Gabbert had a few scrambles to win that week 18 game :-)

Chase Daniel was out of the league last year...

Interesting, so this means the Chiefs were looking to sign Wentz during the middle of last season? Because he signed with the Rams in November…

Chiefs wanted to sign Wentz last year but he thought he was worth more than Chiefs offered & he ended up in LA.

Teams usually don’t switch back-up QB’s after a Super Bowl win…Chiefs have done it in back 2 back years. https://t.co/93zlQ0lhWu

Only because he had given up on throwing picks.

Should we bring him in on fourth and one and run the QB sneak?
[Reply]

That's actually a huge upgrade.

He got a shot in 2022 with Washington but he was injured after 6 games and then couldn’t get his job back after he was healthy. Washington paid a hefty price to get him from the Colts.

He lost his job to Taylor Heinicke after breaking a finger in a win over the Bears at Soldier Field in mid-October. The Commanders, who were 2-4 under Wentz, went 4-1 under Heinicke, who remained the starter after Wentz was healthy.

As long as they didn’t give him much, it’s a good signing.

I love it… this dude was legit early in his career… injuries derailed him a bit, I believe…. But hell yeah, love this move.
[Reply]

Thank God. The idea of Gabbert stepping onto the field in a meaningful game terrified me.
[Reply]

It looks like the Rams only paid him the minimum, so probably he turned us down thinking he'd get a better offer, we signed Gabbert instead, and the better offer never came.

Carson Wentz led the NFL in QBR in 2017. He's 20th among active NFL QBs in passer rating. He had a 27 TD to 7 INT ratio in his last full season as a starter in 2021.

Is he the best backup QB this franchise has had since Rich Gannon?
[Reply]

our backup is better than 1/3 of starting quarterbacks in the league.
[Reply]

Yes.

And this type of move is one we should have been looking to make the last 5 years. We should always be looking for a b/u QB that's capable of winning 50% of the games they start.

That's the b/u QB's job -- just keep things floating until the boss gets back. You don't have to win anything but just don't lose it.

Put some respect on T0dd C0llins name...
