How Wentz played today reminded me alot of what Aikman used to do back in the day when we were winning big in terms of making plays early to build a lead, then scaling the offense back and letting the run game just salt the game away.
Wentz made play after play in the 1st half as they were building their lead. Several 3rd downs converted with his arm (and a 4th when it was still just 3-0), the passing TD to make it 10-0, the rushing TD to make it 17-0, and the 30 or so yard pass to set up the TD that made it 24-0.
The first INT was not a concern to me, 40 seconds left in the half, up 24-0, other team has no timeouts, 1 on 1 on the outside and he goes for a kill shot heading into the half. The DB made a great play on a 50/50 ball but they were still pinned inside their own 10 with no chance of scoring. If it was a closer game where getting a FG would've been more critical I'd say it was a bad mistake, up 24-0 with such little time left there and it's a good decision I think.
The 2nd INT was definitely a bad decision and in my opinion it's because he has a tendency to lock onto WR's, the DB read it and jumped the route, and it was a horrible play considering the score was 24-7 and it set them up to potentially cut it to 24-14. I've said before though that my main concerns with him are his tendency to stare down WR's and that his feet sometimes get stagnant in the pocket, these are correctable things though, especially with a guy like Romo mentoring.
Other than that he looked great considering he hadn't played in 3 months. You could see the arm strength, the athleticism, the ability to throw on the run and you could see a few times where he adjusted plays/routes at the LOS which is impressive.
Honestly, if the guy performs well during the Senior Bowl and impresses the coaching staff I'd just say fuck it and take him at 4. He will not be there for us in the 2nd and at this point I doubt he even makes it much further than the early 20's, if he has an impressive Senior Bowl he probably goes no lower than somewhere between 10-19.
He has the physical traits and he checks off all of the boxes in terms of intangibles. He's raw but so is Lynch and Goff to a lesser extent, we already know going into it that whoever we take will ideally sit for the vast majority of their first 2-3 years, only coming in for spot duty if something happens to Romo, so to me that isn't even much of a consideration. For a team like the Browns who need a guy to start yesterday, yea, it's a concern, for a team that is able to sit him behind a guy like Romo for 2 years?
Who cares?
