“The narratives are all unfair,” Commanders HC Ron Rivera defends Carson Wentz amidst questions on attitude

Washington Commanders are turning a new page this season as they have handed over the quarterback position reins to Carson Wentz for the upcoming 2022 NFL season. However, the 29-year-old is coming with a rather unwanted reputation of being tough to work with.

The reputation garnered further momentum when Carson Wentz was traded for a second time in consecutive seasons first from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Indianapolis Colts in 2021 and once again from the Colts to the Washington Commanders in 2022.

However, Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera is not paying any attention to such claims as he continued to defend his premier quarterback waving off rumours of Carson Wentz being difficult to work with.

Ron Rivera was quick to say that the team has gelled in well with Carson Wentz so far during the offseason and it might even solve the biggest problem the franchise has had over the past couple of seasons in regards to having a good quarterback lead the side.

“The narratives are all unfair,” Rivera said Wednesday on SiriusXM. “I mean, obviously he left each place for their reasons. OK, great—that’s their reasons. He’s here for our reason. He’s here because we want him here. He’s here because we see what he can do, we see what he’s done. And based on what we do, we see there’s an opportunity. And that’s why he’s here.

“And we have a lot of confidence in what we’ve seen so far. The guys have all assimilated to him. They’ve rallied around him. And that’s a huge plus because, again, based on what we went through for the last couple of years—and probably before I got here—trying to find the quarterback.”
