How Carson Wentz Career was RUINED.. 

I loved Wentz, he's talented, but dude cant get out of his own way. The decision making at times was just abysmal, and for as tough as he was physically on the field, he was mentally fragile and didnt like hard coaching (or coaching in general). He definitely wasnt the only reason we were struggling in 18 and 19, but hearing him say every week "Ive gotta play better" and then doing the same ish was beyond frustrating.

This leaves out the fact that he would refuse to run plays that the coaches called for him, became insanely paranoid about being replaced by his back ups, and got his coach fired just to leave the team anyway. He's the Ben Simmons of football. Tons of talent, but the wrong mentality to be successful consistently

It's been downhill for him ever since he married Meghan Markle.

I'll never bad mouth Carson, he was super exciting and rejuvenated Philly. If he didn't get hurt who knows what he could have been.

Not brought up enough is: the unknown. We are not privvy to all conversations from the NovaCare complex, or the locker room. What we DO know is: Rookie season - showed potential 2017 season - MVP caliber, ACL injury, Foles wins SB 2018 season - Foles has shaky start, Wentz returns, another injury (back). 6-7 eagles (Foles) win final three games to go 9-7, have the double-doink victory over Chicago before falling to #1 seed Saints 20-14 2019 season - Wentz throws to Walmart cashiers, and Eagles win the division. Seahawks' Clowney hit on unprotected Wentz in playoffs knocks him out of the game with a concussion 2020 season - COVID season, he's bad (bunch of yes-men coaches around him replaced Reich and DeFilippo, who had left after SB). Traded to Indy 2021 season - 27/7 TD/INT ratio, but loses final two games and Colts miss playoffs. Talk about his attitude, teammate reactions, and Irsay all over the place. 2022 season - With Commanders, up and down, festering problems. He might get ONE more opportunity to start, then it'll be back up roles or retirement for him. Which is sad, bc I still appreciate what he did as an Eagle. At a certain point, a man has to get out of his own head and heed the guidance and feelings of others.

You left out the biggest factor in his decline, which was that the Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts as a backup for him. He never felt secure in his job after that, and he started acting like a prima donna. He lost the locker room, and eventually his starting job.

Wentz was stubborn. And ultimately got in his own way.

Carson Wentz was the reason I started to follow football, and it is tragic that he fell off this hard.

I remember being a fan of the way he played when he first came into the league and was playing for Philadelphia. Its crazy the way his career completely unraveled....

The real turning point was the heinous head spearing injury he suffered from that Clowney Criminal in the playoff game against Seattle. Any rational man might lose his focus and nerve after a head injury. His season up to that point indicated his return from the previous knee injury. Clowney should've been banned from the NFL for intentional injury to Wentz's head.

Other points: Tremendous ego problem made him uncoachable reuniting with Reich did not help Wanted to make the “big play” instead of the right play Didn’t endear himself to his teammates Never progressed in his ability to read defenses which made him predictable Lacked accountability in the media (another team chemistry killer) Bad footwork in the pocket that his athleticism used to hide but the injuries took that away Lack of weapons was the LEAST of his issues🤷🏽

Wentz was a scapegoat. He played back to back seasons of not a lot of starters & one year, a little over a year plus, it was just him & Kelce as starters with the rest being bench players & they still won games. He signed a $128 million dollar contract then they draft his replacement instead of a WR or OL. Pretty much the same in DC & Indy too. DC doesn’t have a lot of star power , just a handful of them. In Indy, I saw one game on tv, they were winning, defense broke, they lost, they only blamed Wentz the next day.

I appreciate dramatic music in videos, but I can hardly hear you talk starting around 6:45. Flair for the dramatic I suppose. Great video though. Just poking a little fun at you. You are a up and coming channel.

The guy insisted on playing a college game. In the NFL you do not take unnecessary chances. There is too much money and much bigger and powerful defensemen involved. I would cringe constantly when watching him play. And then he got severely injured. Surprise! Clearly he was stubborn, and that leads to questions about his leadership and his mindset. He came back from the injury a lesser QB and still played like he was way better than he actually was. No weapons? Really? Nick Foles took those same weapons and won a Super Bowl. Every QB has periods where weapons are lacking. But they adjust their style of play according to the people around them. Wentz couldn’t do that. Very stubborn guy.

