You can learn a lot about a team by seeing them practice, and let me tell you, the difference between the Cowboys and the Rams was night and day. Dak may be a game manager, but he also went 5 straight games with a passer rating of over 100 and Wentz is the definition of a game manager, they don't trust him to throw anything vertically and it shows. He's playing the role of Alex Smith and that's ok but let's not act like Wentz is going to throw his team back into any game when he can't even throw them to first downs to win a game up 10.

dude you are extremely wrong on them not trusting him to throw downfield. The Matthews pass was 54 yds with a perfect throw in the middle of two defenders.
He has had at least four 20+ "air yd" TD passes that were dropped, and they were perfect throws, not to mention the last throw of the Detroit game which was on the money, but Agholor didn't make a play for it. This is a much different offense than the old KC chief narrative that he is like Smith and a game manager. Doug P. is actually more innovative than Chip, and calls plays for Wentz to throw deep, just limited deep options. I understand if you're biased, but any football mind would completely disagree with you. Wentz is better than any rookie QB to date, and you'll see that throughout his career.
