[@majintv24]

Interesting to see how 2 promising rookie qbs have changed from their 1st years to their 4th. Dak Prescott struggled gunning the ball to a reciever he floated a lot of passes, he struggled a lot with accuracy downfield and was shut down with a blitz a lot. He did show thow great touch on some passes and a great ability to extend plays and not force the ball downfield. Carson wentz on the other hand didnt really float balls he gunned em almost everytime and theres a lot of checkdowns he should have taken some heat off of the throws. He also wasnt amazingly athletic or superb at extending plays. Tho he was certainly a lot more accurate albeit it with a number of passes being low. He did have a slow and long release. Ultimately theyve both fixed their issues for the most part and have grown a lot

[@totoroid]

Brennan McKinney well they scored their first TD on it earlier and Dak wasn’t great passing or reading the field in the redzone or tight windows at that point in his career... wasn’t a bad play call necessarily and I’m not a Jason Garret fan lol. They were just using Daks greatest strength and hoping they’d bite on Zeke in the redzone again behind a good o line.

This game truly shows people what Wentz had to play with. His BEST year he had a DECENT deep threat and a Jeffery who was still kinda athletic. In this game he had Dorial Green Beckham... Whenever Cowboys fans complain about Dak having Dez, I laugh. There is a chart of the receivers Wentz had. Most of them retired or didn't last but a year or 2 with Wentz. I think Matthews was the ONLY and Agholor were the only ones. He hasn't had the same receiver corps his entire career. It's been different EVERY year. Lol the ONLY leg up Wentz has had would be tight ends. Lol
