Carson Wentz led the Indianapolis Colts to a 9-8 winning record without making the playoffs this season, is his QB1 role in danger now? During his season-ending conference, Colts’ general manager Chris Ballard revealed that he is not committing to Carson Wentz for the 2022 season.

Carson suffered two significant defeats at the end of the season, depriving the Colts of a playoff season. The one that counted the most was their humiliating 26-11 loss against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. His stumble down the finish line gave the franchise second thoughts over the QB1 role that he holds.

“Sitting here today, just so y’all know, I won’t make a comment on who is going to be here next year and who is not going to be here next year,” Ballard said. “That’s not fair to any player.”

“I’d like to quit Band-Aiding it,” he continued. “I’d like for Carson to be the long-term answer or find somebody who will be here for the next 10-12 years. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. I can dream about it, wish about it, do everything I can to figure out the solution, but you do the best with what you can do at the time.”

Even NFL Insider Ian Rapoport in his appearance at ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ the day after the Jaguars and Colts season finale matchup, talked about the same.

“I could see a situation where the Colts draft a QB,” said RapSheet. “They believe in Carson Wentz, but yesterday was bad.” McAfee being a former Colts punter, expressed that even though Carson did great throughout the season, that last game was, in fact, messed up.
