@@morsumbra9692 after you’re done mentally masterbating you should draw attention to the fact that my comment was directed at the original commenter, not Carson Wentz
A couple of things happened. One thing is he never got out of his hero ball tendencies. Too many times he tried to make a big play which led to sacks, fumbles, and picks. I also think his confidence got shattered. When your backup gets a shrine dedicated to him in the locker room and then you get traded for performance a year or two later you’re less confident. It got even worse when he was blamed solely for missing the playoffs against the Colts when the defense didn’t show up and the offensive weapons were mid outside of Taylor
He requested the trade, it wasn’t just his horrible performance. The relationship between him and the Eagles was over at that point, so trading him was best for all involved.
Lots of excuses for a guy who's uncoachable and has a tendency to play hero ball. If he's had a decline in three different organizations, maybe he's the issue and not everyone around him.
Except he did get out of his hero ball tendencies. I'll copy my comment from another topic here: He developed backwards in the NFL. Wentz came out of NDSU known as a gunslinger that didn't take care of the ball and took many unnecessary risks. His first 3 seasons in the NFL? He was the second best QB at taking care of the ball, only behind Rodgers, he frequently made the right decisions on the field and was actually playing too safe sometimes, which was the reason Alshon Jeffery played better for Foles than Wentz. Foles was willing to throw 50-50 balls, Wentz only passed to Alshon when he was 100% open. Then all of a sudden he reverts back to the player he was at NDSU. Improvises on every play, makes dumb decisions, doesn't throw the ball away and makes bizarre desperate passes on double coverage.

The problem was that you never knew when he was going to make an incredibly poor decision.

From what I've heard, the guy just didn't love football at an intensity level needed to be a top tier NFL quarterback. All the greats grind football all year long. It's no crime if a guy likes hanging with his family or going hunting and fishing more than he likes watching film of defensive schemes.
Yet during the first 3 seasons there was an insane amount of reports of him being the first in the building and the last out. Reports that he was absolutely insane studying the game. That's the problem with the media, you never know when it's true or not. The same things I hear about Hurts, I heard about Wentz, except when it comes to leadership. But work ethic and love for the game, it's pretty much the same thing. Hurts does look a lot more like a competitive NFL QB than Wentz when it comes to body language, so there's that. I believe when they say Hurts is a hard worker and crazy leader, with Wentz I just believe in what they said, and I'll never know how much of it was true.
You do a great job demonstrating his struggles in reading coverage but you missed an opportunity to talk about his mechanics. He's not stepping into his throws like he needs to. He's got a big enough arm to cheat some of the time but he's not generating torque with his hips and that's what's causing those deep balls to be off target. I'd be curious to see tape of him pre-ACL and see if he was more aggressive with stepping into his throws back then? Injuries do things like that sometimes where guys come back but never really all the way back. Just look at Carson Palmer. He had a long productive career but he was on a hall of fame trajectory before the cheap-shot against pittsburgh (go figure). Wentz seems like the same story.
It’s crazy to think about what would happen if he didn’t tear his ACL. I doubt he pulls off what Foles did but he likely is still a top 10 QB today on the Eagles.
Uh, I'm not so sure the ACL and Foles situation is what made him bad. If anything, it was the Clowney helmet to helmet hit vs Seattle. Most likely is that he just stinks.
yeah i have to doubt this one. He’s got way more problems then injury…he’s hard to coach, makes bad decisions, and worst of all in my opinion is that he has bad mechanics. This is a big red flag to me because they look just as bad as his rookie year, they haven’t gotten any better.
@ 4:50. He is running a 5 route (an out), not a 7 route (a corner), because he flattens directly towards the sideline. On a 7 route, he would be angling towards it while continuing to run deep.
I’ve legit never seen a QB have his whole career be based off of one season like Wentz has. People for years swore up and down that he was Mahomes level solely because of 2017 it was so weird. Not even Lamar gets as much hype around him for his MVP year like Wentz got for years.
The same exact year where his team won the Super Bowl without him lol. I mean he had great Houdini escapes and a ton of very close 3rd down conversions in 2017 that he got away with, but IMO that stacked team made him look better than he actually was, and nothing about his game ever seemed sustainable to me.
