Is Dak on Wentz level or bus driver?

[Idgit]

We already know the answer to that question, but the next 6 weeks will at least remove that talking point from the debate.

We've seen Dak be successful already on drives where Zeke is not in the game. I don't know why people are curious what it's going to look like. It's going to look the same except there will be some missed pick ups in the passing game and we'll have to do things differently in short yardage and we'll have fewer big plays from the RBs and will have to replace them with big passing plays or with Dak running himself.

Wentz has even MORE weapons than Dak IMO

What level is Wentz on?

According to some, he is on the same level as Moses.

The narrative will quickly flip to the OL and any RB and QB can succeed with them, even there's two new starters, one in a brand new position.
It's easy to call what happens next when most people are simple.

The disrespect shown to this man from his own fan base amazes me. Luckily it’s only Internet forum cowboy fans that act so clueless about Dak

Other than that...we’ll be fine.

I think Dak is in the perfect situation and environment, has a great offensive line, strong running game, good tightend and good receiving core...Between the two QB's, I think Wentz has more talent and higher ceiling.... Dak is mature and understands about controlling the clock and not turning over the ball......if you placed both Qb's on a team like Cleveland, I think Wentz would do a little better....both are very good young quarterbacks but getting your long term starter with a compensatory pick in the fourth round is a major bonus!

Dak can look off safeties and throw receivers open, not to mention the small things you can't teach (throwing ball at feet to save a tackle for loss or sack, not defaulting to running away when the main read is covered). Wentz still has a nasty habit of staring receivers down which may be picked up on soon enough if he doesn't stop, and he will run out of pocket if main target isn't open. Wentz definitely has a better arm and very fluid in pocket, but lets not act like he's acheived anything Dak hasn't.

Of course. Only recently has Zeke gotten his props because before it was all oline. Then when Dak gets compared to other qbs it’s (well if our qb had Zeke). The goalposts will always move with #4

We find out over next 6 weeks. I know the loss of Zeke hurts but it allows Cowboys to truly know what they have at QB & even Rod Smith. It also puts some responsibility on WRs who I think have gone silent for long stretches. Alot of answers coming.

Dak is Roger Staubach to Wentz as Ron Jaworski.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Wentz is a night/day different QB than he was last year. He was Captain Checkdown and raining down 4-yard bombs in 2016.

 

[Hardline]

Why can it be asked if Wentz is on Dak's level?

 

[Idgit]

Other than that...we’ll be fine.

It's not going to be the end of the world. We'll QB sneak 3rd and 1s if Morris can't get them. We'll go with more empty sets in the passing game since we won't be replacing all of Elliott's carries with running plays, so we'll see getting Switzer, Butler and the TE2s involved. And, yeah, Dak will get sacked a couple more times, or we'll have to run more designed rollouts since Zeke is so damn good in pass protection. We'll still be effective offensively. As long as the defensive turnaround is not a mirage, we'll be more than fine. Might not catch PHI for the NFCE without Zeke next week, but we'll still be in contention for a WC.

And then we'll get him back and the team will be fortified and all sorts of pissed off for a road playoff run.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Our running game loses some dynamism but will be fine.

My fantasy teams on the other hand....

 

[BourbonBalz]

Last year alone Dak won 13 games. Wentz not so much.

 

[reddyuta]

WTH? is with this thread? Wentz now has better RBs,Better TEs and way better WRs to work with with,plus he has a legit Defense which allows him to take more chances.

Well we’re about to find out.

I foresee teams blitzing a lot more than they typically would without Zeke back there. And let’s face it, more than anything else, Zeke moved the chains. As simple as that sounds we had some long, time consuming drives with him. So to your point, we will have to have some more big plays in the passing game. I do think TWIII will be a focal point for this offense going forward.

Wentz has better receivers (guys with great speed, good route running ability, and good hands) and a very qb friendly offensive scheme.....Dak has to continually make plays to overcome the shortcomings of his wide receivers (lack of speed, and route running, uncreative offensive scheme) on a weekly basis.

 

[Dale]

What if Smith, McFadden and Morris combine to run for 145 yards?

Does that mean Dak is a bus driver but that Zeke is overrated?

My head hurts... lol

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Stop it with the Wentz threads everyone!

So tired of hearing his name on here.

Same here. Wentz did this become the Iggles board? Wentz did we start caring about the Iggles QB? Wentz will it all end?
