I'll never get the well wishes for him. Y'all want him to succeed WHY?????
I ask myself the same question. I can only assume their reasoning boils down to a ‘child-like crush’ for Wentz. Even though, Dak has been more than anyone could have imagine ever since he step on the field. He should be revered for his play and fortitude, which btw, Wentz severely lacks.
I don’t hate Wentz, as a matter of fact I liked Wentz coming out of the draft, yet realized there was absolutely zero chance Dallas would draft him. (Of course, Dallas drafted both Zeke and Dak that year ..both had huge positive impacts on the team.) That said, the moment Wentz became a filthy Eagle..I was done with him.
In his defense, Wentz has played well at times during the regular season. Although, this “SB Champ” has done absolutely NOTHING in the playoffs. I’d be remised to not point out that folks frowned on Romo for being a regular season MVP also.. but atleast Romo played and won some playoff games!
In Contrast.. Dak has steadily improved and been on an upward trajectory at probably the most stressful position in the NFL as the Dallas Cowboys QB.
In 2016, Dak’s rookie season, at the ripe age of 23yo, the co-ROY went toe-to-toe against a future HOF in Aaron Rodgers. Obviously our Boys ultimately lost bc our defense could not stop Rodgers. Not to mention Rodgers got the “Lebron treatment” with the help of questionable “No Calls” from the Refs. Dak’s run in for a 2pt conversation and nearly ‘come from behind’ performance is the only reason Dallas had a chance in that game.
And again in 2018.. Dak didn’t have his best game, but showed poise to beat a seasoned Seattle defense and best another future HOF QB in Russell Wilson to win his first playoff game. The following week, even though Dak put up solid stats, our Boys played poorly and were crushed by the Rams. Later it was revealed that the Rams knew what plays were being called via positional ques, which falls solely on the incompetence of coaches.
Bottomline, football is still a team sport. Dak has been nothing but a true professional, his character is gold, and he’s trending to be even better. That said.. Dak should be revered by Cowboy fans, exp the “Wentz loving” so-called Cowboy fans that attempt to compare the two. He’s earned that much.