I will forever die on the hill that Foles should have been our starting QB after that Superbowl win, and I'm glad that Wentz proved me right. Foles didn't have the measurables, the "talent", the "arm", but he loved the team and they loved him. He needed Philly and Philly needed him. It's a shame they turned their back on him. He will forever be an Eagle though, we love Foles till the day we die here 🦅🦅
the fact the eagles had a statue right outside of the stadium of NICK FOLES something he had to walk by everyday, his confidence was killed, once that happens in the nfl you won’t be the same.
As a Washington fan, 41 is Jonathan Williams, not J. D. McKissic. McKissic was on IR at this point and changed his number to 23 for last season. Don’t mean to be matter of fact, but I thought this might help in the future. Great vid tho!
The Browns game should have been Rivera's last game as the Commanders coach. The decision to start Wentz over a red hot Hienke was incredibly ignorant.
Stop Taylor was not red hot by any means. He couldn’t beat the shitty giants once in two chances. Yea in fact his inability to hold on to the ball against them actually cost them those games.
@@johnwickonspeed7701 Heinicke not good but he got Washington in position for a playoff spot after they started 2-4. Then they benched him for Wentz who hadn’t played a game since October and wasn’t even playing that well before he got hurt and it cost them big time.
I'm an Eagles fan and I'm in the minority that will remember Wentz for the good things, including all the highlight moments and SB season. And honestly, after 2017 there was just too many reports pointing towards him being a subpar teammate and selfish when commenting on that Superbowl. But I can't bring myself to blame him. What happened to him is insanely rare in the NFL, the other guy in recent memory was Drew Bledsoe and you could see that, even though he did a MUCH better job hiding it than Wentz, he was broken. Much like Wentz, Bledsoe showed flashes of his greatness post NE but never maintained that level of consistency. I don't know how I would've felt if it was me on his place. Imagine being this close to achieving something very few human beings could only dream of achieving, and then watching someone else doing it in your place because you couldn't be there. I would say it's a character defining moment.
But that's precisely his weakness. Wentz can't play in a system anymore, he seems to only be performing well in out of schedule plays. Honestly, he developed backwards in the NFL. Wentz came out of NDSU known as a gunslinger that didn't take care of the ball and took many unnecessary risks. His first 3 seasons in the NFL? He was the second best QB at taking care of the ball, only behind Rodgers, he frequently made the right decisions on the field and was actually playing too safe sometimes, which was the reason Alshon Jeffery played better for Foles than Wentz. Foles was willing to throw 50-50 balls, Wentz only passed to Alshon when he was 100% open. Then all of a sudden he reverts back to the player he was at NDSU. Improvises on every play, makes dumb decisions, doesn't throw the ball away and makes bizarre desperate passes on double coverage.
Million dollar arm. 10 cent brain. Drew Brees proved that you don't need to have a huge arm to be successful. Give me the smart QB over the prototypical QB any day.
Nothing derails a career or a team like injuries, I remember watching a highlights NFL weekley films at the time where players are mic'd up and there's audio equipment picking up the sounds of the game. Well, Wentz attempted to run it in through the pile at the goal line a`la Cam Newton and one of the Eagles player's says "he's got to stop doing that" and later on disater struck , Joe Burrow came all the way back sadly, Wentz didn't and it's been downhill ever since. Go Hawks
The problem is that Wentz "throws it to the other team." That is a step on from "making poor decisions." His obvious talent cannot make up for this. I cannot see why anyone would want him.
Wentz also had a brick wall of an o line in 2017, 3 starting caliber tight ends and an above average receiving corps to the point where career backup Nick Foles led that offense to a combined 79 points in the league championship and Super Bowl. Was Wentz that great or simply took advantage of a talent factory of an Eagles roster? He wasn’t atrocious by any means apart from 2020 and last season.
My coworker was convinced Carson Wentz was the 3rd best quarterback in the league going into the year 2019. It was a lot of fun to watch him fall so far, leaving every team he touched a smoldering wreck. Somehow the Eagles recovered... but there's still more damage to do! Wentz has at least one more team left to ruin! Where will it be???
