With Dak Prescott fighting to a mega deal that he wants, it has brought up the conversation on whether if he is better than Carson Wentz.
Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick in 2016, signed a four-year extension worth $128 million and $107.9 million in guarantees last year.
Dak has reportedly turned down a new contract worth $33 million annually with $105 million guaranteed.
On Tuesday, ESPN sports personality Domonique Foxworth got social media buzzing when he ripped Carson Wentz and laid out a couple of things for why Prescott is superior.
“Dak is better than Carson Wentz,” Foxworth said on ESPN’s Get Up show. “There’s no statistical category where you can look at it and say, ‘Carson Wentz — none of the important ones anyway — where Carson Wentz is better than Dak. He’s better at just about everything.”
