Cool, cool...Just the pessimist in me thinking no way did Jerruh backdoor it into another franchise QB and the bottom will fall out somehow.
I totally get it. Trust me I do. In all honesty it's hard not to think that way given Jerruh's history.
Heck, there's a part of me that thinks had we drafted Wentz or Lynch that we'd end up fucking it up and that they'd become the next Ryan Leaf as well.
I realize the recent history and success with Kaep and RG3 and how quickly they showed their warts after being one or two year wonders and how it might compare with Dak's success.
If Dak was running a gimmick offense like they did or showed his inability to read defenses or look to run first and throw second then I would totally agree that we should tap the breaks big time.
But that doesn't appear to be the case at all.
I agree that there's room for improvement with him such as when he puts a bit too much on the ball and it sails out over the receivers heads but overall I'm not sure there is a QB in this league that doesn't have one get away from him from time to time.
I'd also love to see him air it out a bit more like we saw in preseason. I'm not sure why those plays haven't been called yet and am wondering if we're saving it for some of the tougher D's that we'll be facing.
For all the Wentz praise that has been going around, and rightfully so, he has a higher percentage of short passes (many of which behind the LOS) than Dak does. So it's not entirely accurate that he slings the ball down the field as compared to Dak.
However, his command of the offense and poise is completely unmatched especially given the fact that he's a rookie.
You're right, Jerruh doesn't deserve to have another franchise QB fall into his lap given all the damage he's done to the team and poor personnel and player decisions that he's made over the years. However, maybe it's a bone being thrown to the fans for once who has put up with his shit. Who knows?
I for one am enjoying the ride and am finally enjoying the games again which is something I haven't been able to say in quite some time.