Acl injuries are a coin toss. Brady and Burrow picked up where they left off, Wentz and Palmer never played at the same level except for Palmers outlier 2015 campaign.
at the end of the day i think the talent was still there, what's gone is the stability, and the context is dependent on perspective. the eagles and colts get shameful passes and swept under the rug for the failure to support him. They were absolute consistent tire fires organizationally, and when you have a player like Carson who beyond showing 1 or 2 or 3 plays, is a physical, tough gunslinger. Yeah that player is gonna fail with instability surrounding him. Farve wouldn't have lasted if the packers were willing to accept him for his gunslinger flaws on and off the field. Carson wentz who by comparison is a bad clone of farve on the field. yeah he's gonna fail if you can't play around the turnover worthy plays his style is gonna rack up. if he ever played for Arians though, or Bill o Brien He'd be fine.
Favre wouldn't make it in this NFL. Also look at Kurt Warner's analysis from the Colts-Jags game, which is the breaking point of Wentz's career. There's only one person to blame for the downfall of Carson Wentz, himself.
Personally, I just don't think being a favre type gun slinger is a viably consistent winning strategy in the NFL. In 2017 they coached the silly mistakes out of him for a bit in philly but ever since hes simply generated way to many turnovers. Nowadays you lose the turnover differential against a good team, you lose 9 times out of 10.
@@reubensandwich9249 That game, i think history has even shown it was unfair to him to judge him on that day vs over that year. The pressures they let up, were the same pressures, they let up for Matt Ryan. They're roster building to this point has been pure trash (with the exception of this last draft) masquerading around as some form of quality because they followed Grigson by comparison. the traits of Carson is good, the processing is bad. the way i put it is, he's a quality roster around him from being Josh Allen. Josh is Carson, but with fans. he survives his own gunslinger vision and doesn't get killed by the media for giving up his body the same way Carson has. Though to be fair, he may never win anything either and fall off fast if his body starts to give out on him the same way.
Thats fair, i just think the eagles were wrong for their 2019 wr corp, who he still won a division with in spite of on a fairly good year. They then made him endure another year with the same cast of guys which i think was uncalled for, and they proceeded to draft Reagor and Hurts subsequently and it just never got any better. They just finished Jordan Mailata's development honestly, but it was Carson who had to endure a lot of his lean years along with a baby Vaitai, when every vet on the front constantly dealt with injuries and the failures of that process eventually just fell primarily on Carson. which i don't think was right. He just wanted more support from the front office that he never came, which i think he not only earned and deserved, but every player at his position thats successful has received.
Eh they’re pretty much on the same level the difference is jerry doesn’t get rid of his players so easily even if they show him he should….neither were elite QBs just sat behind good Olines
@@michaelisaac4439 you been saying that since 2016 but let me tell you something brother…that like been changed multiple times since then and haven’t been like that since then
He has the talent to be elite, not the brains and never put in the hard work. He had a great team that hid all his weaknesses, his team won in the playoffs and SB without him, his backup QB took over playing some of the best teams in the league and they didn't miss a beat.
Knee injury, never really accurate, terrible teammate, uncomfortable around black players (North Dakota), doesn't listen to coaches and can't except criticism. No leadership capabilities.
trying to be a NFL quarterback is not easy. just being a NFL player for that matter. I wonder what they are like after they quit. gota be a b**ch trying to find a new life after football, prob all they know how to do, I mean how els do they get so good at just one thing.

