Wentz accuracy

I hope the Eagles fans excoriate Wentz for all of the missed easy passes as much as the Cowboys fans hate on Dak for missing some gimmies.

Dak gets roasted for not bombing it down the field all the time but Wentz threw for 300+ yards tonight and I can only think of 2 maybe 3 passes that went more than 10-15 yards down the field. Also look at how much time Wentz has in the pocket compared to Dak.

Well the argument that he's only throwing for 200-240ypg is really asinine. I mean when you have a lock down D with an old fashioned bellcow RB why in the world would you even think about wanting him to sling it 30-40 times a game just so you look like a "real" QB. Mr Davis said it best, just win baby! I mean yea only Brady and Big Ben have more wins than him since he entered but that matters not, unless he learns to throw for 300 yards. It's almost forgotten by the experts that Ben was so wreckless with the ball that they hardly let him throw the first couple years.

It just depends on how the team is built. Russell Wilson is having an all time great season this year, efficiency wise, and he has only thrown for 300+ once or twice. He has thrown for a TD every 8 completions and every 12 attempts, both absurdities, and his QBR is over 115 on the season. I think Daks numbers will improve, especially on long passes, with the addition of Cooper and the emergence of Gallup. He just needs a safety valve ala Whitten.

Right, the whole argument about Dak not throwing it downfield enough is just asinine. Two things have to be in place in order for a QB to do that consistently. 1. A line that can protect for more than 2 seconds 2. Receivers that can create space and/or go up to get a ball

Dallas has had neither for nearly a year and a half, and lo and behold, as soon as they got Cooper this year, it's given the offense an actual weapon while also opening things up a bit for Gallup. I’ve seen Dak throw deep more in the last month than probably any other point in his career

Look, Dak is not without fault. He holds the ball a little too long at times, he will overthrow a deep receiver occasionally, and I personally think he should utilize Zeke more in the passing game. However, dude got sacked 7 TIMES against NO, and that now makes 45 times this year which is just insane. To say that the Cowboys’ line needs some work would be the understatement of the year

Well I stated the way the Cowboys are currently built it was stupid to complain that Dak wasn't throwing for 300ypg

Yes, I was agreeing with you and bolstering your point with the Wilson example; perhaps I should have made that more apparent.
