NFL's Best QB Situations 2017 - Rotoworld.com
21. Eagles, Carson Wentz
Last Year’s Ranking: 26
After laughably generating early MVP hype, Carson Wentz regressed down the stretch of his rookie season, with his mechanics largely in shambles by Week 17. Wentz’s elongated throwing motion caused elbow pain, necessitating offseason work with quarterback gurus Adam Dedeaux and Tom House. Wentz posted a quarterback rating higher than 80.0 just four times over his final 12 starts, with his deep ball checking in as particularly erratic. Wentz was not without alibis for his struggles. He was dealing with one of the league’s worst supporting casts, and was, after all, a 23-year-old rookie making the jump from the FCS to the NFL. That, of course, is also cause for concern. Already headed into his age-24 campaign, Wentz isn’t as projectable as some young quarterbacks. Ultimately, Wentz will live and die with his mechanics. If he can’t clean them up, he’s a Blake Bortles waiting to happen. There’s promise here, but the risk is real after Wentz’s inconclusive rookie year.
Do you watch the games?What I saw last year was a rookie QB that did a very nice job after being tossed in the starter spot with 8 days until the 1st game. He showed poise, a good arm, and a command of the field. If some of the passes he threw were caught by the worst receivers in the NFL, his record may have been better.Rotoworld ranks the QBs...

You roll the dice on any QB your draft not named Manning. Wantz has all the physical tools you want and showed the NFL is not too big for him. He has what you need between his ears and the work ethic to go along with that. I think you will see a massive improvement this year given the players around him now.
Another dumb ass post because you are obviously getting your ass handed to you due to your lack of knowledge.

umm. The title of the post series is "The Experts say..." I made no attempt to either disagree or agree with the author. Your continued personal attacks for me posting information from experts is comical.
But yeah, I put more stock in the opinions of experts than I do yahoos from a message board.

Do you really need an article to tell you how the Eagles and Wentz look? I don't, I watch them play and feel very optimistic with the 2nd year QB.

I think you put to much stock in self-proclaimed "experts". I'm not convinced this Patrick Daugherty is any more qualified to project Wentz's future than anyone posting here, and I'd wager he's actually watched him less than almost everyone here. Just because someone posts an article on the Internet does not make them an expert...
Anyone who has made a living as a football writer for nine years as this guy has is probably more knowledgeable than anyone one of us.
I can't believe people are questioning Wentz. He has a lot of work to do but he looked like a budding superstar to me. Didn't Peyton have ugly stats and plays year one. Don't almost all star QB have a growth period in the beginning?
He just has that moxy and leadership abilities.
Don't mind DPD.....he is bored and has nothing better to do. He ignores relevant information and then goes on to something else. Once you expose him he will go off on another topic. In this instance I gave him examples of Tom Brady and Aaaron Rodgers having bad pre draft reports. Jaws specifically mentions Rodgers mechanics and DPD does not comment on that. Why because it invalidates his entire point and he does not how to rebut his nonsense.
Going into the draft last year all reports mentioned the flaws that Wentz had. The report that DPD quoted is nothing new. Most of the draft reports say the same thing the QB comparisons vary as well. I have read reports that compare him to Bortles, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Derek Carr and Alex Smith. Wentz is the real deal and I think is going to be a stud. I still have him as the highest rated QB from last years draft.
I don't respond to much of your comments as I don't think my opinion is particularly relevant (or yours). On this thread the focus is on sharing expert opinions that are out there. I am not endorsing the opinions, although you seem to think I am. I shared what I found, you shared what you found. No particular reason to inject personal opinions in most cases.
