OT: Washington Commanders: 2022 Offseason - Part 1 - Commander Carson Edition

[CaptainAmerica]

Can’t believe I’m about to defend Wentz, but here I go.

2022 Stats:

Wentz: 27 TDs/7 INTs

Mayfield: 17 TDs/13INTs

Wentz was actually having a decent season before his end of year implosion.

That’s great but if DC is going to take another teams trash I’d rather they take the younger option.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Browns refusing to trade Mayfield now lol….

It's going to be the Falcons. DW is from GA.

NO are probably being kept around just to drive up the price.

That seems shortsighted to me. Wentz isn't my favorite anything, but he's a better QB than Mayfield in most situations. Their stat line averages are very similar in most categories except TD:INT ratio (Wentz 140 TD vs 57 INT, Mayfield 96 TD vs 56 INT). Then figure in the current state of the QB market and DC being a place no one wants to be, and I don't think we could have done better than Wentz in the short term.

Cleveland suddenly treating Mayfield as a hot commodity despite recently dogging him in the press makes it pretty clear that landing him will cost, and retaining him if he pans out is also a dodgier proposition. Wentz is easier to keep if it works out and easier to walk away from if it doesn't. Youth doesn't matter much. Mayfield is like 2.3 years younger and I'm not sure we'd 100% be counting on either of these guys to be long term solutions.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Robert Woods has become a "prime trade candidate" following the Rams' addition of Allen Robinson.​

Schefter reports the Rams have already begun receiving calls. It makes sense. Matthew Stafford didn't seem to gel with Woods, and the Rams now have a ridiculous amount of resources tied up in their receiver corps, while still wanting to re-sign Odell Beckham. Recovering from a torn ACL, Woods' contract is guaranteed for injury, so he is not a candidate to be released. A trade would be the way to go if the Rams are ready to move on. Schefter reports Woods is expected to be healthy for training camp.

I would like Woods in Washington

Wentz is 29 and Baker turns 27 in a month. Age difference is pretty negligible. Wentz is also bigger, stronger, and more athletic (if you trust the RAS reports) so I’m not sure Baker’s two years of age difference matters much.

Wentz was 9th in NFL QBR last year ahead of guys like Russell Wilson, Joe Burrow, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, and Dak Prescott. Heinicke was 23rd. Mayfield was 27th.

Wentz over Baker any day, for me. Can’t believe I’m defending Carson Wentz. This team, man.

It’s not about stats and physical “tools”. Jeff George was called the best passer in NFL history from a physical standpoint by some but he was a f***ing head case that no one liked. By all reports Wentz is Jeff George 2.0. No one likes him and that’s why he is on his 3rd team in a year. Why Indy traded him away before Philly could use Indy’s 1st they got for Wentz.

And it sounds like Mayfield is in the same Jeff George category. So, for me, if I have to have another teams trash I’d rather have the younger of the two.

Mayfield: 17 TDs/13INTs

Wentz was actually having a decent season before his end of year implosion.

Mayfield played all year with a serious throwing shoulder injury that needed surgery immediately after the season ended. Maybe he shouldn't have been playing, maybe his "toughness" was a detriment to his ability to perform at a high level, but in terms of stats, Mayfields 2020 season was 26 TDs/8 Ints, which is darn close to Wentz 2021 season.

Its all water under the bridge now, but Mayfields teammates and fans LOVE him, and Wentz teammates and fans don't appear to feel the same. We'll see what Schtwaffles fans think of him after the season is over.

Translation: He played in Carolina

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

It will be interesting to see how ATL and Ryan’s relationship is after this.

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Crazy amount of picks and contract for a guy who may not play this season.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Wow The Browns just go real

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Crazy amount of picks and contract for a guy who may not play this season.

I think it’s safe to say…..he’s playing. He just got more guaranteed money to settle all his grievances.

now….how much can they recoup with Mayfield in a trade?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Wonder if Baker has more trade value then Wentz. Idk who would want Baker at this point.

Shocked it was the Browns. Thought for sure he would go with ATL.

The NFL hasn’t administered punishment yet. That’s still in play. And considering what they did to Brady over some made up BS Watson isn’t in the clear.
