Im not making any value judgements but Philly is a rough town (spent 6 months there and got mugged at gunpoint twice, I grew up in LA, never happened there) and rough on it's sports stars. Definitely the type of people to boo Santa. That's not just a narrative.
Also... "Working Santa?" (You were about to say "real Santa" weren't you?) Lol. What's a working Santa? How are they distinguished from drunks in suits? Seems to me most Santas are drunks in suits. Please introduce me to the respectable professional Santas who put so much effort into their craft.
And my daddy was born in 1935...
Carson is a textbook illustration of the old adage that an unbounded strength is a weakness. Smart, but didn't know when (or how) to listen, and tried to play hero ball when he needed to check down and move to the next play. He is also outspoken about his faith in a way that offputs his team mates.
Nothing more valuable than Faith. Nothing
@@spikenomoon Not questioning his faith or even if he is a good guy or not - by all accounts he was and is. However, the way he manifested it was off-putting to many of his teammates and ownership. Why do you think Inday canned him? Having faith doesn't require one to be offensive about it.
@ Faith outs many off. It creates Hate and division. It offends people because it cuts their soul and flesh.
All these football players go on about their faith. It's all sky pointing and "I want to thank God." Plus its majority black and black Americans are on average more overtly Christian.
“ Anonymous players report on Wentz For lack of responsibility” the irony.
I think 95% of the time the whole "anonymous player or source" is all bs just made up by the sports media to stir the pot. People act like news isn't about actual news anymore and just drama and bs.

Yeah that made it seem like he was a bum & they was carrying him
The shrine was to give Foles confidence as nobody believed in him since he didnt play well before Vikings game.
The statue was a gift from Bud Light.
But I agree, mentally I wouldn't be able to overcome the scenario Wentz had to go through. He did the heavy lifting and Foles had all the credit. It took both of them to win that year.

Dude had a serious Jeff George vibe. I remember a quote from one of George's O linemen who said he never got Jeff sacked on purpose, but when he did get beaten and gave up a sack, it didn't bother him nearly as much as it did when he was blocking for QBs he didn't despise.

Go birds 🦅
Wentz grew up in Bismarck, North Dakota, played for NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota.
His entire life he was the big fish in a little pond and was treated accordingly. Making it to the NFL makes him an elite athlete, but think of the competition he faced growing up in North Dakota. How easy it was for him to dominate through sheer talent because he really had very few peers. How much adversity did he ever face competing against kids in high school who would be mediocre DII players? At NDSU he played against teams that were lucky to have a single NFL draft pick on their rosters.
Growing up with that obviously gave him an inflated sense of entitlement. Because he never developed a sense of humility, because he could always win games all by himself, it is no wonder he kept playing hero ball in the NFL.
He has the talent but not the right emotion...humility.
couldn't agree more
Philly is a tough town--if you're not playing hard, or are egotistical, the fans will let you know exactly how they feel about you. Wentz could have turned it around like Alec Bohm, but he didn't.
@@emptyhand777 North Dakota is a bubble in itself. Where normal society corrections don't happen. The classism and pretentiousness that happen there should be studied. Some of the people in and from there are the best you'll ever meet. Problem is there are 100s of pple like Wentz in every place up there...and they all have parents
Wentz always had the extremely arrogant and cocky as Hell NDSU Bison attitude and he never learned to grow up and get past that point.

