0:00.0	And away we go, episode 474 of the Algoldi podcast, it is Thursday, December 29, 2022,
0:28.0	the commander's quarterback decision is in Carson Wentz, is the team's new starting quarterback,
0:36.3	replacing a benched Taylor Heinecke, what we expected to happen has in fact happened.
0:43.6	For the record, I am on board with this decision. I do think that there is logic behind going
0:50.2	with Carson as the QB1A. He does offer more upside than Taylor does be. Maybe the biggest
0:57.1	advantage that Taylor had over Carson, the ability to avoid the sack, really has it been much
1:03.5	of an advantage lately. And Taylor has been turning the ball over a ton via sack strip laws
1:09.1	fumbles. See Carson's second go round as the commander's starting quarterback this season
1:14.5	should be better than the first go round given that he's more comfortable with the offense
1:19.2	in the team in theory has more of an offensive identity. And the overall offensive output with
1:25.5	Taylor as a starting quarterback has not been very good. But look, things certainly could
1:31.6	be worse with Carson than they were with Taylor. There's irony here in that Taylor is coming off
1:37.6	a game in which she actually did a lot of good things against a really good defense in that
1:42.0	of the San Francisco 49ers. And ultimately the commander's offensive line from a pass protection
1:48.3	standpoint this season is quite bad. And so it may not matter who the team starting quarterback is.
1:54.4	This is such a rare situation. An NFL team in possession of a playoff spot super late in a
2:00.9	regular season making a change at quarterback. But this is the situation for our commanders for
2:07.9	whom many things are quite rare. Hello and welcome to this Thursday installment of the Algoldi
2:13.6	podcast Wednesday morning. Well, some of you were having your morning coffee while some of you
2:19.1	were at the gym while some of you were doing the walk a shame. Hey, don't worry. We don't judge
2:24.0	on this podcast. The commanders tweeted out their quarterback decision. The commanders in a tweet
2:31.0	at 805 Eastern on Wednesday morning said that Carson Wens will be the team starting quarterback
