So Dak fails, Wentz fails, and eagles backups win 1 Super Bowl in 50 years
That’s fair
FIFY

Doesn’t Wentz already have a Ring?No QB who was traded up for and had a season ending injury has gone on to win anything.
Absolutely, verifiably, every single time without resolve.
I think you left out Nick Foles, lol.

He did lead then to 11-2 season with home field advantage setting up Foles after he went down. I’d certainly consider Wentz as part of that championship season as he was playing at a MVP level.

I mentioned him. Foles did not win on his St. Louis contract, which was the parallel to Dak. Also, his contract was not too 16, thus not cash strapping the Rams like a top 5 contract would in Dallas. But still, didn’t win until he was cut from that deal and became a journeyman with no cap impact, unless that’s the example Dak is going for.
I didn’t say credit but he was a major contributing factor to their success that year.You don't play in the game, you don't get the credit. They would have never won that SB if Wentz doesn't get injured.
All it takes is 1 to break the trend.

You know what they say about the blind squirrel...
Seems like Foles and Brees were both conveniently omitted.
I would agree if the list wasn’t 0-16.
Long, interesting, and irrelevant.
I think he was top 16 in 2015 when he signed his extension with the Rams, though. It was like $14M AAV.
Every single individual stat is cherry picked. Every post, every thread that doesn’t include all combined stats is cherry picked. Without absolutely full context for everything, which is technically impossible, it’s all cherry picking. This board would be vacant without cherry picking.

Because he was cut with little guaranteed money, it puts him out of the top 20. But still, at signing he was around 16th-18th. So unless the thread-breaker is that Dak will bomb out, get cut this time next year, then go win a super bowl with Cincinnati, I think it’s a relevant that Foles is an example of another 0-16 failure for the team that paid him. He defies the ‘potential’ point, true, but Dak probably will too due to what he’s accomplished. But the contract is the key. How did it hurt the team that paid Foles? That paid all these men? You’re already talking about all the guys you need to pay that you can’t keep.
Foles failed the Rams. He succeeded in Philly when the cap hit was negligible. Dak on his rookie deal is your chance.
Not always an indicator. But if a mid-to-late round pick does not ascend immediately, they don’t improve later. All of them. Every one.
