Gronk would be an elite lacrosse player without needing stick skills

Gronk wouldn't even have to worry about stick skills. I mean, the stick would be invisible. You'd stick him on attack, and he'd be able to run through everybody.

Given Gronk's athletic profile, this is a reasonable assumption, though it remains purely hypothetical.

The Eagles are the biggest losers of the Carson Wentz trade

The biggest losers being the Philadelphia Eagles, I would say. I would frame it in the context of the Eagles traded for him to draft him. Then they gave him a ton of money. Then they also gave him a ton of money and $33 million against the cap, and their franchise quarterback that they thought they had traded for and everything was hunky-dory is now gone.

The Eagles did indeed take a record-setting dead cap hit ($33.8M) to trade Wentz, and the draft capital they spent to get him in 2016 was massive.

Carson Wentz can find his old self with Frank Reich in Indianapolis

The reclamation of Carson Wentz, like Frank Reich was where he had his success earlier in his career. I do think that he can—I'm not throwing him out. I'm not saying that he can't find old Carson Wentz. And the best place for him to do that is the Indianapolis Colts.

Wentz was significantly better in 2021 (27 TDs, 7 INTs) than 2020, but he collapsed in the season finale vs the Jaguars and was traded away after only one year.

The Raiders are the biggest losers of the Wentz trade because they wouldn't part with Derek Carr

I'd say that the losers of this trade would be the Raiders. The Raiders lost this trade because the Colts tried to get Derek Carr first, and the Raiders were like, no, we're not going to part with Derek Carr. That's a loss for the Raiders right there.

Carr remained with the Raiders for two more seasons and led them to the playoffs in 2021 before his eventually rocky exit, so keeping him wasn't an immediate disaster.
