Comparison between Russell Wilson and Dak

[waldoputty]

I dont normally watching any other team besides the Cowboys, unlike others e.g. @Trouty

How would you rate Dak vs. Russell Wilson in terms of:
Poise
Reading defenses
Accuracy
Arm
Toughness
Preventing mistakes
Running

Wilson seems more accurate on deep balls and probably sees the field a little better than Dak at this point. I think Wilson also has a stronger arm.

Dak hangs in the pocket more and is much less willing to run than Wilson.

I think Dak actually throws to the middle of the field better than Wilson and is much better on intermediate throws. Wilson is better on deep throws.

They are both intelligent QBs that don't seem to be prone to many mistakes.

They're both biracial. That's where the comparison begins and ends.

Thought they are similar in read option and talent?

Wilson has a better arm and quicker imo.

Dak is much bigger, doesn't go deep much, stays in the pocket more, runs a different offense, and doesn't have the arm strength or accuracy of Wilson.

A better comparison would be Carson Wentz.

Interesting thing that most people don't mention is Dak is 3 inches taller and 23 pounds heavier.

Since Dak's not running in the NFL, his size alone helps him. But people only compare them cause they kinda look alike and they were both drafted late, really.

Dak needs alot of work with his deep ball, but I see Dak having alot more potential than Wilson in the future (Wilson is about as good as he will be at this point).

This would be my opinion of Dak if I watched every game with duct tape on my eyes

FYI Russell Wilson isn't biracial. So thats not even a comparison

Seriously, I don't know why people keep comparing Dak Presscott to Russell Wilson other than because he's black. Dak is 6'2 and Russell is 5'11. Russel is a very fast finesse runner, while Dak is a slower power runner. They throw differently, they move in the pocket differently, etc.

Most importantly, Dak's play helps his defense, while Russell's defense helps his play.

I see no similarities between them at all.

If Russell Wilson is that much smaller, how has he handled hits and injuries?

I kind of feel Dak has a huge ceiling given how fast he appears to be improving.

He's multiracial.

Because he's built like a tailback.

Dak is Donovan if we have to compare. It's too clear when I watch him play.

Because they are both rookie QBs that came into the league running a lot of read option plays like the jet sweep, middle zone, and rollout to remarkable success. The offenses they run are extremely similar in my view.

 

[Tabascocat]

I see Dak closer to an Aikman type than Wilson. He stands tall in the pocket while showing very little panic.

 

[muck4doo]

They both don't like the 49ers.

 

[J817]

He's multiracial.

Majority of Americans are multiracial. All I know is he has two black parents. So comparing him to Dak's family background is inaccurate

 

[Tenkamenin]

They're both biracial. That's where the comparison begins and ends.

The best comparison to Dak is Big Ben.

If Jaylon Smith plays anything like Bobby Wagner.......