Carson was so talented. He was as big Cam Newton and threw 40+ yd bombs, but he was never the same after tearing his ACL. When he first started he carried our team, then he sandbagged us after our receivers kept getting hurt and we were playing with practice squad heros. Sad to see him fall from grace
What are you talking about zack ertz Dallas goeddart Jason kelce lane Johnson miles sanders none of those guys are practice squad
The eagles were 12-1 with 5 playoff wins without Carson wentz from 20-17-2018 at no point did he ever carry them
@@AlexRosner-v8t injuries bro. yeah Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson were healthy but they’re legends, and they don’t play receiver. you can listen to kelce talk about how good Carson was during his interviews btw
@@AlexRosner-v8t and the eagles were 12-1 WITH Carson, not without. he carried
Another great analysis - also goes to show that stats are often overblown - take his one year in Indy. 27-7 TD-INT and at times it looked like Wentz had never seen the game played before.
Was at the game they played the Titans in Indy and told some colts fans behind me Wentz would mess up game tied almost in their end zone,next play he tries to throw it with his left hand after being pressured for a pick 6… couldn’t make this up 😂
@bennybats614 was that Jacksonville?
You have some great content. Love that you use good footage and how you structure your videos.
As a Philly local and Eagles fan, thiis is when I knew we had made a mistake. I think
It was 2018, and there was a gun violence epidemic in Philly. So a group of athletes from all four sports went down to address a group of high school students about gun safety. Great. Good. Fine.
Wentz headed back to the stadium and a reporter tagged along. Now, I don’t know if any other cities had a 4:30 PM news, but Philly did.
So they decide to do a live interviiew - and the first question was an utter softball (something like “How was your off-season?”
Remember, this is the afternoon of the day with the anti-gun violence workshop.
Now, Carson could give any answer he wanted to this reporter. What does he go with? How much he loves guns and hunting. Followed by him pulling out a catalogue to show the reporter all the shotguns he bought his offensive linemen at the end of the season. Fine. Whatever. But then he opens up his locker to show this reporter the two shotguns he had in there that he was “working on.” I
I don’t care that he likes guns, but read the freakiN room, buddy. Perhaps don’t valorize guns during a gun violence epidemic. He didn’t seem to care about anything that didn’t directly affect him, and seemed not to have much concern for the needs of anyone other than him. You can’t lead a team
If you only care about yourself.
So out of his entire career, him liking firearms and talking about the good side of firearms made you mad? 😂 welcome to America bud. 2nd amendment is a lovely thing. Unfortunately highly protected politicians think everyday citizens shouldn’t have them so they can keep control(remember why we have the 2nd amendment). Laws only stop law abiding citizens not criminals who don’t give a fuck about the laws. More lives are saved by firearms than taken. You want less gun violence? Let citizens have the option to protect themselves. Less people will be willing to use firearms to harm others if they know there’s a good chance rounds will be returned. All that being said, I do believe training should be required.
@ That’s not the point at all. While he was here, over and over again I watched him throw into tight windows when there were guys wide open. Well, he’d just come from this very somber ceremony remembering dead children and talking about gun violence. A reporter asked him a question that left the field wide open - he clhiae the most contested subject to discuss. He took an easy question and made it unnecessarily difficult, while also showing an utter lack of empathy. You know how announcers talk about situational awareness? That was Wentz’s weakness, both professionally and interpersonally.
Let me ask you this: If your buddy just lost their job, and they ask what’s new with you, does that seem to be the best time to bring up your promotion, even if you are really excited about it? It’s not the topic - it’s the insensitivity.
Maybe it was a conscious decision in attempt to set right people like you who equate responsible gun ownership and self defense with gang violence and the mentally ill. Although I'll admit it was misguided. You're never going to get leftists to believe that everyone has the right to protect themselves and their families. That's for Democrat politicians and people rich enough to afford personal security.
Funny every time I see a liberal anti gun politician go to a gun control rally they have armed security with them. Its like read the room...
Gtfoh.
Mahomes gets hurt, Wentz wins super bowl with Chiefs? Circle of life?
Please no. If anything they’ll lose because his negative aura is on the roster
yeah but… Andy Reid and the entire Chiefs team culture won’t succumb to the negativism of one player. Probably, right?
He was firing lasers early today.
How?? Carson got hurt and brady got the mvp by proxy and LOST the super bowl lmao

He was like off brand Mahomes before Mahomes. And I say that as a compliment lol
In 5 seasons Carson Wentz has 0 playoff wins 52 fumbles. He is 7-20 vs teams over 500. He has no heart no desire to win. His teammates hate him. He makes everyone around him worse. He started 5-6 in 4 of his first 5 seasons. Eagles are 24-6 in their last 30 games with Foles

