Dak has been bashed pretty badly here for his dropoff since his rookie season. It seems to me that Wentz is having some of the same issues that Dak is. Teams have figured out what he does well and what he doesn't do well and are exploiting that.

There is hope for Dak and there is hope for Wentz. I'm just saying that Dak isn't unique in this phenomenon.
Do you mean junior slump year? Isn't it his 3rd year?

AGAIN, you simply don't understand the game of football or the QB position. Wentz is another great example that proves this ridiculous theory dead wrong. Wentz has not "regressed", he had a major injury. Takes time. Throw into the equation that their running game has been non existent since the injury to their #1 back, and the decreased play of the defense and you have your problems for the "slump" as you would incorrectly call it.

Just like there are a whole host of reasons why Dak isn't playing like he did in 2016. All obvious stuff.

The "hope" that you mention came in the form of Amari Cooper, and will continue to follow if we can get this Oline fixed in the offseason.

Guy’s a year off tearing his ACL and LCL. We saw what he was capable of last year. He will be a top QB for years to come.
What’s deshaun watson’s excuse? He’s led his team from a projected 6 wins to battling for the #1 AFC seed with the chiefs

Not watson bad the same injury yet because he’s actually a GOOD quarterback he’s helping his team win.

Wrong. He struggled in the beginning of the year. Lost their first 3 or 4 games as I remember? However the team around him has gotten better, not worse since his rookie year. Oline, running game, defense have all improved.

Wentz is a great young QB.

Whatever a QB guru is, you are the opposite of that. Just sayin.

Dak Prescott decides he wants to quit football and sail around the world. You are given a choice of QBs to lead Dallas:

Nick Foles
Carson Wentz

Who you choosing?

I'm not sure Dak will ever have a season that's comparable to Wentz's sophmore year LOL

Sadly, you are not given a choice. You pretty much have to develop the QB you have to the best of your abilities until the next guy comes along. Best QB plays. That's the way it goes.

I would take Wentz over both Foles and Prescott.

Agreed.

Seemed like you were thinking it was odd I was laughing at the other poster for saying Foles is the better QB.

how can you have a Soph slump in your third season? hes coming off a MAJOR knee injury and it takes time to get back fully healthy.,.hes not playing bad imo..its like his first season, less players and he lost some play callers etc..he still throws a better ball then Dak, more 300yard games etc etc why all the hate? Id worry more about our D against Wentz, Dak and Carson do not actually play each other.. the Comps are stupid at this point, Wentz is better then Dak , maybe not huge Gap but hes supposed to eb he was picked top 5 and was traded a ransom to go up and get him..Daks a 4th rounder playing like it..
