Everyone's success or failure is in part a product of the guys around him (including coaching). I said it was more so than other guys in Dak's case. Wentz faced a lot of adversity with injuries last year as well and kept right along.
An injury or two should not mean a near complete collapse at the QB position (unless that injury is to a QB).
The Eagles were fortunate that their backup QB was capable enough to have a good run.
I agree that All QB’s are a product of people around them to an extent. Football is the ultimate team sport.
But my question is, why is Dak a product of them, more than the other guys? What evidence is there of that?
You mention Wentz. He did have a lot of injuries around him. Then again, his backup played with the same team around him, post injuries and he put up near historic numbers in the playoffs and won super bowl MVP. So clearly the supporting cast wasn’t that bad even after the injuries to guys like Sproles and Peters. That’s my point.
