Rivers was a quick fix with Luck's retirement. Wentz was another quick fix that went South on them quick. Ryan was also a quick fix that went even further South on them.

They really should have given Wentz another year. Is he great? No. However, you had a chance at the post season last year and you unfortunately had to play a team on the road that historically has your number. These things happen. It wasn't justifiable enough IMHO to jettison him after 17 appearances.

They would have been probably further along and better off this year with Wentz having one year to gel and understand everything that Reich was looking for.

Wasn’t there some tweet by Irsay with disparaging remarks about Wentz after he was traded or was that fake? I saw something about him saying the commies would regret trading for him but it probably was fake.

Regardless, I have to believe Wentz’s trade was all Irsay and not the personnel guys or coaches in that building.

I’ll add, It’s great having Irsay in the division.
