How would you rate these attributes (0-100) for Dak and Wentz
IMO, Dak>Wentz
Brady is supposed to have a good arm, but it is in the poise and brains (not saying Dak will become Brady)

Dak potential
Arm: 75 based on exit velocity reports (54mph hitting tight window)
Running: 75
Toughness: 80
Poise: close to 100, considering performance as a rookie
Reading defenses: 80
Decision making: close to 100, considering performance as a rookie
Pocket presence: 80

Wentz potential
Arm: 85 (57mph)
Running: 70
Toughness: 60
Poise: 80
Reading defenses: 80
Decision making: 80
Pocket presence: 70

Brady Now
Arm: 80
Running: 65
Toughness: 75
Poise: 100
Reading defenses: 100
Decision making: 100
Pocket presence: 80

I think Brady is maybe a 20 at running...maybe. Dd never runs, doesn't want to run, and run like a 5.2 forty anyway. lol
Of course, it has zero meaning to his game anyway.

And Dak--who will never be this young again (so maxed running wise)--is still only average in rushing yards as a QB so far this year.
He's about 15th or so among QB and he hasn't had a bye week.
He's strong though. So when he does run it's effective.
One thing Dak is not, is fast. 4.85 forty. That would be okay for QBs though...just not fast.
Maybe a 65-70

All the other stuff--especially decision making or reading defenses--is in the eye of the beholder.

Looks good so far....imo.

But different people have different ideas on how that applies.

Nobody had arm talent like Jeff George amirite? Gotta have physical tools but in the NFL the mind talent matters more.

Wentz would be a lot better with the dallas offense...and Brady probably would too. Im glad they took Dak with what amounts to a 5th but its silly to compare them in a vacuum like this.

It's not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.

Dak said sometime this week, and it may have been the post game that he wants to be the best there ever was.

I sew that as the fight in the dog, personally.