Yet there’s no “one and done” narrative surrounding him🤨 Josh Allen 2021 (11-6)- worse record (11-6, 12-5), less yards AND TDs than Dak (Allen 4,407 36tds,4.449 37tds) w/ 50 more pass attempts, worse completion% (63.3, 68.8), more ints than Dak (15,10) more total turnovers (20, 18) 🤯 2022- led NFL in turnovers (Allen-19, Dak-16), 🤯, worse completion percentage (63.3, 66.2), never hear y’all say “I’m worried about the turnovers”😂 Trevor Lawrence 2021- (3-14), 1,008 less pass yards than Dak despite 6 more attempts (596, 602), worse completion% (59.6, 68.8), 12:15 TD to Int ratio vs 37:10 for Dak, Trevor literally had more ints than TDS…shameful, 71.9 rating to Dak’s 104.2 2022- (9-8) only 2 more passing TDs than Dak despite 5 more games played (25-23), worse record (9-8, 12-5), through 2 playoff games he got 5tds 5ints and a 1-1 record…yall would bury Dak for that, yet again not a narrative surrounding him either about turnovers, hasn’t done nothing Dak hasn’t done but ppl believe in him to win…laughable but I ain’t laughing Jalen Hurts 2021 (9-8) only 3,144 pass yards Dak had 1,405 more, only 16TDs to Dak 37, TD to Int ratio 16:9 vs Dak’s 37-10, bounced vs Bucs 1st round of playoffs 2022 (15-2) he only matched Dak rookie passing stats with a much more loaded roster, only 3,700 pass yards and 22tds, Dak missed 5 games and threw 23tds, also Dak would never get credit for 22tds 3700 yards… Dak Prescott 2021 (12-5) made playoffs, tied 2nd best, 4,449 passing yards (7th), 37 TDs (T-4th Mahomes, Rodgers), completion% (68.8, 4th), number 1 offense (30.4 ppg) only team with 30+, 6th redzone scoring % 2022 (12-5) made playoffs, missed 5 games, 1st in points per game from weeks (7-18), 4th best offense in the NFL, divisional round appearance, number 1 in redzone scoring% ( 71.43%) next was KC with 71.08%, only those 2 with 71%
I like how you factor in total turnovers to make Dak look less bad but you leave out Hurts’ rushing TDs and only count his passing TDs. Ignoring Hurts’ rushing stats is like ignoring a RB’s rushing stats.

Wentz have deeper issues.
Coach Rex Ryan summed it up best on ESPN's Get Up!. “It's because they put that stupid statue of the backup quarterback outside of their stadium!"
Knocked out my hangover watching this. Thanks.
Eagles fan here. Definitely felt this video.
Thought Wentz was going to be the future at one point.
Especially after the Steelers game in his rookie year, his was terrific
@ 4:50. He is running a 5 route (an out), not a 7 route (a corner), because he flattens directly towards the sideline. On a 7 route, he would be angling towards it while continuing to run deep.
I’ve legit never seen a QB have his whole career be based off of one season like Wentz has. People for years swore up and down that he was Mahomes level solely because of 2017 it was so weird. Not even Lamar gets as much hype around him for his MVP year like Wentz got for years.
The same exact year where his team won the Super Bowl without him lol. I mean he had great Houdini escapes and a ton of very close 3rd down conversions in 2017 that he got away with, but IMO that stacked team made him look better than he actually was, and nothing about his game ever seemed sustainable to me.
@@flyforce16 that team wasn't that stacked. 2022 eagles was like a billion times better.
@@flyforce16
Eagles don't get home field advantage without Wentz.
@@trey2810 The team looked better with Foles. He guided them back to another playoff run in 2018
I will forever die on the hill that Foles should have been our starting QB after that Superbowl win, and I'm glad that Wentz proved me right.
Foles didn't have the measurables, the "talent", the "arm", but he loved the team and they loved him. He needed Philly and Philly needed him. It's a shame they turned their back on him.
He will forever be an Eagle though, we love Foles till the day we die here 🦅🦅
Why did I read this as “ What WENTZ wrong “ 😂😂😂😂
All jokes aside I loved every min he played in Eagles/Redskins …cowboy Nation 🎉
the fact the eagles had a statue right outside of the stadium of NICK FOLES something he had to walk by everyday, his confidence was killed, once that happens in the nfl you won’t be the same.
Not to mention the quality of character generally in North Dakota vs the "City of Brotherly go ef yourself". Musta been a culture shock
As a Washington fan, 41 is Jonathan Williams, not J. D. McKissic. McKissic was on IR at this point and changed his number to 23 for last season. Don’t mean to be matter of fact, but I thought this might help in the future. Great vid tho!
The Browns game should have been Rivera's last game as the Commanders coach. The decision to start Wentz over a red hot Hienke was incredibly ignorant.
