Josh Allen is exactly what the Cowboys hope Dak will become

[Aven8]

I just wish we would run that offense. Get rid of the ball and go down the field. Instead we will get comebacks and verticals outside the hashes that take 5-6 seconds……

 

[Hadenough]

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.

That's about the best way to put things. So many here think Dak is going to finally make a leap to the next level but that's what you see from a young QB who's been in the league 2 or 3 years.

 

[Hadenough]

Prescott will never have the arm that Allen has or the running ability.

The difference between BUF and DAL is that BUF is not going to put it all on their QB, they will surround him with talent on both sides of the ball. They have a history of doing this and DAL has just the opposite.

Prescott is not Allen, Mahomes or probably Burrow, Herbert but he is a good QB and can get the job done with a team around him.

I disagree! Josh Allen has had garbage running backs until Diggs had nobody for WR. Allen's play has really inspired an already decent defense to a top tier defense.

i mean he’s had Diggs most of his time and Diggs arrival is kind of what catapulted Allen into top 10 discussion and let’s be real Allen is part of the running attack he literally had almost 800 yards
And they are designed plays he don’t need a top 5 back and the other 2 combined topped 1000

he does help the defense but they also help him. Buffalo is the epitome of a complete team

Dallas does it's homework and has been consistently strong in most player selections for directions in the past 5 years.

Also, Dak Prescott is committed to hard work and has pride...I refuse to limit a player to statistics and his own determination. That type of development is accumullated and team is developed to matching dynamics encountered.

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.

This is one of the strangest takes I have ever read.

Josh Allen plays with a top 3 WR and the Bills have built up the offense around him.
He's had an elite defense for years now.

Allen makes a ton of mistakes and misreads but has so much insane raw talent that is doesn't matter.
He throws into coverage and his arm plus WR talent make that a TD.
He misses reads but can shake off pass rushers and just go for 20 yards.

He tosses a pick and his defense simply gets the ball back two plays later.

Dak is a very different type player and athlete.
Dak is much farther along in the mental aspects of the game but has never been that naturally gifted,

Allen is 6'5..
Dak is 6'2

Allen has a bazooka arm...A+
Dak has an ok arm....B

Allen 40 time was 4.76
Dak 40 time was 4.79

Not that physical measurables are ever the bottom line.... especially with QBs. But just sayin'

 

[Ren]

Dak is Dak he's been around long enough he's not going to become anything else other than maybe a better Dak

 

[WarDaddy]

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.

What???? How is Josh Allen better than a prime Cam Newton? Cmon man. Cam was a phenomenon. Josh is really good and one of the best athletes in the league but Cam was next level. You could argue coaching took away from what he could have been. He was stuck with flippin Rivera during his prime years.

Josh Allen has been unleashed by great coaching. His career in another situation would be Carson Wentz.

Josh Allen is better than Newton ever thought about being.

Dak has probably reached his ceiling. It’s going to be very difficult for him to take it to another level with what he currently has around him on offense. We should get a pretty good idea tomorrow night what his and the teams chances are for having a good season.

 

[Cowfan75]

Other than Brady, and MAYBE Mahomes.... name the other quarterbacks who are actually earning their "big boy" max dollars..... last i checked, Dak is a quarterback who got paid. He got paid just like other quarterbacks with lesser production got paid.

So other quarterbacks can get paid, but Dak isn't supposed to in this qb market??? Lol... that doesn't make sense.

I said Dak did get paid and he doesn't play like a big boy. Other QB's are in the same boat. What are you trying to argue?

 

[LittleD]

Peaked as a rookie?

Dak threw for an average of 232 yards a game his rookie season? Is that what you call a peak?

What did he do in the playoff game...Yea...thats all that matters.

Gabriel Davis is much better than you think and they also had Beasley and Sanders last year. McKenzie would easily be our #3 if we got him.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

The thing that Dak must stop doing is throwing 4 yd passes on 3rd and 11

Dak is in his 7th season. He's 29 years old.

He already is what he will become.

 

[mmohican29]

Dak's a fine QB.

Believe it or not: if he wins a Super Bowl he is likely on a HOF trajectory. His overall stats are excellent.

But Josh Allen is a far greater QB talent.

We'll see when he is injured significantly and older...?

Lol Dak has seen periods of serious injury and recovery now...and an offensive line that has been hindered by pandemic and player injuries as well. It affects play selections throwing the ball and time to fully read plays.
