Troy Aikman Issues Warning to Carson Wentz as the QB of the Commanders

Carson Wentz has one final shot to prove himself according to Troy Aikman.

Wentz, who was the Philadelphia Eagles’ No. 2 pick in 2016 and had an MVP-level 2017 season, was traded to the Washington Commanders in March after a pretty average year as the Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback. Aikman made the remarks on an ESPN conference call. He will be in the “Monday Night Football” booth this season.

“This is probably his last opportunity, just being blunt about it, to prove that he can be a franchise quarterback in the NFL,” the three-time Super Bowl winner said, via NFL.com.

“I think that right now, Carson had an opportunity; it didn’t end well in Philadelphia, of course. He then got traded to Indianapolis. Didn’t go great for him there. They decided to make another change at that position, and now he’s landed in Washington.”

Don’t necessarily agree with Troy on this take, for one, the NFL is in desperate need of QB’s, and there’s no doubt another team desperate enough for a name would add Wentz to their roster. Wentz just needs to be average, which is just about what everyone expects from him at this point of his career.

Last season Wentz had 3,563 passing yards, 27 touchdown passes and seven interceptions.
