The Indianapolis Colts’ decision to trade for Carson Wentz this offseason was questioned by fans for multiple reasons, with the two most popular being his durability concerns and that he was coming off the worst statistical year of his career.
While we wouldn’t go as far as to call Wentz injury prone (the Eagles certainly did him no favors with their offensive line), it’s understandable why fans harp on the fact he’s played 68 of a possible 80 regular season games over his first five seasons.
