It really was like watching Linsanity all over again via NFL but even crazier.. anyways after the injury his bawls dried up QUICKLY AF and Big Dizzy Nizzy came thru and saved the ship. Wentz came all over the place and wentz with a bang bus minus the creampies and seminal lies 😅

If nething deshaun buttfinger watson was looked at to beCUM the next great 1 and fasttt they called him the MJ of NFL then lamar came all over the league bukakke style and then he did the weird massage stuff and forced anal etc, so Michael Jordan himself put out a clause basically passed his OWN LAW making it illegal for any media or tv or radio to call watson anything relating to MJ whether by name or likeness or even hinting at it...nope they made it so if anyone mentions Mike and Deshaun in the same sentence then that person or persons would be terminated immediately with no pension or severance effective SEMENELY.

[@TheBigShotJonesy]

Wentz suffered from the Ronda Rousey effect. Spent his whole life at top, when he finally fell he never recovered (mentally).

[@thomaspatrickparker6648]

I don't think its quite the same... Wentz suffered a career ending injury that he managed to come back from but was never the same. Obviously there is a mental load that comes with that type of situation that could easily break any normal person. Ronda Rousey got famous from beating up soccer moms, her best wins were Miesha Tate twice and you can argue Cat Zingano. Other than that her fight record is really padded and as soon as she fought actual elite fighters like Holm and Nunes she lost and had a mental breakdown. There was like a span of multiple years where she would do nothing but sit on twitch and play video games in bed. Carson Wentz never crashed out that badly, imo he should retire and enjoy life with his kids.

[@hatuletoh]

Carson Wentz proves something I've thought for a while now, that part of a an nfl qb's job and development is to learn to stay healthy. That means spiking the ball, taking embarrassing sacks, running out of bounds or sliding, and in general doing things that might make you look "weak." But it's about putting aside the ego and desire to look cool, understanding that pro ball is different than college ball not playing hero, and living to fight another day. Qbs on both sides of the equation show this is true: besides Wentz, there's RG3, Cam Newton, Trey Lance, and hopefully not but maybe Tua Tagovailoa--guys who didn't learn the skill and had abbreviated careers. On the other side are the guys who did, most famously Brady, but also Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, and both Mannings (and I'd argue Eli was better at it than Peyton, at least early in their careers). It's not sexy, but it's professional, it's grown up, and it's necessary if you want to have a proper nfl career.

[@scottwerner279]

That makes Big Ben a weird outlier

[@joelrogers8530]

​@@scottwerner279 Not really. Big Ben had his share of injury worries, and they added up over the course of his career. Sure, he played a long time, but his overall level of play grew worse and worse each season. By the end of it, watching Big Ben play was like watching Mohammed Ali come out of retirement for an exhibition match while suffering from cumulative CTE and Parkinson's disease. It was sad, like watching a bus full of school children with no brakes slowly roll down a mountain pass until it eventually careened off a cliff.

*Carson Was Always Injury Prone Which Is Why I Was Pissed The Eagles Went Out Of Their Way To Draft Him Because I Knew He Couldn't Last In The NFL With His Fragile Body*

[@robertstaples3256]

I like your argument. Those men you mentioned (Brady, Mannings, Brees) were the epidome of pocket passers. They didn't dance around a lot like ballerinas or make explosive runs when the pocket collapsed, maybe rolled out but that was about it. Mostly, they were highly intelligent football players who knew how to direct their offense to make big plays. It was not an uncommon sight to see them bark a half dozen signals and adjust blocking or routes once they analyzed the situation and the defense's posture. Not every play was a masterpiece of course but they consistently did well or excellent, and all of them won a Superbowl at some point. It wasn't flashy, but it was smart football. I'm an Eagles fan, so Hurts, for example, has been trying to do both recently, playing as both a pocket passer and be a rushing threat. It's had success last season, but it's also incredibly risky (as with Wentz. I remember being speechless when I watched his injury live). One single wrong move, and he could become another Carson Wentz. I also notice he doesn't seem to be in control of the offense a lot. They line up and just snap the ball. Almost never changing the play or adjusting blocks. Perhaps that's common for rushing QBs because the staff just assume if the play goes sideways, he can just rush out of danger.

[@ErikCB912]

I honestly thought the Wentz/Foles situation was going to be another Simms/Hostetler situation. When Parcells retired after winning the Super Bowl in 1990 Ray Handley came in and named Hostetler the starting QB instead of Simms. I gave the Eagles credit at the time for not giving up on Wentz like the Giants did with Simms, but it ultimately didn’t work. Granted I still don’t think going with Foles would have been the answer either. He’s never played a full season and in 2018 they begged Wentz to play as soon as he was ready because Foles wasn’t cutting it early in the season.

