Philly Enquirer: What if Wentz had Prescott's supporting cast?

[Proximo]

from the Philly Enquirer:

"Prescott is certainly a nice find for the Cowboys as a fourth-round pick. But having such a strong supporting cast really helps him. One could only imagine if Wentz was in the same position. It’s not hard to imagine he’d be having even more success than Dak has had."



Typical Philthy...

Key word = IMAGINE

But, I guess that's not surprising coming from Philly. When your most successful sports hero is a fictional character and your team never actually wins anything in reality, I suppose one would resort to imagining better things.

You can find an upgrade in running back in the non first though. Carson does seem like an accurate thrower so finding quick guys who can create space should also be available in the non first. Although if they want to maximize Carson's upside, they really need to upgrade WR and RB.

Thank you Chip Kelly for getting rid of their weapons.

Jackson, Maclin and McCoy. Quite the change from then and now.

Maybe they should draft better and stop bleeding picks away

 

[percyhoward]

After years of having the better QB but the worse team, it's good to see other teams' fans complaining about the same thing -- whether they're right is another matter.

I've been waiting a long time for this.

Wentz plays on an extremely talented team with a phenomenal defense.

I ask, what if Dak had one of the best defenses in football?

But there is a difference in having a Dez, Witten, Zeke and that offensive line. I think passing-wise, Wentz would do just as well - maybe even better as I feel his accuracy is better. But Dak is better at scrambling. He gives you more with his feet and more diversity with the read option.

But, again, we don't have Wentz. We have Dak. So I'm not going to obsess over what ifs.

 

[reddyuta]

Carson looks really good. I would really like to see him throw the ball more down the field but that may be his lack of weapons or the system....not sure though.

The Philly rebuild plan is much further along than we all thought to start the season. Sproles is a weapon but he is not a full time starter at running back for a full season. The Wide receivers and tight ends do not get much separation. Upgrading the WR and RB is going to be very important over the next few years. Offensive line too considering their left tackle is probably leaving his peak and Lane Johnson is one test away from a long suspension.

i would hate it if they Get Dalvin Cook or Fournette next year,it will take the pressure of Wentz.

Just take the comment and laugh.

They are admitting Dallas is a more talented team which you makes then even more pissed off! They got out coached and out played by a team with better talent. Even though they will not admit it in those exact words, that is exactly what they are saying. They are a bitter fanbase and need to use qualifiers for everything that is wrong in their life and the only reason something happened to them is because of this or that.

Wendy's is a small-school guy. Dak started in a major program for years. There's no reason to think they should be at the exact same point in their development curve. Wentz may have a significantly higher ceiling: wouldn't surprise me if that turns out to be the case. But right now, Dak's a little further along (although last night reminded me that poor accuracy was always the biggest knock on Dak: I really hope he gets it back together in that department).

Yeah and for drafting Algohlar. Maybe he turns out to be decent but certainly appears to be a miss. I haven't gone through PHilly's draft under Kelly but he appears to have missed a lot. My concern a few years ago was he would be able to identify the college players. It appears the opposite was true.

 

[Kevinicus]

Wentz should be on the bench. The guy hasn't found a tight end all season. They are blaming his receivers for dropping passing and ignoring the fact that Wentz doesn't throw a catchable ball. He fires 100mph fastballs from 4 yards away to a receiver who has a DB bearing down on him. He has shown no touch on the ball, no ability to read downfield. Wentz needs to sit down for a while. You know his receivers are getting sick of him throwing fast balls at their feet.

Wentz in Dallas this year would not be a gold thing. Dak buys time to find guys and throws them catchable balls. Wentz fires the ball out of target and the receivers are taking the fall for this.

We don't see the same things.

 

[chicago JK]

i would hate it if they Get Dalvin Cook or Fournette next year,it will take the pressure of Wentz.

I would hope to God they are no way near being able to draft Fournette. Although there appears to be a lot of backs who would be instant upgrades....maybe even in the middle rounds.

 

[Carson]

So the little old 4-12 team from last year who was predicted to finish last in the east, somehow becomes an NFL juggernaut lol

 

[tyke1doe]

Really? Nearly every great accomplishment in the history of the world has been preceded by "what if" or some facsimile there of. Maybe the point of the comparison is for their writer to make the point that Carson needs a better supporting cast? And that is a correct POV in my book cuz he does.

It's different applying the "what if" scenario to matters in your control vs. matters not in your control.

For example, Edison applied the "what if" scenario when he was trying to invent the light bulb. He had all the elements available, and with his determination, he succeeded.

But with people, it's different. You can't "control" the situation once Wentz becomes a Eagle. So considering "what if" in that situation is futile.

You see what I'm saying?

P.S., I agree with you that Wentz needs a better supporting cast. I think he would be even better if he had Dak's tools.

Agreed.

Wentz plays on an extremely talented team with a phenomenal defense.

I ask, what if Dak had one of the best defenses in football?

What if.......Dak only had to throw it under three yards the majority of the time and his defense was and special teams were able to score a ton and turn the ball over?

 

[ShiningStar]

was Philly saying this after the minnesota win?

 

[Direwolf63]

The Eagles may be a year away from throwing the ball down the field but when they do, Wentz is going to be very hard to stop.

Their offense runs the way it does because:

1. Wentz is a rookie and Peterson is protecting him and
2. They don't have any receivers who can get down the field

I'm sure the Eagles will be working on this starting this coming offseason.

What if I were rich and not so damn old.

Yeah, and what if I looked like Brad Pitt? haha

 

[DC Cowboy]

Wentz plays on an extremely talented team with a phenomenal defense.

I ask, what if Dak had one of the best defenses in football?

now that is an interesting spin on it. I think if Dak or Romo had that Defense we would be unstoppable.

 

[RS12]

Uh, has there ever been an offensive skill player that didnt benefit from a strong O Line? The O Line was really the foundation for the 90's triplets. I know all sites need content nowadays but this a water is wet statement.
