Dak Prescott has higher ceiling than Carson Wentz

[JJHLH1]

According to Greg Jennings, who obviously is very knowledgeable and shows excellent judgement. Dak has already proven he’s a stud. We are fortunate to have him as our QB. We couldn’t ask for a better face for the franchise: great leader, loved by his teammates and coaches, never embarrasses himself, tough as nails, and of course extremely clutch. Get the deal done Jerry.

Dak stays healthy I think that lets him actually hit that ceiling

Wentz seems to be end of career Romo while in his mid-20s he might not even reach his floor!

If Wentz can't stay healthy then he'll be a bust.

Higher ceiling? Maybe not. Better upside though. And more likely to reach it since he can stay on the field.

No doubt in my mind Dak will stay healthy longer. I'm thinking any back injury is problematic, a broken back might lead to many problems...

Skip makes some strong points. Dak had the higher QBR in all 3 playoff games he’s been in - higher than Rodgers, Wilson, and Goff.

Dak also had the highest QBR out of the 12 quarterbacks who were in the playoffs last year. That’s something I didn’t know. Very impressive.

I'll take a lower QBR if it means we advance.

Only those with self serving agendas refuse to admit it. Wince is the opposite of clutch........not to mention he's made of glass.

In terms of QB play overall, I think Wentz has shown he has a higher ceiling as a passer. Dak's legs close the gap somewhat, but I don't expect Dak to be in the conversation for MVP much if at all. That doesn't mean he isn't a quality starter and leader though.

Plus Wentz can't make it through a season and play in the playoffs, so in terms of actual QB play Dak has that big advantage over him.

The way I look at it is this............ Dak has a lower ceiling than Wentz but a higher floor largely due to the fact that Wentz has injury issues.

 

[glimmerman]

We shall see soon. I think they both had a good to great rookie year. After that it’s been injury for him.

Don't think you have to worry about that.

Me too, but if our QB is outplaying the opposing QB that suggests we need to improve the rest of the team. Dak clearly outplayed Goff in the divisional playoff game but unfortunately we gave up 273 yards rushing while rushing for only 50 yards ourselves. It’s amazing it was still only a 1 score game despite getting whipped on both sides of the trenches.

I always wanted Jennings to be a Cowboy.

except that rogers and wilson are known to "carry" the team and have the skins to show that capability. dak has some cool #'s that have not translated into anything noteworthy.

I would argue that playing well during the playoffs is an excellent measure of how good a QB is, since that is when pressure and competition is at its most intense. Obviously Rodgers and Wilson are great QBs since they have both won Super Bowls. That makes the fact that Dak outperformed them in the playoffs even more meaningful. We just need the rest of the team to play as well as Dak and we will be good.

Wentz ceiling is higher than Dak's, just from the basic fundamentals of being a QB. Anyone saying otherwise is crazy. 1 thing is holding Wentz back and that's durability.
