Dak vs. Wentz

[Blue&Silver]

remember the elite NFL level talent surrounding Dak in college? When he got his team to the number one rankings despite ZERO NFL talent on the offensive side of the ball besides himself?

Yes he had a very similar path as Nick Foles. They carried their teams in college. Tim Tebow was a wrecking crew with anyone they put around him on that offense.

 

[Section446]

The eagles literally won a super bowl with Carson’s backup during the entirety of the postseason run.
If any team was built for a super bowl outside of the QB, it was clearly the Eagles.

And this year, we had a team built for a Super Bowl run, even moreso than the Eagles were that year they won it all. This year, the Eagles won because of Wentz.

Vs

1311/2055
14,191 yards
97 TD
35 INT


Strictly just as professional passers, Dak wins.
16 more attempts over four seasons.
1,587 more yards.

When you realize Dak only has 35 more career rushing attempts too, but 18 MORE rushing TD and 17 FEWER fumbles it really puts some distance.


118 TD
36 INT

100 TD

In what world can you honestly prefer the latter?

Different teams. Different offenses. You also have to factor in Prescott has been healthy his entire time in the NFL whereas Wentz has played 8 less games.

If you average that out he'd have another 15 or so touchdowns as a quarterback to his 97.

The statistics Dak has been able to put up are crazy good for where he was drafted. But, you really can't compare the Eagles team Wentz took over compared to the Dallas team Prescott took over. The Eagles were a dumpster fire.

I would have loved to have Wentz as our quarterback, and I would have given up Ezekiel to do so. As much as I like Prescott our teams would be quite different if the situation was reversed. It's indisputable that Wentz has done much more with less than Prescott. I shudder at the thought of what he could do in our offense, behind our line with our running game, and wide receivers now.

Lol

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Nope, if they switched roles, the Eagles would not be in the playoffs right now. Dak can't handle ANYTHING being out of place.

It's amazing. People argued exactly that... The Dak supporters.

Now the argue the exact opposite.

 

[TheHerd]

Dak overthrew a dozen open receivers for the first time in his career, which was clearly on the injury. If that doesn't happen Dallas wins by two scores.

Add in the 6 drops and it's an even

Why do you think he favored TEs and RB check downs?

Go back to week 1 when they had full compliment of receivers.

OH look... DeSean Jackson lead the team in targets and dropped a 8 catch 154 yard 2 TD performance. He was lost shortly thereafter for the season.

He favors TEs because he has Ertz? This is similar to way back when Wit was a great receiver. Everyone complained about our #2, but in reality Wit is our #2. Jackson was a top target because they played the Commanders, who chose to not cover Jackson.

Wentz excels in the dink and dunk - and I'm not one who thinks that's always a bad thing. Brady is largely a dink and dunk QB who has parlayed yac into the goat title. There's a great skill to picking the right check down and hitting them in stride or where only they can catch the pass.

 

[Cydios]

I think Dak said it best when they asked him about missing the Team passing record by 2 yards "If you can't win, you deserve to be second" Carson had speed. Is it me or has Dak slowed down a bit. He used to be pretty fast.

 

[mcmvp]

Jackson was a top target because they played the Commanders, who chose to not cover Jackson.

I’m amazed at some of the comments people utter to make their narrative sound intelligent and accurate.

It doesn’t work...but it’s fun to read them.

2019 Reception yards:

Zach Ertz 916
Dallas Goedert 607
Miles Sanders 509

Jeffrey had 490 in just 10 games
Agholor had 363 in 11 games
Ward had 254 in 7 games

All 3 WR's projected stats over 16 games in in excess of 500 yards.

Wince is the king of check down throws. Everyone knows that. Look at the TE's and #1 RB yards. Ertz has been hurt or his numbers would be higher. Check this out...

Yards per attempt:

Dak 8.2
Wince 6.7

I like Sapp but this is a dumb tweet. He "lost" Zach Ertz for one game - against the Giants.

Yeah you're missing the forest for the trees.

 

[GMO415]

How many playoff wins does Went have? Yeah, Dak's better.

 

[Bleu Star]

I know earlier in the season a lot of people were talking trash about Wentz and about how bad he looked. I include myself in that category because early in the season he did look bad. But look at him now. He threw for 4000 yards but not a single receiver on the Eagles team had more than 500. That is a pretty amazing stat. In his last few games Wentz was making his no name receivers look pretty good. The Eagles were running practice squad guys out there at RB, WR, and TE and Wentz was putting up a lot of yards and points.

Give credit where credit it due. The Eagles seem to come through when the chips are down while the Cowboys fold. Wentz is one of those guys who proved he can put a team on his shoulders and win games. That's what we need out of Dak instead of that miserable performance against the Eagles.

Wince

 

[Kaiser]

Yeah you're missing the forest for the trees.

There are two ways to say that:

Sapp says Wentz got 4000 yards and along the way lost his WR1, WR2, WR3, TE, RB1 and RB2.

I could say Wentz finished 9th in passing yardage even though his 3 WRs missed 25 games, his TE missed 1 and two of his RBs missed 22 games.

The Eagles had more injuries than most but the only guys who missed more than half the season were Corey Clement and a 33 year old Desean Jackson who wasn't on their team last year and is four years removed from his last 1000 yard season. Its not like Wentz was playing with his practice squad for the entire year.

 

[Aviano90]

If Dak sucks then Wentz is the below that, whatever that might be.

 

[Truthseeker]

That's a great point on the "no WRs over 500 yards". He might have had the best TE group in the NFL and had plenty of WR talent even if it wasn't the same guy.

Also Gallup missed three games and Cooper played through injury for half the season. Its not like every other team was 100% healthy.

Plenty of wr talent? Are you trying to convince yourself of that to make wentz not look as good as dak?

oh wow 3 games Gallup. Try algolor had twice that and more. So did Jeffrey, what about DeSean missing 15 weeks??

some dak fanatic earlier said had wrs not dropped catches from dak, he would have had 6000 yards. If algolor and then goedert caught two catches, eagles are 11-5(falcons and lions game)

hopefully your enthusiasm for a 4th round game manager holds true when he’s holding a clipboard for a team in 2 years .

 

[Truthseeker]

We averaged 33 points against the East. Plus we didn't get to play against our defense.

Which is also why I'm not really sold on the greatness of the Eagles final 4 game miracle finish. Those are 4 pretty embarrassing defenses the Eagles best up on.

And who cares about WR talent on the Eagles. Wentz favors TEs and RBs as check down targets. I contend the Eagles are built to gene **** WRs.

Yes you don’t know the game. What did Jackson do his first game ever with wentz? Don’t know? 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. Had he had stayed healthy along with Jackson, talks of firing garret would have happened a month ago

 

[black label]

Wentz showed up and wacky dacky showed up

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah you're missing the forest for the trees.

He’s doing the best he can with what he’s got!
