Dak & Wentz are not on same level

erod · May 16, 2019

Steve Buerlein could have made $50 million a year in this league.

Wow, they will dump money on anybody at that position.

northerncowboynation · May 16, 2019

Can I see an eye roll... anybody... Ok it's on me

northerncowboynation · May 16, 2019

Wow you hit the daily double on that one Woodsy, Dak and JJ hate. Good job

Yobwocs · May 16, 2019

Man, what's with the Eagles fans on this board.

ItzKelz · May 16, 2019

Can Wentz please play a full season before mentioning him in the same breathe as Dak!!!???

Sandyf · May 16, 2019

Sorry dude, Dak has already been to one Pro Bowl. And much to your probable dismay Dak will get $30 mil a year and Wentz if he can stay healthy a whole year might get the same. Like Dak or not, he is going to be the Cowboy QB this year and probably several years to come.

Section446 · May 16, 2019

When healthy, he's definitely the better player, but he has to prove he can stay healthy. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving either $30 million a year at this point... Wentz for health reasons, Dak for a multitude of reasons.

TWOK11 · May 16, 2019

Which hasn’t translated into better numbers, more wins or more clutch moments.

Weird

MojaveJT · May 16, 2019

I’d rather pay 30mil to a QB that can play a whole season. Let Philly go ahead and pay Wentz that much and he gets injured again. 30mil for a benchwarmer.

As much as I criticize Dak, at least he’s reliable. He needs to improve on things but who doesn’t?

I like Wentz but every year since he’s been in the NFL, he’s had some sort of issue. Not good.

You can tell the fools who only look at physicals. Nevermind the the intangibles

Wentz - If Wentz was able to stay healthy and if he produced like he did prior to getting hurt in 2017 then his salary would be much higher than $30 million a year. Right now his contract demands would have to be lowered from the $35 million a year that Wilson received because he only performed at an MVP level for 12 games in 2017 and due to his injury history.

Dak - Dallas would probably like to pay Dak around $25 million a year. However, how he performed in 2016 and the last half of 2018 has raised his stock. His rise in stock based on 2016 and the end of last year plus the current inflation of QB salaries puts his asking price around $30 million. Plus, I think the front office sees that Dak has not tapped out his potential or hit his ceiling. He is still a young player that is growing and learning under a lot of pressure.

Also, you do know that Wentz is still not practicing? This stress fracture in his back took him out of action over 5 months ago. Also, when he was in the lineup for the Eagles last year he was 5-6 as a starter. Nick Foles had to come in and salvage their season. There is no doubt in my mind that the Eagles' miss the playoffs if Wentz remained their starter last year.

Irvin88_4life · May 16, 2019

Arm strength maybe.

Accuracy.....Dak is better. Completion percentage and ypa shows Dak being better. Have you even watched Wentz play or just highlights.

QuincyCarterEra · May 16, 2019

So you're full admitting to the public you don't understand football?

Interesting strategy cotton.

jujoboys · May 16, 2019

Btw, you are right. They are not on the same level. One of the QBs is 23-17 (57.5%) as a starter with no snaps in the post-season and the other QB is 32-16 (66.7%) as a starter with 3 playoff starts under his belt. One QB only cost a 4th round comp pick while the other one cost his team two 1st round picks, one 2nd round pick, and a 3rd round pick (4th round picks were exchanged between the 2).

Roadtrip635 · May 16, 2019

Wince will be just fine, it was just a back injury and everybody knows that back injuries aren't a big deal. They always fully heal and never cause problems and it was a total coincidence that it's his second back injury.

QuincyCarterEra · May 16, 2019

You're saying he has the upside of having better accuracy, correct? Not that he has shown better accuracy.

Because I won't argue that.

He just hasn't done it yet, and might never.

Stash · May 16, 2019

And yet - inexplicably for some - Dak's career numbers are all better than Wentz?

Quite the conundrum!

Whirlwin · May 16, 2019

Both Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz have been on the job training. The guy who's come through the winner clearly is Prescott. Carson Wentz is still playing injury scared before he can even begin thinking about reading a defense. Where ask Dak Prescott is no longer playing scared because his instincts have finally taken over it showed during the last few games of last season. More fourth-quarter wins than any other team. More Prime Time wins. That shows clutch. When the world is watching. From the first snap and to the last snap everything in between is called football I care what you do most when the game is on the line. And that's where Prescott has shown you can handle the pressure

CouchCoach · May 16, 2019

Can't compare QB's and salaries because that doesn't matter. No one wants to pay a QB 30-35M when 20 was the tops just a few years ago but it is what each has to do to have their QB1. It's not about elite or Tiered QB's but the going rate to have your guy.

If the Cowboys do not pay him 30M, would there be another team(s) that would? With the QB situation in the NFL, I think there would be multiple suitors and maybe more than 30M, if a bidding war was to happen.

If a team thinks they have their guy, they have little choice but to pay what the market demands. And if they don't, what's the alternative? Team selected QB's in the 2018 draft and only one looks like he might be the real deal. And yes, there is that 3 year rule but in today's NFL, the clock is ticking on the coaching staff. AZ trades a 1st round QB after one year to a team that said they could easily be in the market in 2020 for a QB. BUF and NYJ don't know if they have their QB from that draft. And not one of these teams taking QB's that they are dependent on in 2019 really knows what they've got.

The Cowboys know what they've got. He may not be Tier 1 but with the right team, he can get this done and they know that. If he can get them to the Big Dance, who cares about how much he's paid? Dak is not the guy of some posters here, don't know who their guy is and if I had the choice of him or a Tier 1 QB, he wouldn't be my guy but that doesn't exist. Dak is their guy, therefore he's my guy just like Romo was and I will do my best to accentuate the positives of his game while not ignoring the negatives but railing against the inevitable accomplishes nothing.

Whirlwin · May 16, 2019

Dak Prescott what he needs the most work on in my opinion. It's the intermediate throw over the linebacker before the corner. But most think it's dinkin dunk LMAO. can't throw the Deep ball amazes me how people repeat what they think they hear or no.

Dak & Wentz are not on same level