As an Eagles fan I love Wentz for how he got thing started in 2017. Foles was able to pivot. I have often wondered if there were things going on in Carson's personal life, dating/engagement/babies that shifted his focus as well and caused his on field downfall and inconsistency.
As a huge Eagles fan and resident in Philly I have to say you are very knowledgeable. You did a amazing job summing up the wentz era in Philly and his career afterwards. You were right on the money
He never played the same after that intentional head shot which caused a concussion. That can alter spatial perception and accuracy.
I feel like we don't talk about that hit enough. I feel like that's what truly ended his time as a starting QB in the league
Wrong he went 5-6 in 2018 foles took over sabe team and made a playoff run
Rofl at that!Intentional.😂
Dirty hit for sure. Can’t believe it wasn’t even flagged
I remember thinking Wentz was going to be a problem for the Giants for a long time. The same game he injured his knee and everything changed
Surprisingly this guy still has a job as a backup
😅
He was really good injury destroyed his game.
@@emilionarvaez1415 Not true his inability to adapt to not playing hero ball once his team got healthy was his actual downfall...He had that run of carrying the Eagles when they had major injuries on the O then once those guys came back Carson couldn't stop playing aggressive he was scrambling alot and forcing the ball trying to make big home run plays instead of just moving the chains

He probably could start for Arizona
A couple things come to mind. Wentz was on pace to throw 40 TD's when he got hurt, he would have easily won the MVP. Also when Foles was drafted he was doing great too with record setting games, he was supposed to win a Superbowl his first stint with the Eagles. It was ironic he came back and won it as the backup. Wentz definitely had a bad attitude, if your teammates hate you you better take a look in the mirror.
In Philly whenever he talked you could tell to him the rest of the team were his servants. He also only cared about religion and hunting. They were the only two thoughts in his head.
Religion and hunting...boy, what a great combination...does Jesus go hunting with him?
Nick Foles is one of two Super Bowl MVPs from Westlake HS in Austin Texas!
My Mom was such a huge Nick Foles fan. After she moved to Tucson, she became a huge Wildcats fan, and she was thrilled with Foles Superbowl. Lost her recently, but still think kindly of the joy she got from that.
Jadeveon Clowney's helmet destroyed Carson Wentz's career.
Nah webtz career was over the second it started terrible character guy
Nah Wentz was overrated coming out college, had a great '17 season with the best roster in football, otherwise, he was and is just an average to below avg qb
Clooney speared Foles in the Texans game in 2018 during the Eagles 4th quarter comeback. Foles got up, led the Eagles to second of 4 straight wins (Rams, Texans, Washington, Chicago). If Brandon Brooks doesn't get hurt, they probably beat NO as well. Foles just led better and made better decisions.
THANK YOU AND WASNT FLAGGED
Turns out it was actually blaming the downfall of his career on everyone not named Carson Wentz
When the media has a narrative on you, it's tedious to contextualize everything. Carson is still my favorite player (Eagles fan for 22 years), because without him, Foles would never have the chance to play in SB. It took both of them to win that year.
The people who want to discredit Wentz as a significant contributor are dishonest. In that case Marc-Andre Fleury in NHL should give back 2 of his 3 rings since he didnt play in Stanley Cup final, Murray was the goalie for both wins. Yet he's considered a 3 time Stanley Cup winner. It's a team game! Now if Wentz was like Nate Sudfeld and didnt play basically, it would be a different story. But Wentz was arguably the best player in the NFL that year and the main reason they had BYE and homefield advantage. Now that alone doesnt guarantee a SB but what it does do, is put them in best position to win SB.
Wentz never really had NFL playoff experience, and Foles never finished a full season in his career. Foles also went 10 quarters without a TD that SB year, had worst QBR in NFL then arguably played best back to back playoff games ever. Pats defense got shredded with Foles who was a stationary QB. Wentz was a dual threat that year, before his injury he was HIM.
I think the pressure of trying to win SB all on his own after that, and the Clowney dirty hit put too much pressure and he didn't have the mental fortitude to overcome it. Whatever one thinks of his personality, fans need to be grateful for his contributions to the SB year as he was the catalyst that put them in the best position to win! The shrine for Foles was also there because everyone knew that Foles needed more confidence especially the way reg season ended, and his Falcons game was awful. Foles was never really consistent (Apart from 2013 when he had Prime Djack and prime Shady). He needed all the help he could and the shrine made him believe that his teammates believed in him. I think that helped his confidence. I love Foles and I am grateful for both Wentz and Foles that year. Without one of them, we dont win. I still believe pre-torn ACL he would have shredded Pats defense, but we will never know. What we do know is that we won Superbowl with both of their contributions.
