Since leaving Philadelphia, Carson Wentz’s on-field play has seen a decline, with many people around the NFL believing Washington is the quarterback's last chance to be an NFL starter.
And well for people like Colts owner Jim Irsay, Wentz's dip in performance was taken a bit more personally, Irsay has been more than a little critical of Wentz, who lasted just one season in Indianapolis. Irsay called trading for the quarterback “a mistake” at March’s owners' meetings and recently tossed shade on Wentz without even saying his name.
Irsay told reporters, “We went through the season with some inconsistency at quarterback that led to massive problems.”
This isn't the first time someone mentioned Wentz’s inconsistencies. Recently, a local D.C. TV reporter asked Wentz some tough and direct questions — something Commanders president Jason Wright called “unprofessional.”
On the flip side, the 63-year-old owner was excited about his new quarterback, Matt Ryan, who was brought in after the Colts traded Wentz to Washington.
“We’re set up for excellence, now we just have to do it. And Matt Ryan has that same feeling in his heart.”
The Commanders play at Indianapolis on Oct. 30, so Wentz will have a chance to prove Irsay wrong.
