Carson Wentz analysis-Why he will excel at qb in the Colts Offense



                                        Colts planned to draft their QB of the future until Carson Wentz became  available - ProFootballTalk

Carson Wentz had a very tough year in Philadelphia.

This was mostly due to playing with a very banged up offensive line, his relationship with his head coach, his decision to pack on extra weight and the limited options he had at wr.This has been a problem the past 2 years.  Last year alone, he was the most sacked qb in the league at over 4 sacks a game. That is not going to lead to being highly efficient when you are constantly being hit. He needed a fresh start and is getting it with Frank Reich and his Colts staff.

But it doesn't discount the work in did the last 3 years in the league. His stats are up there with every elite qb in the league over that span. I was most impressed about his work in 2019 when his top wr had 43 catches. He threw for 4000 yards without a wr gaining 500 yards on he season. That has never been done before. 

In 2019, he was ranked 10th in the league, 2018 he was 14th and in 2017  he was ranked #5 and was considered as league MVP that year. He has skills.

Why will Carson be successful in Indianapolis

1. The Colts have one of the better offensive lines in the league. They will get a good left tackle to replace Costanzo and be ready to go with a line of   LG Nelson, C Kelly,    RG Glowinski,    RT Braden Smith. They are a very good unit.

2. The Colts run the football with success. This will open play action windows for Wentz to throw the football. They have great backs in Tayler and Hines.

3. The Colts will utilize their skill players and he will have some options. Zach Pascal and Michael Pittman are rising young players and Hines and Taylor are good wr out of the backfield. They will get a 3rd wr via free agency or the draft. They may need a tight end as well but it's still early in free agency.
