He's playing well. Elite? No.

This week is completely on him. If he doesn't turn it over and plays well, the Cowboys win.

 

[MWH1967]

nah....It's the line.

 

[Ranching]

Not bad for a QB with bad footwork, can't read defenses or throw the long ball. I kid! Go Cowboys!

It is still on the team. OL has to block, RB has to run and WR need to get open and make the plays and yes Dak needs to continue to do his part as well. He does not have to make it a 1 man show.

not to mentioned an oline and RB that does all his heavy lifting!

All that will happen. He needs to just play within himself and protect the football.

This is a terrible matchup for Philadelphia. Their strength will be neutralized by the Cowboys offensive line.

This game comes down solely to the quarterbacks, and I don't think Wentz can throw well into tight coverage. If Dak plays well, the Cowboys win.

I don't follow you. So playing well this game will make him elite?

HA. Wentz didnt even make the top 10.

Philly fans will say, it's because Garrett coached him at the senior bowl.

I think if the Cowboys play well the Cowboys will win. I hope we are past the point of relying on 1 person to win games for the Cowboys. Even when Romo returns just as he did in 2014 he relied on players around him not just trying to win games on his own. I do agree Dak needs to protect the ball but then I would say that about any QB, turnovers are killers.

Risen isn't going to like those rankings. I'm not familiar with the formula being used, but the list doesn't pass the eyeball test of a (non-scout) fan.

 

[Prime21]

Notice Aaron Rodger's and Andy Dalton's worst game.

I hadn't, good eye.

 

[SDCowboy]

The guy has been been amazing. It's hard to believe he's just a rookie.

 

[CVN68_Cowboys]

No, this week isn't completely on him. That's the beauty of a more balanced offense. Football is a team sport, after all.

No game is ever completely on any player.

 

[erod]

No game is ever completely on any player.

What I meant was, the way I see all the matchups playing out, it will come down to which QB takes care of the ball and makes the needed throws. If Zeke fumbles three times, or the secondary collapses, then that changes. I think the team will play the same as it has, so this comes down to Wentz vs. Dak.

Dak's kickin' booty

ESPN's QBr is a crock, but it doesn't matter.
He's doing well all around anyway.
He's 5th in real QB rating...that everyone else uses. And that is pretty awesome anyway.

Sooner or later, Dak is going to have to Romo a few games for us. I don't think this will require that exactly, but if he turns it over, it won't end well.
