Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
All Right, the Minnesota Vikings this weekend, their starting quarterback
will not be the rookie JJ McCarthy, he is injured.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It will be Carson Wentz. And with that, this is
the headline.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Carson Wentz becomes the first quarterback in NFL history to
start for six different teams in six consecutive seasons.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's insane. It's happening.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
And I have a lot of respect for it, for
his resilience and his toughness. And we're going to look
back on how in the heck.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
This just happened.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Remember twenty sixteen, Good Morning Football was in its very
first season and the Eagles had drafted Carson Wentz number
two overall. I'm Jared Golf out of North Dakota. The
story goes, Howie Roseman went to a diner in North Dakota.
They met with Carson Wentz. They had a feeling about him.
They took him. They traded Sam Bradford, their incive starter
right before the season.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Said we're giving the keys to the rookie. The rookie
was excellent.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
He didn't throw any interceptions to start the season. On
Good Morning Football and its infancy, I started growing a
beard called the Wentz Beard, and I said I wouldn't
shave until Carson Wentz throws an interception That lasted five weeks.
When he finally threw one to Darius Slay of the
Detroit Lions, we had a barbershop quartet and I was
shaved live on the air. Twenty seventeen comes around and
(01:40):
oh my god, Carson Wentz.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Is so good? How good? He's the best player in
the league. He was going to win the MVP. This
is just a fact, It is not debatable. And then
he goes to the.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
La Coliseum where the Rams are playing at the time,
he tears his ACL.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
He goes down and in really in a lot of
ways for the Eagles. He never got back up.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
At the time, I was a huge Wentz supporter, and
I went on Twitter and here were my thoughts on
Carson Wentz tearing is ACL in the middle MPP season.
I'd black league in my own ACL to keep him
on the field. The hell am I doing with him?
Valid point, I couldn't do it. Carson Wentz is then done.
Turns out the Eagles going to win the Super Bowl
with a backup quarterback. They go in Minnesota, they battle
(02:20):
Brady and this is a picture worth a billion words.
There is Carson with his hands on the trophy. He's
a Super Bowl champ. But Nick Foles, who took over
for him, led them their Super Bowl MVP. A very
loaded image. Carson would start the next year, Folds would
come back again. It never really got right, and then
that's when it gets crazy. The Eagles draft Jalen Hurts
(02:40):
in twenty twenty. The writing was on the wall. Then
Carson goes to the Colts. He is traded to the
Indianapolis Colts. This season happened to be on hard knocks.
They had a dramatic last game loss in which they
missed the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It was considered to disappoint him.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Twenty twenty two, the Indianapolis Colts traded Carson Wentz two
Washington Commanders football team, whatever they were.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Twenty twenty two. There he is throwing a touchdown at
Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Looks like it's going pretty well, right well, he was
placed on injured reserve, and sure enough, in twenty twenty three,
he becomes a Los Angeles ram after being released by
the Commanders. Now he's playing for Sean McVay. He's doing
some good things there out on the field. But again
he starts for all these teams. It's like he's in
(03:29):
his different eras this was his Rams era. Did he
stick there, absolutely not. He enters free agency and in
twenty twenty four he is signed by the Chiefs. Now
he's playing for Reed. Now he's playing for Hope. This
was last season he did start. I don't know if
you remember it. He started the last at the end
of the season. It was not pretty, but he was
out there throwing the ball around. Went to another Super Bowl.
(03:52):
This time he lost to not get another ring. Enters
free agency again and now he is signed by the
Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
He will start this weekend. Again.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
This is not just a backup who jumps from team
to team and there's a guy they like to bring
in because he's good in the locker room and experience.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's not quite the same as Teddy Bridgewater.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Carson Wentz has gone six straight seasons with sixteen starting
at least one game in all those seasons. It's never
happened before. You might remember a few years back there
was this viral picture of Carson working out in what
appears to be a high school, and it was really
funny because look at all the gear he's got on
Eagles in Washington, in Indianapolis that was like three teams ago.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He could put on socks now and cleats and an
armsleeve that is all kinds of different logos.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's an amazing thing now that Carson Wentz is back.
I remember we used to call the Wentzwagon in Philadelphia
and all the journeys that would go on, and he
was considered once the absolute future of not only the
Philadelphia Eagles, but quarterbacking in the league. It's taken a
million different turns, but I respect Carson Wentz so much
for showing up, being a pro and just chucking that ball.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Same time. Next year, different team, Carson Wentz.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I would bet on it. If he's done six, he
could do seven. He will show up in the ball.
I love him professional, and we'll see where it goes next.
