So after a few days and really thinking about it I still think drafting a QB in the 2nd is a mistake when there are so many other issues. I’m glad we took some WRs later because I do think there is a sleeper in there but someone to help Carson out now would work.
This is just a complete guess and me spitballing, but I wonder if Wentz plans to retire earlier than normal. Obviously I don’t have an basis for this but just based on injuries he has had combined with him starting a family, his focus on religion, and overall personality about charity and good works, I can see him not wanting to risk his future for those extra few years of football.
Even taking a Rodgers route. Say 4 years from now Carson decides, after a few more injuries, having a child, etc that his health and family is more important. He would retire at 31 years old (would turn 32 that season). Hurts would start that season after just turning 25. He would sit 3 years behind Carson, learning the system and the pro game and (hopefully) fixing his issues.
