You just watch for guys playing fundamental football and see if guys gently caress up plays

It's more for the coaches than you. You might see a run that's 3 yards but coaches are keying in on your guard making insanely good/bad plays, etc.

Week 3 PS is pretty close to an NFL game so I'm curious how Miami does.

Hey so why do you guys think people in the NFL tend to be higher on Wentz than casual observers? Smoke and mirrors or something to it?

Also

quote:

Wentz is the lowest-ranked player considered by voters to have an especially bright future, which is why he has nearly as many Tier 2 votes (11) as all the lower-ranked players combined (14) -- despite a rough finish to the 2017 season. Multiple voters thought he could threaten Tier 1 down the line.

"Wentz, I think, is a 2 and has a chance being a 1 this year," a GM said. "What I saw last year, he is exactly what you are looking for. Toughness, movement, arm, quickness, decisiveness, accuracy. I think he is, of all the young quarterbacks in the league, the pick of the litter."

An assistant coach from the NFC East also placed Wentz in the second tier.

"I know he was up and down in the second half of the season, but I think he has a chance to be really good -- really good," a defensive coordinator who faced Wentz as a rookie said. "He can run the ball, he can get himself out of trouble, he is agile. I thought he was pretty smart and pretty poised. He did a couple things against us where he got them in and out of some plays that hurt us a little bit. I respect a guy like that, and that is as a rookie. I think it's all in front of him."

A personnel director said he thought Wentz, like [Jameis] Winston, would take off once surrounded with a strong supporting cast. A former GM said he'd take Wentz over Prescott if given the choice, even though Prescott had much better numbers.

"I think he is capable of carrying a team more consistently than Dak is because the pocket is for him," this former GM said. "The pocket isn't for all these guys, and I like Dak Prescott. You have to respect what he did."

Casual observers are correct to be skeptical since players get oversold all the time. And Wentz is a guy who didn't even play Div 1-A football.

Those watching more closely are correct to to be hyping him because he ticks just about every box mentally and physically,

And yet Dak will still be the better quarterback this year. Its going to be sweet.

I look forward to seeing how he plays without Zeke. It'll probably still be pretty good since there's no wear on any of the players yet.

You seem to imply there might be controversy in the idea that, if they could choose one or the other, every team in the league would take Wentz over Prescott, including the Cowboys. I don't think that's controversial at all.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that even if this wasn't a Philly media piece, it's a bad look for a GM to say "the guy we passed on multiple times is better than the guy we couldn't afford to get and I knew it all along"

lol at the idea that Eagles beat reporters tend to be favorable towards the team and aren't waiting like vultures praying for poo poo to blow up so they can eviscerate the owner, team management and players in the kind of articles that get the clicks and comments flowing.

I guess things are different in Boston.

I always find it humorous in preseason games how the local station broadcasting it has all their sportcasters doing the sideline reporting etc and it's like their one day in the sun and who the gently caress are these people?
