briantw Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Looks like Wentz is done for the year with a stress fracture in his back.  Not that it matters much since Philly sucks this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes total sense. Playing through minor injuries that could get a lot worse makes no sense for a team with no playoff shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. Probably should have shut him down weeks ago, to be honest. Can't fuck around with your franchise QB, especially when he tends to expose himself to a lot of hits downfield with his style of play.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Speaking of Wentz, I fear that both he and Mahomes could end up injured a lot of the time. They both run around a lot without avoiding contact while relying on their big arms. Someone needs to show them extensive video of how Wilson avoids the unnecessary hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz and Mahomes have identical 40 times. I suspect Mahomes would be running more if he didn't have guys running wide open through the secondary. And that really serves as an indictment of Mitch. They run the same system and the Bears have guys running wide open too. He just can't hit them like Mahomes. And yeah, it's not a great way to have a long career, or at the very least to maintain your skill set. Big Ben had decent mobility when he was young, but he's a statue now.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does Baker Mayfield, but all three guys play a little differently. I just feel like, from what I've seen of both guys, Wentz tends to take hits downfield more often than Mahomes. Mahomes does seem to get hit a lot behind the line of scrimmage as he throws the ball, but those hits are usually a little lighter than full-speed downfield ones.

Jace, Extat Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 There is something immensely satisfying about punts/scores/turnovers right at the end of the quarter or two minute warning. Like we've all scored one on the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, while that's a tendency of his sometimes I think on that one only like five guys would have had a chance to bounce off the hit and Tommy Brady couldn't have gotten the ball out that fast.
