Even if the Colts have plans to move on after that, there simply may not be better options for the upcoming season. The most likely scenario is that Wentz will be the starting quarterback in 2022. To be honest, our expectation should have been that he would answer that question fully backing Wentz-as he has for the majority of the 2021 season.īut it was plenty more non-committal than that. But it does feel, at least, a little different when it comes to the conviction Reich has with Wentz. Much has changed even from the offseason when Rivers retired. We shouldn’t look too much into these quotes. He’ll be held accountable just like everybody else will be held accountable.” “Everybody needs to get better so we will go through the evaluation process with Jacoby just like we will go through it with everybody else.

“Yeah, I look back at the year with Jacoby (Brissett) and like I’ve said there was a lot of good stuff. “Yes, as I sit here right now, yes I want Philip Rivers to be my starting quarterback next year.”ĭuring his year-end press conference following the 2019 season, Reich had this to say about the future of then-starter Jacoby Brissett: For instance, when Reich was asked last offseason if Philip Rivers would be the quarterback in 2021, the head coach replied with this: That said, it was a peculiar answer if we’re going to compare it to recent offseasons. Reich isn’t one to divulge details of upcoming roster moves and given his relationship with Wentz, we shouldn’t expect Reich to say that the Colts are moving on from him. “I’m not going to evaluate or talk about any – I don’t want to just open it up with one player and then start talking about all of them.” Next year’s roster will be next year’s roster,” Reich told reporters Monday. We knew everyone we brought in this year we expected to play winning football. “As far as Carson (Wentz), again I mentioned this the other day just with individuals, we loved the team we had this year.
When asked about whether Wentz would be the quarterback in 2022, head coach Frank Reich was non-committal. However, the lack of production and consistency during the second half of the season has many wondering what the future holds for the 29-year-old quarterback.
Wentz is currently under contract through the 2024 season. That includes Carson Wentz and the quarterback position.
