I'm not sure I agree. I guess if you evaluate potential based on arm strength alone he has more potential. But there are many other talents that determine what a QB does and Dak does everything else just as well if not better.Wentz could end up being really good IMO. I love Dak but I think that Wentz has more upside.
Yep. You get the impression Dak is a true leader and far more accurate. He upped his game under serious learning pressure several times as a rookie, and that appears to be a major part of his makeup.I'm not sure I agree.

Not really. I place arm strength at about #4 of things I look for in a QB. We will see how it all plays out. They were both rookies last season, so I don't think we have a good enough sample size to know yet.I'm not sure I agree.

Right. It is what any player does consisentantly.Not really. I place arm strength at about #4 of things I look for in a QB. We will see how it all plays out. They were both rookies last season, so I don't think we have a good enough sample size to know yet.
Correct.Wentz showed jack not shit last year. Sure, he could improve, but I take Dak 10 times out of 10 over him right now. And it's not even close.
Unfortunately it did.It also shortens your career.
Accuracy, leadership, pocket awareness, clutch ability and timing I all check off in favor of Dak. Plus right now at least Dak processes information way more quickly than Wentz. And I'm not sure how one can say "Wentz has more potential" in those areas. Some of those a QB either has or they don't. So if Dak is already better in those areas I have a hard time imaging Wentz can ever close those gaps.Not really. I place arm strength at about #4 of things I look for in a QB.

I think Wentz is being undersold here too, but no way in hell he turns out better than Mariota and Winston.Some serious underselling of Wentz here. If we hadn't lucked into Prescott I'd still be cursing Philly for moving up to snag him in front of us. I think Wentz will be better than Mariota or Winston.
Not sure what "jack not shit" means...but if it means you saw nothing from Wentz last year then I question your intelligence. He made lots of plays and I would be real happy if I was a Philly fan.Wentz showed jack not shit last year. Sure, he could improve, but I take Dak 10 times out of 10 over him right now.

Nor*. And whatever he did show, he negated with terrible throws, so I would say last year was a wash for him. I wouldn't be terribly excited if I was an Eagles fan. I would be terribly apprehensive.Not sure what "jack not shit" means...but if it means you saw nothing from Wentz last year then I question your intelligence.

So a rookie QB from a small school made some bad throws. Shocking. He still finished with 3800 16/14...which is excellent for a rookie. Winning 7 games and navigating the season with an entire new staff is commendable as well. Last year was not a wash, that is silly.Nor*.

16 TDs to 14 INTs is as close to a wash as you can get without being dead-on a wash.So a rookie QB from a small school made some bad throws. Shocking.

Peyton Manning had a similar TD to Int ratio his rookie year, 26 TD/28 Int.16 TDs to 14 INTs is as close to a wash as you can get without being dead-on a wash.
And, I said that Wentz could improve. But, his year last year did not show it.Peyton Manning had a similar TD to Int ratio his rookie year, 26 TD/28 Int.
I think it showed Wentz had a lot of the abilities you look for in a young franchise QB. In an alternate universe where Dak had put up a similar performance, I'd still be very encouraged that a rookie was able to perform that well when they got no time to learn as a backup.And, I said that Wentz could improve.
