A total package of crap. He looks the part. However, playing QB in the league is more than looking the part. Chad Hutchinson looked the part. His pocket awareness needs a lot of work. His throwing mechanics are terrible. His accuracy is terrible. Carr had great footwork coming out of college and great touch on the ball. Carr also had great leadership skills. Philly will eat Wenz alive by game 3 next season.


He's completing 63% of his passes and has thrown 11 picks on the year.

He's a rookie and I don't know what kind of scale you are grading him on compared to other rookies but it's a bit ridiculous.

Carson Wentz has looked the part at times and that is what you want from a rookie QB. Show you can do it and he's already done that.

Next year will be about building consistency.

He jumped to the first round for good reason. He has every tool in the box that you're looking for with a QB. He'll get it figured out.

Will he ever be as good as Dak? I don't know and I wouldn't bet on it.

Would I still take him over Jared Goff or Paxton Lynch? Easily.

The guy is 6'6, mobile, rocket arm, smart, and a extremely hard worker. He is not going to bust. At worst he is a solid NFL QB.

He went from Div. 1 aa to the NFL and he's been extremely hot and extremely cold. Just a typical rookie year.
I agree with everything you said here.

But there are one or two beloved Cowboy fans here that believe Wentz will actually be better than Dak. I laugh every single time I read that.

Reset this year's draft and do it now. Dak goes #1 without an ounce of doubt.

He could be.. I wouldn't bet on it but he sure as heck could be.

Has there ever been a rookie that's played as poorly as Wentz and still have troves of people relentlessly kiss his butt? I've never seen anything like this.

Nahhh. Dak & Checkz are at the very same level in terms of time in the league and Dak has started so much further ahead. He's only going to get better (just like Checkz). Checkz will never catch Rayne.

I love Dak and wouldn't trade him for anyone in that draft, but let's wait another year or two before deciding if Wentz is garbage or not.

Dak played high level SEC football and walked into the best situation in the NFL for a rookie.

If you don't take that into consideration than you're not being fair.



Knowing what we know now I think Dak goes #1 in the draft but there are still some NFL guys that i'm sure would take Wentz over him.

They are certainly playing in different situations. There is no doubt about that. But at the end of the day, Wentz has been terrible this season, yet people still obsess and gush over him based on little more than hypothetical could-be's.

Dreadful for what? A 5 year vet?



People slobber over Kirk Cousins on this board for some reason and he had some awful moments before this year.

If you think Wentz isn't going to be better than Cousins than you're kidding yourself.

First there was Ty "stealing money" Detmer.

Then there was Bobby "where am I" Hoying.

Then there was AJ "1 game HOFer" Feeley

Then there was Kevin "corn" Kolb.

Then there was Nick "fooles gold" Foles

And now Carson "i need wide receivers waaaah" Wentz

The only thing different among the mighty men in this list is that the hype grows with each franchise savior, and their ultimate failures are cherished more and more by me, Maxdallasfan. For I have correctly predicted the defeat of each one of these Gods, much like Theophilus predicted the fall of Rome.

I know Cowboys fans are giddy over Dak and rightly so. But Wentz is a good quarterback too and will be a thorn in the side of Dallas for years to come.

Disagree. It's pretty normal.
Look, however you want to slice it, he has not played well for most of this season. And my point is I don't get the gushing over him at this current point. He may end up being a great QB, who knows, but based on this season alone, I don't get where the constant love affair is still coming from.

No, he wouldn't. Wentz would still go No. 1. Dak would go No. 2. The last article I read on this still had GMs taking Wentz first.

Well if you like to draw conclusions about a QB's future based on their rookie year than there wouldn't be many good ones.

He's having a typical Rookie year.
That's very true, but again, my point is I don't understand what the continued gushing is based on since he has been terrible for most of the season. I can understand taking a more wait and see approach, but he is still largely hailed as an amazing rookie QB. I'm not saying he should be given up on or that he won't be good, I just don't get the continued love affair.
