Ask yourself this. If the 2 teams traded QBs prior to the game would we of lost? I think we still win maybe by a little more though.

Wentz is on a team that just won a superbowl. Why would he be better on a team that has been in perpetual mediocrity for 20 years?

How does Dak do when he has no rushing game to lean on?

How does any QB do in that situation? The Eagles RBs averaged 4.5 YPC tonight, which is an average that would rank in the top 12 if it carried throughout the season. The Eagles were passing because they were behind and their passing game is better than their run game, not because they can't do it.

Wentz has a team that just won the superbowl without many subtractions. He has much better coaching, a much better tight end, comparable if not better WR core, had the refs helping the Eagles all night, arguably a better o line and more.

It's really no surprise that Dak and Zeke look 10 times better when Scotty L actually does his job and doesn't slam Zeke into their defense on first down 9 times out of 10 and we don't have Connor Williams getting blown up every other play.

Dak supporting cast is a whole lot better than wentz's.
Bull. Wentz, by far, has much better talent as weapons than Dak currently has. They are the defending SB champions for a reason: much better talent.

Dak is another stud big WR, TE and a much healthier Oline away from being equal in surrounded talent as Wentz has. Oh, and coaches.

Cowboys should go in next year's draft after the Longhorns 6'5" WR Lil' Jordan Humphries and super fast Slot Receiver Devin Duvernay (if Cole Beasley leaves as expected via free agency after this season). This Offense would be set.

The way Collingsworth criticized Daks missed throws versus Wentzs was sickening.. Just the overall tone.. the bias is real

I'm a Dak fan. But even I think he needs a little bit more polishing. He did come back and say some good things about Dak after that though.

I'd love to have Ertz on our team. But it might be hard for the announcers to keep saying "Dak, Zeke Ertz" all the time. It feels like their trying to speak Slovic.

If it's the Sunday night announcers, they only talk about the greatness of the Cowboys opponents.

No way Dak outplayed anyone with him missing wide open receivers and fumbling the ball himself. Thank the maker Zeke is on the team.

I like our weapons better. They have the better TE, we have better receivers and rb. Wentz is better dak. That is the difference

This is a Dak vs wentz thread. I guess we can talk about that in the Garrett vs Peterson thread.

It was Dak's best game all year for sure but Wentz still dropped 360 on us.

Because their gameplan allowed him to. They always allow him to. One thing I am tired of is talking about Dak's small statistics. We don't turn him loose. He has had so many huge first halfs; and then we just sit on it and take the foot off the gas. It happened last year, it happened this year. He will never put up numbers. They don't let him.
