His QBs in CArolina are Mayfield and Darnold.

 

Plus, he was the HC when those "washed up QB" decisions were made---one after another. 

Mayfield finished the season on the Rams & Darnold is a free agent.  His QBs are Matt Corral, PJ Walker (RFA) & if they want him Jacob Eason.  He needs to sign/trade for a veteran.

 

Carson Wentz?  😄

Mayfield was released and is with the Rams. Did you take a nap mid-season?

Oh that's right forgot all about the "SB Champs"!   

 

So it's Darnold and Walker.

I think his time was basically up when they traded a 1 and 3 for Wentz and it didn’t work out. 
 

The whole point of the move is to recreate the efficiency they had in Philly. But ultimately it turned out that Pederson was the secret sauce. Suddenly Indy was left with a bad contract, down significant draft capital, and no answer at QB….again.

He went 6-6. Frank Riech is a much better hire. Not many teams are hiring defensive minded HC anymore.  Hopefully we consider Wilks as a DC here. 

 

Frank Reich was 3-5-1 before he was fired by Indy.  

 

A "much better hire" based on what?  Wilks did more with a less talented roster.

I mean, he traded a first and a third for Carson Wentz.  His only other swings at QB were Eason and Ehlinger. 

The big one for me as an OC is that he had an opportunity to revive Wentz and it flopped without Pederson. That to me says that Pederson was the secret sauce not Frank. 

 

Frank Reich did not trade for QB front office did.

It is possible that Wentz cannot be revived.

If you happened to listen to Beane's and McD's pressers, the takeaway for me regarding Dorsey was that his job is safe.  That's just my opinion based on what they said, but that's the feeling I got from both.

yes. it was a concern for me

Ok, so let’s go down that path. You would think Ballard made that decision unilaterally?

 

Or he asked Reich and Reich was like “nah, we got lucky for a year or two in Philly, he’s trash.” Then Ballard did it anyways?

 

It’s not a total coincidence that they spent resources on Reich’s former starting QB right after they brought in his other former QB in Rivers. A lot of mental gymnastics to keep Reichs legendary status intact. 
 

I don’t think Reich sucks. I do think he’s “meh”. A good stabilizing coach for a franchise that has been a mess, but not a guy to get you over the hump.

There's no chance that Frank had no choice with Wentz, Ryan....

No I do not think he made it unilaterally. Most working front offices consult with HC on picks but they choose possible candidates for head coach to look at.

What were other choices he was given?  How long of a leash was he given?    Wentz was a bad trade IMO and blaming Reich on it is wrong.
