The same thing was said about Goff and I will respond in kind. As long as the ball gets to where it's supposed to be on time, I'm not worried about perfect, tight spirals.

Wentz plays in a multi-offense and lines up both from under center and in the spread. The passing game has some sophistication to it and it requires the quarterback to go through a progression and has some whole field reads.
Unlike many of the college spread offenses we see, the North Dakota State offense doesn’t have the quarterback make a high number of short throws at or around the line of scrimmage. This offense has the quarterback throwing the ball downfield. It is far more similar to a pro offense than many of the spreads we see quarterbacks running.
As a passer, Wentz shows he can set up quickly, go through a progression and get the ball out of his hands quickly. He has a very quick release and a strong arm. For the most part, he throws a tight ball with very good velocity. He is accurate and shows good ball placement skills. He seldom turns the ball over, and in four games this year, he has yet to throw an interception.
He is required to make a variety of throws and shows he can make any NFL type throw. He has good timing with his throw and shows he can throw with touch or drive the ball if necessary. He can easily make throws of 50+ yards with accuracy.
Wentz is a quick thinker and processes things quickly. He is a very good decision maker and you don’t see him force throws. He also has a good feel for pass rushers and has the quick feet to avoid a pass rusher and extend the play. He does an excellent job throwing on the run with accuracy.

I have seen several passes that were spirals and also shows a lot of zip on his passes. No not concerned with his ability as a passer

Recievers like catchable passes. The object isn't to throw it AT the WR. That's part of what makes romo so good

You are giving your opinion and I am giving mine I don't see him throwing a lot of ducks, Wentz has had no issue with timing passes he ran quite a bit of that in college.

Akili smith had no problem throwing in college too

Nor did Peyton or Troy so what is the point? I get it you are not a fan of the pick that is your view others do not agree with it. You started this thread asking a question I'm sorry if I am not going along with your assesment
