Why does Allen fumble so much running with the ball?

Needs Stickum.

because he's looking to pitch, shovel, or throw it on his way down %25 of the time. hahahaha

On GMFB they say it's "Sugar High Josh Allen" trying to make to much happen last year they referred to it as Josh trying to play "Hero Ball" or something like that .

Hopefully Allen is trending in the right direction. He cut the fumbles down a lot this year. Credited with 9 but remember one of those is really on Moss. He was a fumbling machine his first two years. Much less so this year. I'll take 8-10 fumbles a year with everything Allen gives us. Maybe that number will go even lower next year. Give him a mulligan on the Jets game where he had two fumbles right out the gate and it wasn't a bad year at all.

I think part of it is because he is such a fierce competitor that he doesn't want to give up on plays.  That plus another factors is that the other side identifies him as a fumbler and they work hard to knock it out of his grasp.

 

Yeah most QBs would have just taken the sack on the play where he fumbled and it would be over. Allen just will not give up though, it's great but can be an issue too. Just gotta accept that this can happen but he often breaks free and makes a huge play.