Stop Taylor was not red hot by any means. He couldn’t beat the shitty giants once in two chances. Yea in fact his inability to hold on to the ball against them actually cost them those games.
@@johnwickonspeed7701 Heinicke not good but he got Washington in position for a playoff spot after they started 2-4. Then they benched him for Wentz who hadn’t played a game since October and wasn’t even playing that well before he got hurt and it cost them big time.
I'm an Eagles fan and I'm in the minority that will remember Wentz for the good things, including all the highlight moments and SB season. And honestly, after 2017 there was just too many reports pointing towards him being a subpar teammate and selfish when commenting on that Superbowl.
But I can't bring myself to blame him. What happened to him is insanely rare in the NFL, the other guy in recent memory was Drew Bledsoe and you could see that, even though he did a MUCH better job hiding it than Wentz, he was broken. Much like Wentz, Bledsoe showed flashes of his greatness post NE but never maintained that level of consistency.
I don't know how I would've felt if it was me on his place. Imagine being this close to achieving something very few human beings could only dream of achieving, and then watching someone else doing it in your place because you couldn't be there. I would say it's a character defining moment.
When Heineken was doing good and helping the commanders to a playoff berth, Ron rivera and the front office just bench him and it wentz south
The RB who he was throwing to is definitely not J.D. McKissic. I think it's Antonio Gibson or Jonathan Williams
Literally the moment we signed him I knew it would be a disaster.
You from Washington or Indianapolis? Either way, the team getting rid of him lucked out to have him gone.
@@stevebabiak6997 Washington. Knew him very well from his Eagles days. After watching his last season with Philly + injuries, knew he was cooked.
I have seen the politics and everything else about the NFL come together and ruin talented people's career
Great video! It seems that Carson Wentz could really use a coach like Kyle Shanahan that gives the QB very specific instructions for every play.
Shanahan is overrated, his system always expose the QB to injury!
I'd like to see him go to the Raiders if Garappalo isn't healthy
@@smurphy98844 Yeah, he needs to play for an established team with an established coach! Green Bay could work out if Love struggles
But that's precisely his weakness. Wentz can't play in a system anymore, he seems to only be performing well in out of schedule plays.
Honestly, he developed backwards in the NFL. Wentz came out of NDSU known as a gunslinger that didn't take care of the ball and took many unnecessary risks. His first 3 seasons in the NFL? He was the second best QB at taking care of the ball, only behind Rodgers, he frequently made the right decisions on the field and was actually playing too safe sometimes, which was the reason Alshon Jeffery played better for Foles than Wentz. Foles was willing to throw 50-50 balls, Wentz only passed to Alshon when he was 100% open.
Then all of a sudden he reverts back to the player he was at NDSU. Improvises on every play, makes dumb decisions, doesn't throw the ball away and makes bizarre desperate passes on double coverage.
@@Ocean5ix I wonder what honestly caused it, or if the concussion had something to do with his decision making (maybe).
Million dollar arm. 10 cent brain.
Drew Brees proved that you don't need to have a huge arm to be successful. Give me the smart QB over the prototypical QB any day.
Nothing derails a career or a team like injuries, I remember watching a highlights NFL weekley films at the time where players are mic'd up and there's audio equipment picking up the sounds of the game. Well, Wentz attempted to run it in through the pile at the goal line a`la Cam Newton and one of the Eagles player's says "he's got to stop doing that" and later on disater struck , Joe Burrow came all the way back sadly, Wentz didn't and it's been downhill ever since. Go Hawks
Carson Wentz next job should be imitating Prince Harry on the Las Vegas Strip
Siri play Carson Wentz by Cruddy Murda 😂
The problem is that Wentz "throws it to the other team." That is a step on from "making poor decisions." His obvious talent cannot make up for this. I cannot see why anyone would want him.
66 career Interceptions. That's an average of about 9 picks per year for Wentz. He had 17 his rookie year.
As always thanks for the spicy content! 🙏🏻
We getting a vid breaking down wentz plays but can’t get a vid about the Texans crazy
Wentz also had a brick wall of an o line in 2017, 3 starting caliber tight ends and an above average receiving corps to the point where career backup Nick Foles led that offense to a combined 79 points in the league championship and Super Bowl.
