I'm starting to get the feeling that Josh Allen will be the next Dan Marino.

Marino was the best QB of his time, but he never won the big one. Some blamed him, I blamed it on the team around him. Sure there were games Marino didn't come up big in the playoffs, but the problem is that his team never picked him up either. Marino willed the Dolphins to victory many times over his career, the problem is that if Marino didn't have a good game, the team always came up short. A QB needs help from his team. When your QB has a tough game, his team needs to step up their game, not fold to the pressure of having to win it without a terrific game from their QB. If it weren't for Marino, the Dolphins wouldn't have made the playoffs half the years they did. That doesn't mean he wasn't good enough, that means the team around him wasn't. If Allen doesn't carry the Bills to victory, they aren't winning.

Joe Montana was playing at the same time as Marino so I don't agree your premise.  But I do agree putting everything on the QB rarely is successful.  I would rather have a great defense and an okay QB than a great QB and an okay defense.

Josh Allen is another Cam Newton.

Even Montana says Marino was the best be ever saw, still says it to this day.

As do Peyton and Elway.

This is gamesmanship from Montana.  He knows he already won the comparison against Marino, so he says "Marino" to keep other people from saying "Brady."

Put Marino in today's league and he would easily throw for 7500 passing yards and 75 TDs.

LOL ... I'd say your premise is wrong given that Joe himself has openly said Dan Marino was the best QB in NFL history on several occasions. He often touted how Dan could do things no other QB could and that if he played today, he would have been even better.