There's a reason why Eagles became underdogs after Wentz went down.
In 2017 Wentz had:
#1 QBR in NFL
#3 EPA
#1 PPG with him at helm
#1 3rd/4th down conversion
#1 tight window throw
23-0 in RZ (Currently in 2024 has one of the best RZ TD/INT ratio in NFL history 110 TD 6 INT).
33 TDs in 13 games
11-2 record
Pro Bowl
All pro
Won 2017 NFL POTY (Bert Bell) award as not only the best QB but the best player.
I wrote an article with contextualized advanced analytics during his Eagles tenure: medium.com/@justintime25/the-case-for-carson-d339e2614c04
One for Colts in 2021: medium.com/@justintime25/carson-the-colt-1d06459fb8e2
Crazy is (I love Hurts btw) Carson still holds the Eagles passing records and his best receivers were Jeffery and Agholor.
Most TD passes (2017)
Most yards (2019)
Best comp% (2018)
Scored a TD pass in all 16 games in 2019 (1st Eagles QB to ever do it and 3rd QB in history to ever do it).
Whilst Hurts has had the most stacked team of any Eagles QB. All Pro receivers etc.
Wentz really just had 2 bad seasons since 2016. His last year with Eagles in 2020 (Where team was also decimated with injuries/lack of talent) and in 2022 with Washington.
He had a great game with Rams vs 49ers (3 TDs, converted 2 4th downs) both teams didnt play whole roster and some top players for both teams played like half the game.
But mentally had he folded, his career would be over. He played like his career was on the line and it was.
They needed to win so that Stafford could play against his former team the Lions.
Chiefs also got Wentz to do QB sneaks because they dont want to risk Mahomes getting hurt again doing it.
Wentz since 2016 has had the most successful rate in QB sneaks until the Eagles "Tush push" came along.
I really want KC to reach SB and Carson to have a QB sneak TD! I think it will be very emotional for him and a good comeback/feel good story.
One thing we can never question about Carson, is that he put everything on the line body wise. He plays hard, one of the toughest players physically. I think anyone's mental game (Apart from Brady, Mahomes and few others) would have trouble overcoming the injuries he's had, pressure in Philly, seeing another QB win the SB while you did the heavy lifting to get them there. I know I wouldn't be able to.
I was nodding my head in agreement until the end. Part of being a professional player is that you need the mental fortitude for it to not bother you. If it does, you aren't one of the best.
Thus, if it did. Wentz is an average pro QB that had the same flash in the pan string of games, much like Foles.
@@reubensandwich9249 This is why he's not one of the best (like HOF players). Simply that he was underrated and over-hated by media/fans. He has his flaws and that Clowney hit where he couldn't recognize his wife made him panic when pocket collapses.
Even after his torn ACL, he still played well in 2018 and 2019. 2021 was a good bounce back from 2020. 2022 was bad. Rams game he played well considering he had one game to save his career which is prob why he signed for slightly more $ with the Chiefs.
Advanced analytics show he's better than what people make him out to be. But he'll never be an all time great. (Pre-torn ACL who knows, but that is long gone).
Overall Wentz is better than Foles but I can see your point.
Yup exactly. I don't get the hate on Wentz. He was sabotaged his career after he helped win the Super Bowl. Howie drafted junk for receivers, and then drafted a QB instead of more help. Then Irsay was always high and didn't give him the help. I don't need to say more about Snyder.
Despite it all, he remained positive and strong. Only reason he's still here is how mentally strong he is.
Lot of Foles slander on there
Really well done! A great recap of his career and all that went wrong with it. Keep up the awesome work!
Imagine the feeling of getting benched for a rookie 2nd rounder QB that has no experience playing in the NFL as much as you are and then got traded in the offseason and has been playing for 3 different teams
I honestly think that if Wentz stayed healthy in 2017, he’d probably still be a star QB but the Eagles wouldn’t have beaten the Patriots.
This is such an interesting hypothetical. I wonder what the ripple effect would have been on the rest of the league
Foles literally had 90 yard game winning drive vs best defense in nfl against the bears and was a drop away from beating the saints
@@SheGotSportsthen the patriots probably would've had 7 super bowls easily.
And had Foles started the first 13 games of the season they wouldn’t have been the #1 Seed