Foles comes in and beats the Rams (who i believe were 10-3 at the time), and then the Texans the next week (who were 10-4). He put up an absolutely insane statline in the game against Houston too, 400+ passing yards and a clutch game winning drive. I think that’s when things got bad in the foles v wentz discussion. Sure in 2017 wentz had them 11-2 and Foles just sorta walked into the 1 seed, but in 2018, Foles got them TO the playoffs.

Carson Wentz is not playing football this season. He didn't have a Josh Gordon incident (violation of substance abuse policy). He didn't get arrested for murder or some other felony which = NFL down fall. Stop being so silly and dramatic. Content creators will have to find something better to discuss.

Yep, the NFL is a meat grinder, even with the efforts it's made to make the game less dangerous. At least Wentz should have enough money to last for generations.

[@generalb4005]

As a diehard Eagles fan I was waiting for Wentz to reach out to former NFL QBs for guidance specifically Kurt Warner, Payton Manning etc. Quarterbacks that made their careers by getting the ball out quickly due to their elite pre snap defense recognition. Unfortunately that never happened. Carson always decided to stick with trainers that he knew that would not hold him accountable. It’s very unfortunate because even to this day I still believe he has talent but he has to work with someone that’s going to hold him accountable. FYI I put Cam Newton in this same category as Wentz. Both quarterbacks unfortunately hold unto the football for too long.

[@johnchedsey1306]

Wentz's issues are primarily between his ears. It's pretty apparent he became a head case at some point. Maybe the Clowney hit to the noggin did more damage than we realized. Wentz was actually really impressive down the stretch in 2019, since that Eagles offense was lacking any playmakers...yet they somehow got hot and got into the playoffs with Wentz playing great. But clearly it's been bad ever since. His competitive ego must still have him wanting to be a starter, but his only path to stay in the NFL is to be a backup and seize a moment if it ever comes up. Of course, he has plenty of money (presumably) so maybe he'll just want to disappear and go fishing or something the rest of his life.

[@LoFoSho]

It was that hit. He did an Antonio Brown on us

[@pointyheadYT]

Maybe if he went legs first when making runs, like all the other QB's, he'd get injured less? Just my two cents, but If you play dangerously, you'll obviously get appropriately punished. He always did those boneheaded head-first dives to gain yards, when he had no reason to. He was as reckless as they come.

Wentz has pretty much become the Brandon Roy of the NFL. Both guys were poised to become elite, only for injuries to get in their way and flame them out.

[@ek9589]

Wentz’s psyche destroyed him more than injuries

[@Ballinbmac]

Terrible comparison. Brandon Roy was a 3 time all star before his knees began to give him Trouble. Wentz is literally the football version of bill Walton. They both have red hair everything

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

@@Ballinbmac that’s generous to Carson and feels off in general. Walton missed his first two years with injuries, got healthy, was 2x all NBA, 1 time league MVP and 1x finals MVP before his legs gave out again nearly for good. He accomplished more with more dominance at his brief peak and then altered his game to a bench role winning several more titles and sixth man awards. If we’re sticking to Trail Blazers Sam Bowie might be a better fit.

[@Ocean5ix]

Wentz' career was a mix of bad luck with injuries, bad management and some myths (or facts) about him that we'll only know when all the players get old and start spilling the beans. Both he and the Eagles were one of the most injured teams from 2017 to 2020, so even when Wentz was playing, the rest of the team was ravaged by injuries, hence why Josh McCown's WR1 was Greg Ward, because he was also Wentz' WR1 for most of that season and he still managed to throw for 4000 yards, the only QB in Eagles history. The management sucked from 2018 to 2020. Howie Roseman was way over his head, overthinking the draft and trying to get the unpopular talent that would shock the world, instead he got some of the biggest busts of this last decade. Wentz never had a WR even close to the talent of Devonta Smith, let alone having Smith and AJ Brown. I'm not saying I would want him back though, just that the only season he had a team around him (that wasn't even close to how good the current roster is), he almost won an MVP. And the "myths" are all the shady stuff surrounding his leadership. The media was constantly trying to undermine him by leaking "anonymous letters" saying he was a bad teammate, then Jim Irsay did what he did to him. What I find interesting is that his teammates always went out of their way to say they liked him, every single one of his instagram pics has guys he played with saying good things to and about him. So yea, we'll never know the truth. One thing I can say is that "leadership" is something we fans can't see, it's something we have to trust the media and insiders. I say this because if you watch Wentz mic'd up he always seemed to be a great leader, motivating his teammates, celebrating but the media always said otherwise. With Hurts he says "I had a purpose before anyone had an opinion" and everybody does back flips screaming how he's a fantastic leader. I don't see it, but I BELIEVE it because it's what the media and his teammates says. Everything points towards Hurts being a fantastic leader and teammate, while with Wentz most things point towards him being a bad leader.

