Former second overall NFL draft pick Carson Wentz has now departed three NFL teams after being released by the Washington Commanders. That news didn’t come as a shock, but what did raise eyebrows was criticism from Peter King.
In his Football Morning in America column, King questioned if Wentz will “allow himself to be humbled” and pondered whether or not he will “be a selfless teammate” should he get a fourth opportunity with a team.
One of the more critical comments from King claimed “I’d argue that no player in NFL history has cost so much and delivered so little.”
On 104.5 The Zone’s Ramon, Kayla & Will, host Will Boling commented that he couldn’t remember a more scathing takedown of an NFL quarterback.
“I just saw one of wildest quotes from an NFL writer about an NFL player popping up from Peter King in The Monday Morning Quarterback.,” Boling said, before directly quoting King’s article. “Tell us how you really feel, Peter. That’s crazy.”
Co-host Kayla Anderson sheepishly added “I think I agree”.
“How has Carson Wentz continued to get all this love? That’s what’s so crazy about it,” co-host Ramon Foster said.
“Peter King is coming from the perspective that you do,” Bolling continued. “That when a quarterback gets put on pedestal…you’re the one that’s always asking ‘Huh. If this guy was a right tackle that had gone undrafted, would they be getting this much love?’ No.”
