I would really like to see the same graph with Dak. Think it would be interesting to see.

13. Dak Prescott, Cowboys
14. Carson Wentz, Eagles
Wentz and Prescott’s stats are nearly identical, so in order to accurately assess which rookie is playing better we have to look at the manner in which each guy is putting up their numbers. After reviewing and charting every completion Wentz and Prescott have thrown this season, I’m going with the Cowboys rookie.
I charted how many of their completions came on screens, how many came on the quarterback’s first read (there’s obviously some guesswork involved here), how many came on passes aimed less than five yards past the line of scrimmage and how many were thrown 15 yards past the line of scrimmage. I also tallied how many completions were both shorter than five yards downfield and thrown to the first read, which can be found in the fourth row on the following chart:
Prescott has gotten less help from the design of his offense and hasn’t thrown as many stat-padding screens and short throws. And though the Cowboys offensive line is viewed as the best in the league, Wentz has actually gotten better protection from his line. He’s been pressured on only 8.1% of his dropbacks, per Football Outsiders’ charting data. Prescott has been pressured on 16% of his dropbacks.
Prescott is also far less reliant on yards after the catch.
Really, you can’t go wrong with either guy, but Prescott currently holds a slight advantage due to the higher degree of difficulty.