Nick Foles credits Wentz for bringing him back to God that season. Wentz was a huge part of making that team what it was in the locker room. I'm not really sure what happened after they got their ring tho..

[@easyp3930]

I used to live down the street from Carson in Fargo. Only time you saw him was on his moped to and from class. Constant party’s around him and he stayed so focused. Breaks my heart he didn’t pan out

[@jharp08]

One thing no one mentioned is that he wasn't all that great in the pocket. Most of his production was based on play action or scramble broken plays. He was never the greatest decision maker and once those injuries settled in his ability to play in the pocket was crucial and never really became great. I do believe he still capable of playing average ball but I think his personality plays a big part in that as well

[@FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes. And average isnt enough in the NFL. Except for coaches unable to judge QB talent. Average QBs make careers out of it. But thats another long long story.

[@connorchurch3518]

He had a lot of bad injuries. This didn't go well with a stubborn streak that kept him from adapting to his new physical reality.

[@ctruth6185]

Care to list all of the "bad injuries" Carson Wentz had? I dare you. List how many seasons he missed with all the "bad injuries."

[@bass518man]

Great vid. Thorough retelling. The only part I disagree with is all the remarks about Carson's teammates not supporting him. While there were a bunch of "anonymous sources" being quoted in articles about him, most of the locker room, including leaders of the team, consistently went out of their way to adamantly deny the reports and really vouch for him. And he's still great friends with all of the top leaders of the team to this day (Kelce, Lane, Cox). He had a lot of support. Just obviously not everyone in the org.

[@goldenstatewarriors9418]

Imagine telling someone in the middle of the 2017 season that Nick Foles would have a better career than Carson Wentz.

[@suscon1140]

If Wentz still had the desire and drive to play, I cannot imagine he is done. He might have to spend a year or two in the CFL or XFL, but it could really benefit him and help him get back to at least close to what he was.

[@jablank3180]

Great video Tim Pool! I love that you’re covering sports too!

[@jordanburden7018]

I think another issue with his career was the teams injuries. From 2017 to 2020 the Eagles had injuries at every single position group and in 2020 it finally hit the O-Line cause any QB back there to be a shell of themself.

[@FoxxyBrown1111]

Every team is hit by injuries. But how about that: The talent around him made him look special? Heck, even his back up was better than him that SB year.

[@jordanburden7018]

@@FoxxyBrown1111 The Super Bowl team wasn’t as talented as other super bowl teams. As of now there’s like 3 potential Hall of Famers on that team. Kelce, Lane, and Fletch. Even that year the Eagles won the SB they lost 4 Captains in Wentz, Jason Peters, Jordan Hicks, and Darren Sproles. All fundamental pieces to the team throughout the decade. Idk how many teams in league history can lose their starting QB, MLB, LT, and go on to win the super bowl. Wentz was different than Foles. Both did great things in their own way. Foles is and has been great under pressure throughout his entire football career. Wentz always plays superman ball and that year it made him look like a poor man’s current Mahomes. All i have to say to people is to go back and watch each of those games. Wentz did things that I hadn’t seen guys do

[@FoxxyBrown1111]

@@jordanburden7018 Good post. Otoh, I was never sold on Wentz. Foles has a much better delivery, stronger arm, pocket passer, showed efiiciency on talented teams. A recipe for winning QBs. Actually its a crime Foles got to all the worst teams he ever could go to. That gave him the label of a back up QB without practise reps. He deserves to be a folk hero in Philly forever. Wentz otoh is just another 1st rounder given tons of chances to show off (his shortcomings). The real tragedy is Foles, a humble guy, not Wentz laughing his axx off having fooled everybody.

The unluckiest players are those whose careers ended in camp. With injuries. Before ever stepping on a field for a regular season game... Unlucky are those ignored in the draft or drafted low. For every Romo, Brady, Warner, Kitna, Purdy, Delhomme, etc, there are 1.000 "camp arms" never given a chance to play. That my dear is unlucky... Wentz has his axx shoved up with millions of unworthy dollars. One of the most lucky NFL players ever.

[@joelmellinger5716]

I was in Chicago and staying in the hotel that all the players were the night of the draft. Before heading over to watch the draft across the street, we witnessed a young boy, probably 6 or 7 nervously walk up and approach Carson Wentz to ask for an autograph on his football. Wentz looked down at him, didn't say a word and then looked back up to who I assume was his agent. The guy then just shooed the poor kid away. Never liked the guy after that. Sounds like that behavior continued throughout his career.

Carson's injuries & insecurities were his downfall in Philly after 2017. He clashed with coaches after Reich left, players called him out on his play on the field (HE SHOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THIS SINCE HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE TEAM) then he developed "the Brett Favre/Mark Sanchez Syndrome". He caught feeling when Hurts was drafted but did'nt want to help him which ULTIMATELY led him being ran out of Philly.
