Pretty much everyone saying Wentz is better or more athletic or has more tools is just reading pre-draft measurables and profiles. And some of the things mentioned in scouting reports may still apply, but read pre-draft stuff on Prescott and tell me how much of that you see.
"Beat up this year thanks to poor protection. When he wasn't being sacked, he was being hit hard. Not as competitive a rusher in 2015. Sacks and usage in run game might be taking a toll. Increase in short pass attempts from 86 to 208 this year reason for higher completion numbers. Accuracy on intermediate and deep throws dropped sharply. Pocket poise has been compromised. Hyper aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw. Concern over pressure too often trumps ability to get through progressions. Must speed up the pace of his reads. Footwork is a mess. Slight stride onto stiff upper leg with little weight shift. Restricted follow through and too often tries to muscle throws with upper body. Throws to target rather than leading or throwing them open on short/intermediate throws. Too respectful of underneath coverage and must be more willing to challenge the defense. Needs to improve anticipation."
I mean, as far as I'm concerned, he's done an incredible job fixing pretty much all of those things. In the next paragraph, they questioned his POISE. If there's one glaringly strong aspect of Prescott's game right now, his poise might be it. Or his pocket presence and awareness, which was also questioned. I'm not seeing those weaknesses this year, and I'm sure part of it is the great talent around him, but even in the face of pressure he steps up and delivers throws. And poise is poise no matter who's around you; he's not lacking there.
