Revisting the Wentz vs Dak debate

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I would think the only fans that should even be having this debate are Brown fans, after all, they gave up the number 2 pick and bypassed Wentz, we never had the chance to draft him. And I just know if Jerry had made the move from 4th to 2nd and gave up multiple picks to make such a move, he'd get roasted...

I think the debate comes from the fact that Wentz is an Eagle (if he was a Texans pick for example we would care less), and I'm sure most Cowboys fans got sick of hearing about great Wentz was after week 3, when Dak had been shining since pre-season

Wentz was valedictorian of his high school, and basically a 4.0 student at North Dakota State. Intelligence and a high IQ is not his problem.

Wentz is bright, but as a graduate of the same HS Dak came from, and having been one of the better HS students from my era, I can say the average student from Haughton HS is a half a year to two years
behind the elite schools in Louisiana (Benjamin Franklin down in Nyawlins is/was awesome good. Don't know if it survived Katrina). But in 5 years in a good school Dak ended up with a master's degree.

I don't see people talking about Carson Wentz's masters. Wonderlics be damned, Dak made very efficient use of his study time.

That's item one. Item two is that so-called superior athleticism of Wentz. By what measures? Maybe he is bigger. Maybe he is stronger. Maybe he throws the ball 177 yards with his thumb. But Wentz runs like a duck, and I'd hate watching him try to do what Russell Wilson does.

Revisiting? Seems like we've been here all season!

I hear his name is now Carson wINTz since passes over 20 yards seem to go to the other team.

Wentz has no running game and their oline is not comparable to ours.

It really is not a fair comparison at this point

And his receivers can't catch the ball.

His 1 yard passes to Sproles and the receivers is their running game

Hey, it's a team sport. Not Daks fault that Jerry is such a great GM and surrounded him with talent. Lol

 

[Big D]

Wentz = Weeden. BIg arm, can make all the throws , prototypical size, blah blah. Sam Bradford got better results with the cast Wentz is working with.

Wentz looks like Matt Ryan 2.0

Wentz looks like Matt Ryan 2.0

Not the same skill set at all.

Wentz has amazing arm talent, size, and athleticism.

Matt Ryan is your classical NFL pocket passer.

I dont think Dak is going to become less smart or less talented as he grows into the position. Hes better then Carson now and will be 5 years from now and 10 years from now. The difference may be Dak is still playing for the Cowboys in 10 years guaranteed. Carson could well be in NY (Jets) or Buffalo or Cleveland or out of football all together in 10 years.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

His entire 195 yards passing in that game was a thing of beauty.

Your smugness has a way of detracting from the logic in your posts.

 

[CATCH17]

Like come on...

I can understand liking Dak better but to deny this guys upside is just ridiculous.

Also, they're getting worse at an alarming rate.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

You're missing the point man. So far, in actual NFL action, Dak has proven to be better in every aspect of the game. He has been more accurate, SHOWN infinitely more athleticism, and his passes average far longer than Wentz's.

The Wentz gym short measurables and could-be's are completely irrelevant now that both players have started, in actual league action, for almost a season now.

Checkmate.

This is all that needs to be said and can't be disputed at this point in their careers. Wentz is doing fine as a rookie but Dak is "The Daddy" in that comparison.

Honestly, Kessler is closer in comparison to Wentz right now, and he actually has a "crap team" around him compared to what the Wentzmaniacs often apply to the Eagles roster.

2.0 bruh

Ummm. That highlight reel was exactly 8 plays, some of them fairly standard over the course of an entire game.

Nobody would dispute his physical abilities. His issues are with mechanics and with knowing where to go with the football. If he gets it down, he's going to be an amazing player.

But the mental part of the game is the tougher part of the game. Wentz has to demonstrate he can do it, whereas Dak's basically answered those questions already.

 

[mrmojo]

The kids going to be good it will take some time....look forward to the battles with Dak in the future.....gonna be fun!

Where in any of what I wrote did I say any of this?

You mentioned his intellect. You want to take it back now?
