Dak and Zeke no respect. Wentz rookie of the week again?

[superonyx]

Carson Wentz was named NFL offensive rookie of the week again for his last weeks performance.
You know the game where he threw an awful interception to cost his team the game with 2 minutes left against a bad Lions team.

Wentz had a QB rating of 102.8 QBR 60.9
Dak has a QB rating of 117.9 QBR 87
Zeke had 15 for 134 for 8.9YPC

Wentz has won the award 3 times in 4 weeks.
This reminds me of the 2014 season when Romo and Demarco were passed up for MVP for Rodgers. Or is this an anti Cowboys bias going on here.

They don't want to see the Cowboys succeed. They need the Cowboys to be in turmoil so they can boost ratings by talking about them. When they're good and winning and no controversies they are not a popular sell for ratings IMO.

So QB controversy, and any story (bad) about Dez keeps them in the news and not for the right reasons.

Wow, that is pretty bad. Uh, Wentz lost them the game

 

[theebs]

wow. with a straight face they did this?

 

[Jarv]

It's like kids T-ball where even the losers get a trophy.

Enjoy it, we'll take the win.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Candidly, I don't care. The team is winning.

I couldnt care a whole lot less, but is this voted on? If so, its not surprising that the two cowboys getting votes didnt get enough.

 

[Texas_Pete]

There is major East Coast bias and Cowboy hatred. Off topic: Trey Wingo of ESPN's NFL Live show tried to put the fate of the Cowboys vs Packers game squarely on Dak. He walked towards the camera, spelling out Dak's full government name, saying this game is on him (while pointing his fingers at the camera), as if he was trying to put pressure on him. Why not do that to Wentz? I just shook my head when I saw the end of that segment.

So to see love being shown to Wentz and not Dak is not surprising to me in the least.

There is nothing in sports thats more hilarious than the nfl persecution complex. Every fanbase has it.

Does it have to be persecution complex? Wentz taking the award over Zeke is worse than laughable. At some point you have to assume bias at work.

Dak and Zeke go into the HOF, but some ginger in green keeps being "the best rookie" on a weekly basis. It's pretty obvious there's some bias.

Great. I prefer flying under the radar. It's what happened to the Spurs a lot of times when they won the championships. A lot of years when the media was drooling all over us was when we had disappointing seasons. I want Dak to continue to be looked at as an underdog.

not really, Ryan Matthew's fumble was the difference. Wentz went for it all on that play, and threw an int, but at that point, the odds were stacked against them.

meh, a soulless QB for a soulless fan base...a match made in hell

 

[MRV52]

Who cares, the less attention we get the better. I would rather just smash each opponent in the mouth each week while the media thinks we are pretenders. Awards are useless and wins are what's important.

To their detriment, Cowboys players get far too many accolades and reach stardom far too soon,,,, just for being a Cowboy. I think it may be a problem affecting their ability to work without distraction as well as their desire to win a championship. Being passed over might be a good thing!

 

[pugilist]

only thing that matters are Lombardis, everything else is just noise

Dak and Zeke, keep your eyes on the real prize boys

Ummmmm, this isn't media bias at play here.

The NFL Pepsi Rookie of the Week is based on fan voting. Eagles fans are just flooding the voting.

ROY is based on AP voting, however, and there is a bias

but again, worthless award