My first video watching of yours, I love how knowledgeable you are of the game, and you are absolutely adorable!!
Wentz was so good in the 2017 season, one can only wonder how the injury affected him. Some players who are brighter than most get shellacked by the press and lesser players. If they get hurt there's no sympathy.
Like Ted Williams? He was bright as hell and a gdamn combat fighter pilot and he still took mad sht from reporters and fans. He still managed to be great.
Carson Wentz was definitely flawed with leadership, but he received too much blame for the Eagles 2020 season.
His receiving core was as follows:
1. Jalen Reagor (draft bust)
2. JJ Arcega-Whiteside (draft bust)
3. Quez Watkins (who Philly now understands is terrible lol)
4. John Hightower (99% of people probably don’t remember him)
5. Travis Fulgham (an Aaron Rodgers castaway)
6. Greg Ward (a college QB)
And I didn’t even mention how bad the o-line was.
People…..not a single one of these players are on the Eagles in 2024, who are making a championship run.
To make matters worse, I think only Quez Watkins has a job right now. Still, he’s buried on Pittsburgh’s depth chart.
Love to story’s! Would love if you could do Braxton millers story!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
I thought he would be a beast in the slot. But he never stayed healthy
Thanks so much for watching! I could look into a miller story, def an interesting story!!
The real question is, after signing $128 million contract with $107 guaranteed, does he really care? 😂
exactly would anyone
Sure. Financial independence is great. Winning is also great. Being a hero to fans is great. Having a legacy and being remembered... Great.
This line of thinking is so reductive. You can want riches AND success. And plenty of athletes have achieved all of the above.
Just finished watching this. I’d never seen one of yours before. Really impressive Lauren! I’m now a subscriber.
That playoff game vs. the Vikings was one of my favorite games. The Vikings fans were fully expecting to blow the Eagles out. They came into town, talked a lot of smack, and dressed up Rocky in their gear. And then their team got embarrassed. Then they cried for a solid year about how mean Eagles fans were. Some of them said the Eagles should have to forfeit because the Eagles fans are mean.
You are dumb. Vikings fans never think we are going to blow out anybody. Literally never, but especially in the playoffs
Gee! With Lauren feeling that bummed about the Giants loss to the Eagles, if she had been around in the 1970s, two aspects:
1. Giants tickets were easy to get.
2. Their seasons were so abysmal, she may have been tempted to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
Even though I am a Chiefs fan, back in the early 70's I enjoyed watching Norm Snead play at QB for the "G" Men.
I've been a Seahawks fan since 79. I KNOW MISERY!!! Playing for an Irsay is Misery. Sons not a Bad a Daddy, but that ain't saying much. The Irsays are Bitter Drunks who take it out on Their Teams.

As a diehard Eagles fan I can say Carson Wentz it's one of the worst QB's I've seen in a long time. I haven't seen a player place so poorly since 1999 when Donovan Mcnabb was drafted. I'm talking about after he got hit by Jadeveon Clowney. That was a dirty hit and that truly ended his career he hasn't been the same ever since and unfortunately his career ended way to soon.
Same here, he was brutal making us lose so many games. He couldn't even play like a good high school QB....

Hey congratulations on all your video success. I remember when you were doing giants fan reactions. All that pain has finally paid off
He has real social issues. He grew up in rural North Dakota and then went to college in rural North Dakota. So he saw NO diversity for the first 20 years of his life. Then he ends up in the NFL (dominated by African Americans) huge culture shock. On top of that, he ends up in Philly (A huge city with almost 50% African American pop). I am not saying he is a racist. I doubt that, but he was really uncomfortable around black people and that's not good in this league. This was an issue on the team as he only had a relationship with several white players and that's about it. Zach Ertz set the all time signal season reception record because he tossed the ball to him even in coverage (don't get me wrong Zach was a beast). But that became a problem to the rest of the team. He would change plays to throw to Zach. That's not good. The same thing happened when he went to Indy. He did not listen to the coaches and was asked to leave less than a year later. Nick came in and spread the ball around exposing weaknesses all over the defenses (just ask the Vikes and Patriots), If not for a dropped pass to Alshon the next year we would have been in the Superbowl in back to backs. That's a real teammate.
Ohh shush with your silly nonsense .
Also blacks don't dominate football . That is such a nonsensical myth. A lot of the best players in football are white.

