Dak Prescott has higher ceiling than Carson Wentz

[erod]

Wentz has a much higher ceiling.

But he's apparently made of glass.

This year is make or break for him, literally.

According to Greg Jennings, who obviously is very knowledgeable and shows excellent judgement. Dak has already proven he’s a stud. We are fortunate to have him as our QB. We couldn’t ask for a better face for the franchise: great leader, loved by his teammates and coaches, never embarrasses himself, tough as nails, and of course extremely clutch. Get the deal done Jerry.

He does not.

That doesn't mean he won't be better, ceilings are not always reached, but this is a silly assertion.

I would argue that playing well during the playoffs is an excellent measure of how good a QB is, since that is when pressure and competition is at its most intense. Obviously Rodgers and Wilson are great QBs since they have both won Super Bowls. That makes the fact that Dak outperformed them in the playoffs even more meaningful. We just need the rest of the team to play as well as Dak and we will be good.

Winning a super bowl does not make one a great QB.

I do think Dak is a better leader and has those skills that Wentz doesn't have. In the 4'th quarter, needing a drive to win, I'd hand the ball to Dak and his ability to put previous drives out of his head and lead the team. Wentz hasn't shown that he can do that. As far as accuracy and arm, right now it's Wentz and may always be. Durabilty? It's a vicious game. Every player is durable up until the big hit

I wish I could give you more than 1 like.

Well said. I trust Dak in pressure situations.

In the second game against Philadelphia last December, with the division title on the line, Dak was 17 for 20 for 243 yards and 3 TDs in the 4th quarter and overtime. He overcame a poor start. Wentz couldn’t match him and the Cowboys won the division.

except that rogers and wilson are known to "carry" the team and have the skins to show that capability. dak has some cool #'s that have not translated into anything noteworthy.

Other than the fact he carried us against green bay.

Like that damned Packers game in 2016. Not a great first half but outplayed Rogers in the second half. That spike call still kills me! Marchin, drivin, Packers sucking air and what ???SPIKE??? Stop the clock, kill the momentum give 'em time to catch their breath???? Then what 54 seconds for Rogers?? Still too fresh

Apparently the Eagles drafted a Ferrari and got a V dub. We drafted a V Dub and got a Hummer. Built like a frickin tank. They we installed a tail gunner and gave him some ammo and an afterburner for late game heroics when needed

 

[cowboyec]

screw wentz.
screw philly.
Dak all the way....he just wins.
COWBOYS

Don't understand how this comment doesn't have more likes! Well said.

Wentz ceiling is higher than Dak's, just from the basic fundamentals of being a QB. Anyone saying otherwise is crazy. 1 thing is holding Wentz back and that's durability.

You got it! Wentz had 30 tds and 7 int and that team went to the SB. Wentz even has ring because he contributed to the team getting there.

 

[Hadenough]

Skip makes some strong points. Dak had the higher QBR in all 3 playoff games he’s been in - higher than Rodgers, Wilson, and Goff.

Dak also had the highest QBR out of the 12 quarterbacks who were in the playoffs last year. That’s something I didn’t know. Very impressive.

Stop making things up! DAK was 1-10 in 3rd down conversions against the Rams in the first half alone.

Even last season, he improved in nearly every area he was weak in in 2017. It's not like Wentz is playing poorly - this was even after coming back from a torn ACL.

The dude has what it takes to be one of the best in the league - whether injuries rob him of that, we'll have to wait and see.

I’m not making up anything. Dak outplayed Goff by a large margin: 83.6 QBR vs 56.5. Here is the box score in case you missed it.

I don't care who has the higher ceiling. The Eagles can go flip themselves! My most compelling concern is if Cowboys succeed or not.

 

[GMO415]

So long Wentz

 

[mattjames2010]

I couldn't care less who has the higher ceiling. The Eagles can go flip themselves! My most compelling concern is if Cowboys succeed or not.

Well, we have to face them twice a year.

Goff has his HC reading his defense for him.

 

[Bullflop]

Well, we have to face them twice a year.

In full view of such a consideration, may the best team win.

If they're able to defeat us, more power to 'em!
To the victor goes the spoils!
