Lol "got cold", now that's a clever excuse. Dallas is fielding a green back 4 and a patchwork LB core and Wentz couldn't manage a buck 75. Dak had nearly as many yards against the Eagles top 5 pass D.
Yeah because passing yards are always a sign of the quality of QB play. Again, you didn't watch the game, and consequently, don't have a valid position on analyzing it.
One game doesn't capture either player was my point, but you're acting like Wentz is playing in another stratosphere because of the scoreboard. There are coaches and 23 other starting players that have to do their jobs as well.
It's not based on one game. I've watched 7 Cowboys games this year, plus a ton last year and I've seen every game of Wentz's career.
I don't see anything elite about Prescott. I think he is a solid game manager who is above average out of the pocket. When the run game is going and the box is stacked, he's smart enough to be able to pick defenses apart. That's fine and might even be enough to get the Cowboys a Super Bowl with the right pieces around him. That said, take away a few pieces, and he doesn't appear to have the capacity to lift his team.
Wentz, on the other hand, IS playing on another stratosphere. He makes plays from nothing, is a dual threat, has a great deep ball, and knows how to manage the game pre-snap. Physically, he moves like no 6-5 QB I've ever seen. Does he have flaws? Absolutely. He has improved his mechanics and accuracy, but still has a way to go there. At times he still holds the ball too long. I think the first issue is solvable. The second, I think will be a career issue and is a byproduct of his ability to make something from nothing. Fans will learn to live with it, since it works out more often then it doesn't. That said, all of this is from a player who is 1.5 years removed from playing at North Dakota State. He's an MVP candidate and he hasn't even hit his ceiling yet. That should put dread in the hearts of NFC East fans. (For the record, I feel the same way about Deshaun Watson. The kid is special. Barring (more) injuries, I expect Wentz and Watson will be elite QBs for some time to come).
did you guys enjoy Peterman starting as much as the citizens of Buffalo did? Jesus christ
I'm rooting for McDermott since he's a former Eagles guy, but that was an atrocious decision. In the middle of a playoff race for a team that hasn't made the playoffs in ages? It's the kind of move that can lose a locker.
