Josh Allen is exactly what the Cowboys hope Dak will become

Will become?

I'm not as anti-Dak as most are here, but this is year 7 of this. Dak is who he is.
There is nothing wrong with Dak right now. If he wins a ring playing like this no one should care how good he is compared to Josh Allen or whatever other overrated QB.

If you want a Josh Allen, then let's tank 0-17 for a couple of years and hope Jerry picks the right guys. Other than that, every team wants a Josh Allen.

Yes and let's not ignore the fact the Bills haven't had a QB since Jim Kelly. Sure we haven't done anything noteworthy, but the Bills have spent a decade or two getting rolled by the Pats twice a year. Honestly, they had crap for 18 years straight. That's right 18 years littered with 4-12, 6-10 etc. Bills fans suffered to get to this point.

7th year in the league. Do people think before they post?

Dak doesn't have the strong arm like Allen, nor is he as punishing a runner, but he could help this offense immensely if he would go back to using his legs.

yeah, if you think those minor qualities are important……nobody commands a huddle like Dak can

The teams that should be crying about their QB not being Josh Allen are the teams that passed him up in 2018 that still need a QB. Cleveland passed Allen up twice and he’s better than Deshaun Watson who they gave up the farm for. The Giants passed up Josh Allen and chose Saquon Barkley and look at the boat they’re in right now. Lol Indianapolis and Denver passed up Josh Allen. Dak doesn’t have to be Josh Allen for the Cowboys to win a championship.

Allen did Tom Brady like things last night but added the running, which if I was BUF would insist he stops doing! The days of Dak running are long over, and that is a huge part of Allen's game for now......I just fear what can inevitably happen to him

I do not believe that the Bills have better weapons than what Dak has had in the past but Allen has elevated the talent with his play. While in Dallas, I do believe we overrate our talent, I believe Amari Cooper, Lamb, Gallup, Schultz, Zeke are much better weapons than what Allen is working with.

It's simple: If you want to get paid the big boy bucks, you have to play like a big boy.

Allen is better because of his ability to run with the ball.

other then that he has much more than dak. Better coaching, much better line and then the biggest difference is the best defense in the NFL.

He will never be more than a backup … that’s all he is. When the pressure is on he wilts…

This was just another excuse for Cz to hype up their favorite little qb. The other being Justin Herbert. Weak

Dak isn’t and never will be on the same level as Josh Allen.
Cowboys front office may dream of that becoming a reality one day, but it’s a pipe dream.

We all know what Dak is at this point. He is not going to reinvent himself in year 7.

yet cowboys offense has been better the last two years over Allen’s offense.


But let’s be honest. You have no clue what we have in dak. You have been off on that since day 1

Exactly right.

They think he is some prolific pocket passer and he isnt.

He is a pretty good QB that is used incorrectly.

But, since they wasted his rookie deal on trying to create the perfect puppet HC, they have to try to feature him to justify the contract.
Dak is an incredible pocket passer. The numbers show that clearly.

I disagree; At this point Cowboys want Dak to continue being Dak.

How many QBs after 7 years in the league and becoming 30 years old suddenly change into different QBs? This is Dak. You can win with Dak as long as you accept everything he is as well as everything he isn’t.

Josh Allen is twice as physically talented as Prescott, and his understanding of the game is catching up.

Dak is pretty damn smart, but he doesn't really have any above-average athletic traits except for rushing power. He was a plus athlete, but lost that edge to injury.

Dak actually reminds me a lot of a mid-career Donovan McNabb, if McNabb never lost his self confidence and didn't let Philly grind him down.

OTOH, Josh Allen is like the best possible version of Cam Newton, like if Cam grinded on his flaws and wasn't content with throwing 58% completions every season.

you qb challenged fans are hilarious.

Why would t you want your qb to continue to be a top 10 talent?

The person I was responding to wanted more than that. But to answer your question, maybe some feel Good Enough just isn’t good enough?
Top 10 is plenty good enough. Lucky to have a top 10 qb.

it’s Allen’s oline we need. His coaching, his defense.
People that understand football realize this.

crying that you don’t have Tom Brady or Josh Allen is what clowns do.

more to football than just qb play.

#1 reason bills won that game was their defense. Shut down rams and held them to 10 points.
I came away wishing for their online a d defense. Put dak on that bills squad and they are a top 3 team no question.
