No excuses for Carson’s shitty footwork.

[3rd & Inches]

After all these years just relying on his athleticism and not fundamentals and technique. Too many balls sailing high.

[Mr. Triple Dip]

I am having my doubts about him getting it together. Hard not to be impressed by the arm and athleticism and think “he will be great”, but I’m no longer in that boat. He can be great...but will he?

It's all on him ... coaching is irrelevant

He throws a lot of balls with just his arm and shoulder strength. He doesn’t plant his feet, twist the hips etc.

After five seasons, probably. He already knows everything.

Gotta be honest, I've supported the guy since go but in year 5 he shouldn't have any mechanics issues at all. I mean he makes RB's look like they are magicians catching the ball on screen passes. He is either lazer sharp or horribly off one play to the next and can't be eltie doing that. Guy is so frustrating.

Ya I put a lot of blame on coaching but they aren't air mailing balls or throwing pedestrian play passes 2 yards too far ahead of the receiver either. At some point we gotta put some of this on 11.

I'm not knowledgable enough to know if his footwork is off but I played enough sports (and still play golf) to know that mechanics can go off the rails at any time for any player.

Every MLB hitter knows how to hit a baseball ... every PGA golfer knows how to hit a golf ball ... and they all work with coaches on mechanics.

And every NFL QB knows how to throw and move their feet, but they can all get into bad habits ... good coaches see it and fucking fix it.

I am sure they can identify some simple things for him to correct but I wouldn't want a QB like Wentz to be reined in too much either. Great QBs like Rodgers, Mahomes, Roethlisberger(someone that Wentz was compered to early on) have plenty of tape showing bad mechanics while simultaneously making great plays.

One thing I worry about coaching wise is if they are cautiously hammering it into his head to stay in the pocket and not to use his legs. While risky, there is no doubt Wentz is at his best when he is consistently extending plays with his legs.

Perhaps some coaches make the knowledge stick better than others. Or maybe some players just never internalize the lessons.

[slag]

All of you are making these sweeping Wentz is a bum suggestions based on two games ... when previously everyone pretty much agreed he was a franchise QB and his problem was staying on the field.

This I agree with 100% and it would be a travesty as that is when 11 is at his best. If either 11 or the coaching staff are playing with fear of injury this will never get fixed.

Edit to add:imagine telling Russ, Mahomes or Rodgers not to improvise or use their legs but this is an assumption but judging by his fragile history a very good one