Wentz was his own poison. Winning in Philly hid the fact he was a cancer in the locker room. One of the biggest that no one really dug into was, he only developed relationships with the white guys. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with the brothas, I mean he did live in North Dakota and go to school North Dakota State, neither of which have any diversity. Whatever the case it became an issue. Alshon made reference to the fact that Ertz was getting most of the passes. Others did not eat until Nick took over. Then there was the audibles. Wentz thought he was Manning and changed most plays regardless of the need. He didn't listen when criticized and rarely took responsibility when he played poorly. Last, he had a fit when Jalen was picked in the 2nd round and tried to freeze him out. He's never been a team player. When that happens you don't get the support you need when things go wrong. Word travels fast in the league, trust me, players knew about Wentz before he got to their team.

Aloha and Mahalo My Brah from Anchorage Alaska being a Lifelong Rams Fan 57 years l ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IF WE DRAFTED HIM.

came here to learn why Irsay was so excited to let him go. instead just stats smh

My honest opinion of all of this is that Carson Wentz is responsible for the downfall of Carson Wentz. Sure injuries played a factor, but his stubbornness above everything else is what caused his downfall. After he tore his ACL Wentz openly admitted he wasn’t gonna change the way he played. And as we saw he didn’t. This guy didn’t know how to throw the football away when he got in trouble and he never seemed to change that and that caused numerous sacks, numerous interceptions, and numerous poor decisions. So obviously that is going to lead to coaches distrusting Wentz. The whole no weapons thing I’m not buying to much since Alshon Jeffrey was probably the best receiver he played with and he still helped lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl win

Foles > Wentz Hurts > Wentz No need to make excuses for grown men…

Carson Wentz is a former 2nd overall pick coming out of North Dakota State. I wonder why people don’t talk about him when he was in the NFL. He is still the most valuable piece as a dual-threat as well as a signal-caller quarterback. He is still 30 years old and has yet to play on a NFL team. He is currently a free agent at the moment. He stood 6 foot 5 and 237 pounder who had a lot more to offer to a team. He also had a problem with his offensive line or didn’t have enough weapons around him. He also had a problem with injuries that was keeping him from playing to his full potential. I would see why NFL teams don’t wanna sign him this season.

How do you not even mention the Clowney concussion?

I miss the rivalry between him and Dak. But I like hurts and Dak too.

He had always been the best player on the team…… he didn’t know what to do with any hint of adversity. Didn’t he throw a fit when hurts was drafted?

Injuries ruined him bit for sure

The guy was bad ass and even did things for kids who were experiencing hardships because of health issues. To bad he ended up that way😢

After the Superbowl win. His lack of LEADERSHIP skills showed more. The players made a shrine to Nick Foles. Also, there was twice when he spoke to the media and threw his receivers under the bus. Alshon Jeffrey took heat by telling media that Carson lost the locker room. And when Jalen arrived, he wouldn't huddle with him on the sidelines.

You really heard this sound mixing and said, “ok post this”

God bless the Eagles and also Mr Wentz

Bring him to the jets

“The injury” for wentz was when Clooney Landed on his head. His concussion was so bad he was puking. That’s when he became so reckless.

Good video BUT that 'background' music was loud af! Lol! I couldn't hear you at times. Thumbs up, I love videos like this. 👍

I came here to find out why Carson isn't playing right now. It seems the Jets could be calling, if we only knew if he's keeping his body, mind and attitude in top shape and he's finally found peace. What usually happens is a tiger can't change it's stripes, so bringing him in to save the Jets season could be a risky proposition; but you have to think he'd be better than the worst starting QB in the league right now.

From Carson Wentz to Carson BENCHED: How did we get here?? 🫨🛋🤔

Wentz was what got be back to watching the NFL again dude was magic pre-injury i saw some guys compare him to brett farve with his playstyle . Sad the way he went out i had hopes maybe he could maybe a capable backup after the commander's stint. If he never comebacks again even as a backup i hope for his mental that he's okay with it.

