If you have followed the aftermath of the Indianapolis Colts’ late-season collapse, you have likely realized that Jim Irsay has been beyond upset over how his team could not qualify for the postseason.
The 62-year-old team owner had a squad with a solid coach, elite defense that could force turnovers at a high level, a strong offensive line, and arguably the best running back in the NFL in Jonathan Taylor.
The only question about the team was at QB.
He seemed to point that fact with a shot at Carson Wentz on Twitter:
“You can see, clear as day, in The Final 8 NFL Team Playoffs…you need a QB and Offense, who can score 30 or more in Regulation…” Irsay tweeted. Adding, “And a Defense that can hold an opponent under 30!”
He later added: “While others fret, worry and toss in bed…we prepare, in the dark night, and ready… making plans to conquer.”

This year’s AFC and NFC Divisional Round games may have been some of the best in recent memory where the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford, and Tom Brady wowed the football world with their performance. Wentz doesn’t provide that at all.
Indianapolis had two weeks to win one game and clinch a playoff berth. Wentz could only muster 148 passing yards in a Week 17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and 185 in an embarrassing performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars led to his team’s season ending early.
The Colts defense only allowed 21.5 points per game this season, but the offense could only muster up 26.5 per game.
It remains unclear if the team will run it back with Wentz behind center. It would make the trade for him that much worse, given what they gave up to get the QB from Philly.
