Honestly forget two years ago, people forget how good he was last year. There's a weird narrative going around that he didn't have a good year. Really the only difference was fewer TDs. He was more efficient in nearly every other category.
It's hard to fathom that many folks view 2018 as a down year, especially after having torn his ACL not even a year earlier. Most QBs would kill to have those kinds of numbers in their best year.
Plus the "down season" was against a 1st place schedule, and the "MVP season" was against a last place schedule
I think it's because he was SO good before the ACL. Last season, when he came back the eagles went 5-6 with him as starter, and he got shut down in December with the back injury.....So just as he got back on track, he's done with an injury again.
I think part of the perception comes from the Eagles winning fewer games, 9-7 vs. 13-3.
I think a lot of Wentz's issues last year was the turmoil in the running game and no deep threat. Blount gone, Ajayi hurt, Clement hurt or ineffective, Torrey Smith gone, Wallace injured. Eliminating a good running game let defenses play the receivers tighter which made some of the windows in the red zone smaller, thus the decrease in his TD %. With Howard, Sanders, and Sproles, the running game should be much better and Jackson can take the top off the defense. That in turn will open things up for Jeffrey, Agholor, Ertz, and Goedart.
Yeah, I am suspicious of a Cowboy fan lauding Wentz....something's wrong here......it must be a trap......
I can one up that:
I own a lot of Pollard this year. Didn't spend much on him, but a Zeke holdout would be league-changing for me.I can one up that:
I put $50 on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl (at 17-1).
I drafted Elliot, Pollard, and Gallup.
The Cowboys may cease to exist as a franchise.

Perhaps you can expand on this? Maybe to uh, ya know ... like 14 or 20 words?
I jumped on board late round 7 as well. He may have very well lasted till 8 and could the had him 4 picks later on the turn, but I liked him a lot and had to pick him up.
My league is 6 point passing as well. Some sharks. Some not so sharkish. But he still fell further than I figured.
Or bad running backs and no deep threat. And a defense that blew big leads twice (Carolina 17-0, Tennessee 17-3) and couldn't get off the field in OT against the Cowboys. The problem wasn't the playcalling.
Matt Ryan ranked higher generally.
I think you're underestimating Koetter's relevance here. His connection to Matt Ryan's big years is clear, and having him back after his stint in Tampa (where he somehow made the Bucs the top passing offense in the nfl last year) is huge. I think Ryan throws the ball more than any qb in the league this year.Matt Ryan ranked higher generally.
I think that’s a mistake - falcons defense all got hurt last year forcing them to pass much more than they want to.
Ryan is being overdrafted (the endless cycle of Matty Ice being a bust then a steal then a bust then a steal then a...)
I’d wait for Ryan to go off the board then grab Wentz shortly after. Figure 6-7th round in standard redraft leagues?
After that if you miss Wentz you may as well wait & stack up on bargains.
It’s possible. I am skeptical though. If ATL’s defense is again healthy, it’s hard to imagine them winging it all over the place.Deamon said:
Ya, koetter will sling the ball like crazy even if they're up 50-0 tho. The guy just hates running the ball. I think Ryan is the only qb that has a shot to outscore mahomes this year and be qb1
I thought the OC who is in Cleveland now was the reason behind the air raid in TB last year. Name is escaping me ATM.Deamon said:
One was backward pass so it didn’t end up on the stat line. But, we were close.
I cant think of one. A few years back I used to just think of jackson as a decent wr. But he keeps doing this every year. Hes pretty special. Wish chip kelly never happened
Good ones. Galloway was a MONSTER.
My last post limits Djax to a speed guy only but he’s capable of the short stuff too, just don’t think it’s such a great idea to give him so much volume given his size and injury history.