There was nothing wrong with Alshon Jeffery. He was fun to watch both in Chicago with Brandon Marshall and again in PHI. Very good and well balanced video. Keep up the good work.

Happen to went to NDSU the same time as Wentz. It was truly amazing to see hin go #2 overall from an FCS school. I belive it was a perfect s#$&storm of that lead to his downfall compained with his injuries. I really hope is given another chance.

Don't forget. He was playing reckless that entire year. He played selfishly and lost the team.

I will not stand for the Alshon Jeffrey slander. He was easily a top 12 receiver in 2017 and 2018. Huge part of that Super Bowl roster.

He might not be done. Remember Nick Foles. If Carson ever settles down, everything could click agaim

This video hasn’t aged well. Every one is all of sudden an sports expert online . But no one talks about how Carson Wentz saved Doug Pederson and Franks jobs when they wanted to fire them after the first year . The fact Eagle wouldn’t have an ring without him

I still love Wentz but after the Clowney hit, he has played different. I hated that other Eagles fans turned on him immediately. He couldn’t recognize his own wife & I saw other Eagles fans making fun of that. It’s like he had/has PSTD. Since the hit, he had played with glimpses of his former self.

He’s as mentally weak as they come. Isn’t he the guy that demanded his coach be fired, and then like threw another fit till he got out of,town?

Hopefully Wentz has done some soul searching about what went wrong and understands what he needs to do to earn the respect of his new teammates and get a lot of W’s for the Rams.

Amazing video, I really enjoyed it

White Vick? Thumbs down. Vick was 10 times faster and 10 times more coachable, esp. late in his career. Wentz ruined his career himself. He refused to play when hurt. He was uncoachable. He self diagnosed his playoff concussion. He lost the lockerroom, then the fans. Can`t believe an apologist Wentz video even exists.

He wanted all the money but couldn't carry the team... if the eagles kept his in 2021, his cap hit would have been almost 34 million

LOL, this video was hilarious! Let me say, just like Moses, Wentz wasn't destined to see the promised land, he would stand off from afar watching Aaron lead the people into Canan. Long live Saint Nick, and long reign Jalen Hurts. #FlyEaglesFly

This is a great video bro.

It really didn’t make a dramatic difference until the clowney hit so idk why you left that but out

Wentz ruined his own career with every chance he got his swelled head was bigger than his ability on the field he literally stole the money he made he isnt even a mediocre QB 6 years and out of the NFL says it all

Thank you Carson! Go birds!

Wentz's career wasn't ruined Wentz ruined his own career

It’s weird to me how Wentz gets love for almost winning an MVP than Lamar gets for actually winning the damn MVP.

Let’s get it right the Eagles organization ruined Carson Wentz’s career

Some plagiarism concerns with this one, e.g. when you mispronounce words that not only were *you* supposed to’ve come up with, but they’re common phrases. Didn’t catch them in edit either

I hope he gets another shot somewhere

You would not have traded Carson Wentz for a single NFL player, ironically besides Andrew Luck, one-for-one from 2017-2019.

You spent no time on Wentz as a coach’s nightmare and a head case. Playing NFL QB requires being one hell of a hard worker and continuously learning and improving your skills. Wentz clearly was not cut out to do that. Not only did he not improve, but he got worse and worse. Nobody is interested in bringing him in. I have a feeling he’ll be ok.

Carson made tens of millions, I wouldn't say he ruined his career.

i feel like u could be huge but i feel like u glaze over a lot of huge factors

As being in Philly yeah he should've lasted longer but he, only he, can contain jealousy. And he couldn't which drove him out of Philly. I get the injuries. But u went to two different teams afterwards. So that's where I'm at with it, the ish he did on the colts and skins

Your not completely right i think the locker room was thw biggest issue because he way better than Dan jones and mac jones

He still got payed tho 💰 props to him but I miss him so much

You can’t redshirt for two years.

music is too loud but overall good video

That colts jax game in week 17 2021 omg i made so much money the bet was jax +17.5 when they was up by 13 points. I knew wentz was done when he collapsed in that 3rd qtr. im an 🦅 fan btw. He was good i was at the game when he tore his acl. Dude has the iq of a baby mouse after that injury smh

