Everyone can make excuses. Dak could have plenty (brand new awful receiving corps, OL injuries, no TE), but has anyone given Dak a free pass?
Didn’t think so. And he doesn’t need one because he’s in 1st place with numbers right on par with Wentz’s.
Adams has been a nice find but they were hell-bent on letting Wentz pass 35+ times per game regardless. That’s their choice; it doesn’t mean that they COULDN’T run the ball. So when you say “nonexistent run game”, that implies that they wanted to run the ball and couldn’t. That was never the case.
Adams has also been dealing with nagging injuries weekly it seems. The whole team has been decimated this year . Oline has had its share , RBs so bad they had to sign guys off street . WRs had a bunch including losing Hollins and Wallace for year . You add Wentz ACL/MCL he has done pretty dam good. YOu also cant compare Watson to Wentz as Watson had more time to recover and a offseason. Then you add in The Defense which is very ignored . Eagles best depth was D line and that has had injuries all over but looked over because of depth and the fact that the secondary got to point where no names were starting . Same with Saftey besides Jenkins.
Its hard to compare players when there is so many different variables. I dont get the hate Dak gets here ... Guy has shown he can play just fine . No he is not Wentz , Goff , Luck ect ect . He is a guy that plays well enough to win it all though. Now the other thing brought up with both players ... They also are not ones calling the plays and making the big decisions that cost games . Like throwing the ball too much , not running going for it at the wrong time. Both teams have put together some great players . Should be some great games for the next few years as Eagles and Cowboys look to controll the NFCE ... as of right now Giants and Redksins seem to be in trouble
