After spending one season as the Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford, Carson Wentz signed a one-year deal with the defending Super Bowl champions to replace Blaine Gabbert as Patrick Mahomes’ understudy.
The @EagleFanCentral X/Twitter account connected the dots and offered a compelling theory that Wentz himself is on the path to follow Nick Foles’ footsteps and become a Super Bowl-winning QB and MVP.
As the account noted, Foles spent one season with the Rams (2015) before moving to Kansas City for one year (2016). He returned to the Eagles in 2017 (Foles initially played in Philly from 2012 to 2014) and led them to a Super Bowl 52 championship after Wentz suffered a season-ending ACL tear in a game against the Rams.
Carson Wentz was the Rams’ backup for one year before going to Kansas City. So if the trajectory continues, he’ll return to Philadelphia in 2025 and lead them to a Super Bowl 60 championship:
The Eagles traded up via the Cleveland Browns to select Wentz with the No. 2 pick back in 2016. He was on his way to MVP honors in 2017 before suffering his season-ending injury, and Wentz unfortunately never got close to that elite form again when he returned in 2018.
After losing his starting job to Jalen Hurts (the current Eagles’ starter) in 2020, Wentz requested a trade and was sent to the Indianapolis Colts. He lasted one year there before getting sent to Washington, where Wentz lasted one season in 2022.
Carson Wentz Is Likely A Backup From Here, But Anything Is Possible
Right now, it’s hard to imagine Wentz ever becoming a full-time starter again. But we said that about Foles seven years ago before he emerged as the Eagles’ Super Bowl 52 hero, not to mention that other backup QBs like Jeff Hostetler (New York Giants in 1990) also completed the improbable.
