When did the Carson Wentz hype first begin?

[jadillac]

I'm not saying just b/c he went to a non-D1 school he's no good.....but wouldn't he have at least transferred to a bigger school if he was that good? If he was even concerned about the NFL? Couldn't he have played immediately after transfer b/c it's a non-D1 school?

But dude played his entire career against sub-par collegiate talent. While your school is the Alabama of Division 2, playing against mostly cupcakes. They got up for one game against an average D1 team every year or so. But week to week, he's throwing against DB's who probably have no chance at playing in the NFL. Dudes who were slow to break on the ball. D-lineman who were probably slow/unable to get off blocks, etc.

Anybody can look good at a combine throwing against the air.

Hope he pans out. But I just don't see the logic.

They're hoping to find their Roethlisberger.

 

[HarlemUSA]

Draft is over, does it matter anymore?

so because the draft is over we can't discuss his qualifications?

I don't even recall mentioning his draft status in my post.

All of your questions about him not going to a bigger school have proved to be meaningless. He was drafted #2 overall.

And to answer your question, his hype started shortly after the CFB season when he had a great senior bowl week.

Post me his NFL stats to PROVE my arguments as "meaningless"

He literally went from throwing just above high school talent to now elite DB's. He's literally gonna see guys who are 2-3x better than he faced in college.

If NDSU played Alabama or Oklahoma or Clemson.....how well do you think Carson Wentz would've played? Jared Goff looked like trash much of the year and it was ignored.

When they realized there wasnt no white qb good enough to be drafted in the first round

I'm saying it's meaningless in terms of his exposure and ability to get drafted, apologies for any confusion. There's been countless discussions here about Wentz being overhyped. What else needs to be said at this point?

 

[MikelArteta]

Combine and private workouts, dude is trash though.

Didn't even dominate friggin d2, if your big and white, why play d1 football and struggle against sec type defenses when you can go d2

 

[MikelArteta]

And dude is turning 24 this year, didn't even play a full season this year

Only had one full year starting

Just be white brehs

 

[Osmar]

under this logic Joe Flacco & Steve McNair shouldn't have been drafted.
