Carson Wentz’s performance on Monday Night Football drew heavy criticism from everyone in the NFL community, and Skip Bayless joined in by going off on the quarterback.

The 33-year-old threw for 81 yards and completed only 8 passes out of 25 attempts, which meant he had a completion rate of only 32%. Wentz ended up with a passer rating of 8.9, which is the lowest for any player with 25 or more passes in the NFL since 2019.
His inability to get the ball to the end zone led the Vikings to suffer a 6-23 defeat and pushed them out of the top place in the NFC North.
This was Wentz’s chance to prove that he could take over Kyler Murray as the starter, but he put on a horrific performance, which led to the Vikings deciding to trade for Kirk Cousins at the trade deadline, which was just a day after the game.
Skip Bayless believes Carson Wentz is not accurate consistently
Wentz was a regular starter in the league for 7 seasons. He was a second pick in the 2016 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles; however, he was never able to fulfil the promise he showed at North Dakota State.
In the games he has started, Wentz has thrown for over 23,000 yards and completed 62.7% of his passes. But none of that impressed Bayless, who fired shots at Wentz, discussing his performance on Monday Night Football.
“I have been hard on him. I was hard on Carson Wentz coming out of college before he got drafted. I didn’t like him at North Dakota State. I didn’t like his poise or his feel. He’s one of those guys who’s the prototype 6’5, 240-pound, rocket-arm quarterback who can’t play football, and he’s not accurate consistently. All he can do is throw it through a brick wall. Well, that’s not how you win NFL games at the highest level,” said Bayless on Gridiron.
With Cousins now set to take over the reins as the starting quarterback, Wentz’s future with the Vikings could be questionable. They already have Kyler Murray, who can play as the backup.
He is definitely a good piece to have on a team, as he has proven experience starting games, which not a lot of backups in the league have. However, after his performance against the Bills, fans would definitely not be happy if they see him take snaps under center.
