What’s crazy is that if Carson Wentz plays well and gets the #Commanders to the playoffs, he will have been the best veteran-QB acquisition of a 2022 NFL offseason from which every veteran-QB acquisition has been a bust. The others can’t change their narratives for 2022. He can.

I’m also told that if the #Commanders go into Week 18 with a “meaningful game” for playoff contention, they currently expect to start Carson Wentz then again too. If not, they likely will look to evaluate Sam Howell more next week.

Taylor Heinicke. “It sucks…” but he will do what he’s done before: support the starter. pic.twitter.com/hNTV6re2mw

Rivera said it would have been “asinine” to change QBs several weeks ago or when Wentz was first ready. Team was winning. Going 0-2-1 changed the outlook. (Wentz was only on the active gameday roster the past two weeks, tho one week he missed with an illness).

Seeing people who don’t follow this team say benching Heinicke for Wentz is absurd is funny af

In the three games that Kam Curl has missed this season, opponents have scored a combined 95 points.

Want a wild scenario – Commanders get in playoffs as 7 seed, face Kirk Cousins and the Vikes. Say they win? Carson Wentz goes back to Philly for a playoff game against the Eagles.

Breaking: The Raiders are benching Derek Carr and turning to Jarrett Stidham as their new starting QB, per @AdamSchefter. pic.twitter.com/J9Lqryo7ex

This is big: The #Raiders are benching Derek Carr and will start Jarrett Stidham vs. the #49ers.
Carr has $40.4M that becomes guaranteed if he can’t pass a physical. Vegas could get out of his contract this offseason — and this seems to be a step towards that happening.

I had to keep it real on the Raiders and Derek Carr, who has been benched for the final two games pic.twitter.com/5WEMJbfn3E

He has a no trade. Basically they would need to work with him over the next month or so to give him a list of teams he would be willing to be traded to, if any. They would then have to get one of those teams to agree to trade for him even though he can’t be traded until march https://t.co/MwOElxtWNv

Get ready for the group of fans wanting Derek Carr this offseason. QB camps are coming soon… get your tents ready https://t.co/AMoyUGrNcE

The problem with players like Carr is that the salary spread between the great qb and solid nfl quality qb is too small to really make up the talent gap. The draft alternative is ultra cheap and carries higher upside

Someone photoshop Derek Carr into a Colts uniform, just to get ahead of the inevitable.

Jimmy Garoppolo’s gamble in staying with the Niners seems like it’s paying off handsomely. Could return in January to lead a Super Bowl roster. And two staffs he has close ties to now could have a QB need in March.
