Carson Wentz or Patrick Mahomes?

I mean right now we seem to believe that Mahomes is keeping the OL from looking even worse than it is. If we were to put Wentz under center, play as simple as possible and have him just hit his drop, throw the ball and then move onto the next play. We run the ball a bit more when the situation calls for it (as it did in the 3rd/4th quarter yesterday) and just make the offense as ordinary as it can be.

Then see what happens. It might be a damn disaster and prove that Mahomes is the only reason this offense is as much as ordinary. And it might not.

This is where I'm at. I wouldn't at all say that I think Wentz is a better option than Mahomes, but I AM curious to know what it would look like.

Don't get me wrong - my expectation is NOT that the offense looks better.

It's that it still looks viable. With a far lesser light at QB. Which could then establish a clearer baseline of how it could work with the better QB back at the controls who now has a clearer vision of where he may just be gripping the bat too tight.

It'll look cleaner. And show better where the duct-tape and bubble game Mahomes and Reid have been using this year was/was not necessary. Where it's helped and where it's hurt.

And again, it might just look like shattered ass. In which case we know that maybe what we've seen over the last 8-10 weeks is (bizarrely) what we have to work with.

But I can't convince myself that's the case. I don't think one single change at LT has made everything THIS much worse.

I think we've lost the plot. And a step back may be hugely beneficial for everyone involved.

I'm hoping we eventually get a postmordem about what the actual **** is going on. It's just pure ass on offense.

Had you told me we'd be pondering the delta between these two at the start of the year is call you crazy but here we are.