EDP has entered the chat

Derek Carr would be a good one

Is Bismarck a hewwing? Ahahaha!- Madeline Khan, Blazing Saddles

Receiver corpse, eh? Lol

Wentz is still better than most of the QBs in the league

Welcome to LA

Your credibility is zero. Hurts used those same WR to perform better than Wentz

Some Eagles fans forget how much of an impact Wentz had on us in 2016-2018

The music is BOOMING over a lot of your words. Turn yourself up or the music down. Amazing video otherwise!!!!

Hey got paid. He’ll be alright.

Dude turn down that background music

More excuses for that soft qb position lol😂

I WILL SAY THIS FOR WENTZ WE WOULD HAVE NEVER WON OUR SUPPER BOWL WITHOUT HIM WITHOUT THE NUMBER 1 SEED THAT YEAR WERE DONE!! THEN FOLES BECAME ST. NICK SO I WILL NEVER SAY ANY THING BAD ABOUT CARSON GOD BE WITH HIM AND GOD BLESS HIM

He came back too early after that 2017 injury

Or….. he wasn’t that good?

Might not b great but still one of my favorite players

All hear is excuse after excuse. 😂😂 Wentz is Trash!!

Imagine if he didn’t get injured and went on to win the MVP and the Super Bowl. He would then have the internal confidence that would carry him for the coming years. And if Howie would have drafted the correct receivers (Metcalf and Justin Jefferson), then he could have had real success and maybe another SB. It’s rarely just one thing in team sports, but he can say that he has the ring and a whole lot of money from his career.

Consider that Wentz and Goff came out in the same year and look what Goff is doing. Wentz was never the same after the injury in Philly and Philly really handled that VERY poorly. Carson was on an MVP path before the Rams hit that took him out, setting up Foles to usurp the hero gravitas. Put yourself in HIS shoes, all he did was give it his all and Philly treats him like chopped liver when he gets hurt? That was the first knock and the hits just kept coming after that. The bright side is that he's made MORE money than I've ever made, he should be fine. It's not like he's going back to have to shovel crap or wash dishes in some crappy restaurant.

Why do you play MUSIC !

I think it was an extreme use of performance enhancers. He destroyed his body's ability to heal and his spirit was crushed

You’re not the best story teller, you seem to be going all over the place. The narration isn’t good man.

I still believe wentz can be a solid qb

Say what u want but he got a ring lol

Yea. He was a white Vick!!!

I do feel kinda bad for Wentz. He got the Eagles to the playoffs, then the backup went on the playoff run, beat Brady for the team's first ring, and he's the one they built a statue of. I wouldn't have wanted to show my face there again either.

The music needs to go, you can't even hear anything over it. It really ruins the video. It should at least be turned down by 50%.

This dude did no research. LoL, he was a terrible teammate who was, let's say not comfortable with most of the guys in the locker room. He didn't take criticism at all and was a excuse machine. Other QBs won with the same talent. If Alshon doesn't drop a perfect pass Nick probably would have taken that team to the SB.

The word “corps” as in “receiving corps” is pronounced like “core” not “corpse”.

Who's here after the Rams traded for him? Let's hope he can get something going with Coop and Puka while Stafford is injured

It doesn't help that they drafted a QB. Not to mention, they erected a statue of Foles after the superbowl as if he didn't have a hand in getting us that far in the season. Still got love for him.

Injured all because Clement wanted to celebrate, instead of blocking his guy

ik wentz wasnt the same after his 2017 season but the colts gave up on him way too early, ik he gave fans heart attacks play in and play out (every play felt like a career ender) but he still played well throughout most of the season and all that was done in just a little time of him getting to know the system, the colts teammates loved him and were genuinely excited for him, if he stayed for another year he probably would have found some sort of success in indy

Let’s be frank here, you can't blame anyone but Carson for his downfall. This guy is his own worst enemy, point blank, from his play to his attitude to his leadership. When your locker room builds a shrine to your backup it speaks volumes.
