Washington latched onto Carson Wentz because it couldn’t do any better. ConorOrr on what he calls a desperate move
If you wanted an idea of just how thin and desperate the quarterback market is, look no further than what the Commanders did on Wednesday, trading a handful of mid-round picks to the Colts for the right to be the third coaching staff to try to get Carson Wentz back on track.
Sometimes, after weeks in the desert without food and drink, we start to imagine ice cold Yeti coolers full of spring water and buffet trays full of chicken and french fries. The Commanders might not be there yet, but they, like the Colts, are choosing to see Wentz as the MVP candidate in a high-percentage RPO offense and not the prospect who was mismanaged, underdeveloped and forced into brain-scrambling hero ball for the better part of two seasons.
More than that, Washington probably saw its own dark corner of all this illuminated. There are a handful of teams that need to wade through this desperation, that need to trade serious capital for Jimmy Garoppolo or extract the remaining juice from Matt Ryan at more than $30 million a season.