I just think Wentz's mind got blown when he got injured and had to watch Nick Foles become a league legend in his stead. Imagine having to come to work every day seeing that dumba** Nick Foles statue in front of the stadium. He put too much pressure on himself.
Foles getting a statue is nasty work

I'll give you insight because I know where it is. It's at the north entrance to the stadium. For him to see it every day, he'd have to go to turn the other direction on Broad (Novacare complex is on west side, stadium on east), park and walk through closed parking lots, and open a locked gate because you can't see it.
On game day, players enter through the south. So he'd have to enter the concourse where the fans mingle.
And to further illistrate how foolish your comment is. Pederson still has never seen it.
Facts🎉🎉🎉🎉
Giving credibility to anonymous sources is irresponsible as it isn’t confirmed whether such statements were made from any player. For all you know it could be the same source who leaked the DeSean Jackson gang affiliation rumors. Carson’s receivers were weak because to Howie Roseman made them that way. Carson broke an NFL record with a terrible receiving core and instead of rewarding him that clown decided to forgo on CeeDee Lamb as trading the second pick to move up meant he couldn’t draft Hurts. He then decided it was a good idea to go on national television and likening drafting Hurts to a time where he decided against drafting Russell Wilson. That distasteful and disrespectful act from a GM would alarm ANY QB especially given that the QB mentioned played for
team who hit your starting QB with a cheap shot. Yet Wentz never said ANY thing foul about him even though he wouldn’t have been lying in the slightest. You don’t draft a backup and liken him to Russell Wilson PUBLICLY because you don’t draft a Russell Wilson to back up anybody. That move was a head scratcher for everyone that year. You don’t draft a back up that high with veterans in the FA pool who could AT LEAST serve as a mentor. In week 17 vs the Raiders, Carson left the field with the LEAD before the last ranking 4th Q Colts defense let Derek Carr carve them up with a kick to end regulation. I had season tickets and watched QB after QB take the lead with next to triple zeros on regulation. The Colts have notoriously had issues in Jacksonville. The Colts being one game away in a weird 17 week COVID season ABSENT training camp was very good. Carson Wentz had a passer rating of 94.6 with 3,563 yards, 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 17 games in Indy. (not mentioned) Jim Irsay didn’t like him and unless he went 13-3 nothing was keeping him around. The talk about leadership in Indy is absolute bullshit. Leonard, Taylor, Kelly, and Pittman were all upset he was leaving. Frank wanted him and the GM and owner didn’t it’s as plain as that. As someone who personally knows Carson and has talked about everything from Philly to Indy to his foundation to 94WIP dude is a class act. What people don’t like about him is that his confidence doesn’t come from what people think about him so he doesn’t go out of his way to MAKE people like him. You either get him or you don’t and people who are people pleasers mistake that for arrogance. He’s met my family and we haven’t met a cooler, down to earth and self aware athlete.
Yessir totally agree
At Indy you didn't know if you'd get hero Wentz or hero-ball Wentz. One drive, instead of just throwing it away he'll try to left hand throw the ball and a defensive lineman gets a pick 6. Next series he's prime Wentz and they score a TD.
The Eagles rushed Wentz back too soon. Let’s face it
Cuz Foles was out there stinkin up the joint, which worsens the argument that they shoulda kept him instead of Wentz after the Super Bowl
What are you talking about Nick foles threw for 350 yards week 2 of the season when webtz Mae back doofus
@@TreWimsicalHuh? They were 1-1 to start the season. How was Foles "stinkin" ANYTHING up?
I forgot about the "double doink." Excellent video, SGS. Subbed.

Nothing more cowardly than going to the media anonymously.
One of the biggest mistakes was his improper treatment of Jalen Hurts with whom he was suppose to mentor but was envious of but players watch and regretted
I subscribed to your channel you do an amazing job on these videos 💯🔥👏
I've seen a few of these, "What happened to carson" videos and this is by the far the best one. Both is substance and form and providing your own insights and commentary throughout. I have another theory, even more simple which you didn't touch on. (Life long Eagle fan by the way, and appreciate you giving props when Elliot beat your team. Respect! ;). For me, it was all in Carson's head: Yes, he was legit injured on the run to the SB, but I couldn't imagine seeing a statue of my back up. From that moment where the city had annoited Foles and Doug to immortal status, it was over. The merciful thing for the Eagles and Carson to do was to trade him immediately. Because from a mental point of view, there is no way to live in Foles shadow, let alone his statue, and while Foles is still there! It was too much for anyone, let alone Carson who then just couldn't handle it. His other injuries, caused by his style of play, etc contributed, but my advice would have been: Leave Philly, never come back, and do your best somewhere else. Anyhow: great video, look forward to watching more!