Was Wentz that great or simply took advantage of a talent factory of an Eagles roster?
He wasn’t atrocious by any means apart from 2020 and last season.
10.25 wait 11 really?? wow that’s really impressive in one season
My coworker was convinced Carson Wentz was the 3rd best quarterback in the league going into the year 2019. It was a lot of fun to watch him fall so far, leaving every team he touched a smoldering wreck. Somehow the Eagles recovered... but there's still more damage to do! Wentz has at least one more team left to ruin! Where will it be???
Great video!
Thank you!
No “What Wentz Wrong?” ?
cant wait to watch this as an eagles fan
Was a big disaster
The injury he was doing great up until then!!!
Talent has never been Wentz issue. Theres something wrong between the ears
Shortly after being drafted, Wentz visited Sam Bradford and decided what he wanted to do.
I’m soo glad we dropped his ass
He’s a slightly more talented Blake Bortles.
Acl injuries are a coin toss. Brady and Burrow picked up where they left off, Wentz and Palmer never played at the same level except for Palmers outlier 2015 campaign.
Burrow and Brady are amazing decision makers.
at the end of the day i think the talent was still there, what's gone is the stability, and the context is dependent on perspective. the eagles and colts get shameful passes and swept under the rug for the failure to support him. They were absolute consistent tire fires organizationally, and when you have a player like Carson who beyond showing 1 or 2 or 3 plays, is a physical, tough gunslinger. Yeah that player is gonna fail with instability surrounding him. Farve wouldn't have lasted if the packers were willing to accept him for his gunslinger flaws on and off the field. Carson wentz who by comparison is a bad clone of farve on the field. yeah he's gonna fail if you can't play around the turnover worthy plays his style is gonna rack up. if he ever played for Arians though, or Bill o Brien He'd be fine.
Favre wouldn't make it in this NFL. Also look at Kurt Warner's analysis from the Colts-Jags game, which is the breaking point of Wentz's career.
There's only one person to blame for the downfall of Carson Wentz, himself.
Personally, I just don't think being a favre type gun slinger is a viably consistent winning strategy in the NFL.
In 2017 they coached the silly mistakes out of him for a bit in philly but ever since hes simply generated way to many turnovers.
Nowadays you lose the turnover differential against a good team, you lose 9 times out of 10.
@@reubensandwich9249 That game, i think history has even shown it was unfair to him to judge him on that day vs over that year. The pressures they let up, were the same pressures, they let up for Matt Ryan. They're roster building to this point has been pure trash (with the exception of this last draft) masquerading around as some form of quality because they followed Grigson by comparison. the traits of Carson is good, the processing is bad. the way i put it is, he's a quality roster around him from being Josh Allen. Josh is Carson, but with fans. he survives his own gunslinger vision and doesn't get killed by the media for giving up his body the same way Carson has. Though to be fair, he may never win anything either and fall off fast if his body starts to give out on him the same way.
If you thought there was a “tire fire” with the Eagles, you should remember that Wentz lit the match.
Thats fair, i just think the eagles were wrong for their 2019 wr corp, who he still won a division with in spite of on a fairly good year. They then made him endure another year with the same cast of guys which i think was uncalled for, and they proceeded to draft Reagor and Hurts subsequently and it just never got any better. They just finished Jordan Mailata's development honestly, but it was Carson who had to endure a lot of his lean years along with a baby Vaitai, when every vet on the front constantly dealt with injuries and the failures of that process eventually just fell primarily on Carson. which i don't think was right. He just wanted more support from the front office that he never came, which i think he not only earned and deserved, but every player at his position thats successful has received.
WHEN DENZEL WARD HAS
Dak vs Wentz 😂 admit it if you thought Wentz was better…
Eh they’re pretty much on the same level the difference is jerry doesn’t get rid of his players so easily even if they show him he should….neither were elite QBs just sat behind good Olines
@@michaelisaac4439 you been saying that since 2016 but let me tell you something brother…that like been changed multiple times since then and haven’t been like that since then
Patriots should pick him up
Before watching, my answer will be:
The Commies went wrong
Anyone else remember "Wentzylvania"? 😂
That was a thing?
