Pick is a pick, sorry.
Dak was put in the best possible situation and couldn’t get his team a win. Couple that with a history of Romo doing the exact same thing and it will always be an albatross to bear. That’s just the hard reality.
Wentz went 7-9 last season with a horrible supporting cast. It’s gotten much better this season, but not as good as what Dak had last season. He’s projecting nicely with all the big injuries to key players.
Big Ben fell into virtually the same situation as Dak, had a great supporting cast, and he won a Championship. Just sayin’, fair or not, it’s how QBs are judged.

We haven't had one good defense since 2003, it's hard for QBs to win in the post-season without one, regardless of how good the offense is. Our defensive line does seem to be improved from last year so maybe it'll be enough in January. Assuming our young secondary keeps improving and we actually get in of course. I assume nothing at 3-3 and in 3rd place in our division with Elliott's legal issues looming over us.

You keep moving the goal posts. You start with Dak and the offense, then shift to the defense.
Season and young QB careers are still way early. Let’s just see how it all plays out.

Yeah I think Wentz and Prescott will be in this league for a long time to come, probably with the teams they're on right now. Cousins is probably on the way out, as is Manning, so that should be interesting.

I hope Cousins leaves the division after this season. He has Philly’s number. It still baffles me how poorly Washington handled his contract. Sure he’s struggled agasint good teams but he’s had a suspect defense and literally no running game.
Sure hope Philly can eke out a win tonight, so I can revel in the crying on Redskins radio tomorrow!

Still too early on Dak and Wentz.

Joe Thomas done for the season.
His Iron Man streak has to be right up there with Ripken’s.

I'd say Jason Witten's streak is up there as well

Not even close. Joe Thomas played 10,000 plus consecutive snaps he did miss a single one for over 10 years!

Technically it’s Shane lechler. Punters are people too.

Rickah, you are in a elite group of Eaggles fans that I can agree with. Very well said my friend.

It’s really Favre that matters. I mean dude didn’t miss a game for 18 years! I don’t think anyone is touching that.

These type of streaks are meaningless. Congrats on not getting injured. That's all that it means.
