Carson Wentz now a member of the Washington Commanders
Wentz blew hot and cold during his only season with the Indianapolis Colts. His performance in the final game of the season showcased his struggles throughout the campaign.
The Colts needed to defeat the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars to secure a playoff berth. However, they were soundly beaten, with the 29-year-old posting a QBR of just four (50 being average).
He was subsequently traded back to the NFC East in the offseason for multiple mid-round draft picks. The 29-year-old still has three years left on his current contract and has cap hits of over $26 million each year, with Washington picking up the entirety of his contract.
The move back to the NFC East has been met with its fair share of criticism, as many thought Washington was in the market for a superstar quarterback.
Many would argue that the 29-year-old is not a superstar, as he has demonstrated numerous shortcomings over the course of his career.
The Commanders offer a fresh opportunity for the former Colt, but going by the reaction to the new uniforms that feature Wentz, it hasn't gotten off to an ideal start.