At 8:30 the right tackle takes out two guys blitzing at the same time. More props to him than Gibson if you ask me
Wentz had a bad attitude after 2017
Do Derek Carr plz
He has the talent to be elite, not the brains and never put in the hard work. He had a great team that hid all his weaknesses, his team won in the playoffs and SB without him, his backup QB took over playing some of the best teams in the league and they didn't miss a beat.
Knee injury, never really accurate, terrible teammate, uncomfortable around black players (North Dakota), doesn't listen to coaches and can't except criticism. No leadership capabilities.
That 2017 Wentz hit different!
This video's a 10
trying to be a NFL quarterback is not easy. just being a NFL player for that matter. I wonder what they are like after they quit. gota be a b**ch trying to find a new life after football, prob all they know how to do, I mean how els do they get so good at just one thing. I hope they save their money........ qbs prob have enough to save some but still what do they do for work now?
😂 they usually become an analyst, coach, or trainer 😂 they seamlessly transition from the nfl to their next career
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dak vs QBs ranked “better than him”
1 Justin Herbert
2021 (9-8)- worse record (9-8, 12-5), missed playoffs, more ints than Dak (Herbert 15, Dak 10)
2022 (10-7)- again worse record (10-7, 12-5), blew a 27-7 lead in his very 1st playoff game and went home. Yet there’s no “one and done” narrative surrounding him🤨
Josh Allen
2021 (11-6)- worse record (11-6, 12-5), less yards AND TDs than Dak (Allen 4,407 36tds,4.449 37tds) w/ 50 more pass attempts, worse completion% (63.3, 68.8), more ints than Dak (15,10) more total turnovers (20, 18) 🤯
2022- led NFL in turnovers (Allen-19, Dak-16), 🤯, worse completion percentage (63.3, 66.2), never hear y’all say “I’m worried about the turnovers”😂
Trevor Lawrence
2021- (3-14), 1,008 less pass yards than Dak despite 6 more attempts (596, 602), worse completion% (59.6, 68.8), 12:15 TD to Int ratio vs 37:10 for Dak, Trevor literally had more ints than TDS…shameful, 71.9 rating to Dak’s 104.2
2022- (9-8) only 2 more passing TDs than Dak despite 5 more games played (25-23), worse record (9-8, 12-5), through 2 playoff games he got 5tds 5ints and a 1-1 record…yall would bury Dak for that, yet again not a narrative surrounding him either about turnovers, hasn’t done nothing Dak hasn’t done but ppl believe in him to win…laughable but I ain’t laughing
Jalen Hurts
2021 (9-8) only 3,144 pass yards Dak had 1,405 more, only 16TDs to Dak 37, TD to Int ratio 16:9 vs Dak’s 37-10, bounced vs Bucs 1st round of playoffs
2022 (15-2) he only matched Dak rookie passing stats with a much more loaded roster, only 3,700 pass yards and 22tds, Dak missed 5 games and threw 23tds, also Dak would never get credit for 22tds 3700 yards…
Dak Prescott
2021 (12-5) made playoffs, tied 2nd best, 4,449 passing yards (7th), 37 TDs (T-4th Mahomes, Rodgers), completion% (68.8, 4th), number 1 offense (30.4 ppg) only team with 30+, 6th redzone scoring %
2022 (12-5) made playoffs, missed 5 games, 1st in points per game from weeks (7-18), 4th best offense in the NFL, divisional round appearance, number 1 in redzone scoring% ( 71.43%) next was KC with 71.08%, only those 2 with 71%
let me know when Dak makes a conference championship game, otherwise he's just Kirk Cousins with extra steps
I like how you factor in total turnovers to make Dak look less bad but you leave out Hurts’ rushing TDs and only count his passing TDs. Ignoring Hurts’ rushing stats is like ignoring a RB’s rushing stats.

Nothing wrong with Wentz. It's the Philly football fans that is the problem. They are trash. They were voted one of the worst fan groups.
