transplantbillsfan Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Ironic, isn't it? Allen is #1 in the NFL with 71 consecutive starts. Justin Herbert has 39, Trevor Lawrence and Pat Mahomes tied for 3rd at 34. Rodgers 4th with 25. Take what you will from this. I want Josh to protect himself more, but I think all the fear mongering "he's about to fall off a cliff the way Cam Newton did!" is wildly overblown by the likes of National pundits like Cowherd and folks on this board. I want Josh to be a little more careful while still letting Josh be Josh. 10 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His competitive nature is too strong to even compromise any change. If anyone hopes he changes, it's the LBs and DBs he's already faced, especially the ones he's hurdled 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a similar playing style so maybe he is a cautionary tale. However, the reality is the Bills don't really have a choice. They have to let Josh be Josh and hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Newton. The best they can do is build up the o-line, find WR's that can separate quickly, find effective short yardage running backs, and keep hammering into Josh's head to not put his body on the line unless it's absolutely necessary. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Kinda misleading cause he played through an injury most QBs woulda missed at least one game with. And didn't he also play through injury a couple seasons back? So yeah the streak is cool but he still get hurt and his play suffers as a result. I love his toughness but not sure if this #1 streak means what it looks like. 2 4 4 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Josh would benefit from sliding a bit more, but he is durable and has improved over the years. He was certainly more reckless in 2018 and 19, but I’ve observed improvements.

Playing through injuries and not missing games is a trait displaying physical toughness and of course lots of luck in avoiding catastrophic injury. There’s been plenty of big men in the NFL, Allen is a monster who also happens to have a burning desire to be on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok but suffering an injury that caused the second half season offense to look totally different doesn't do the team any favors. My point was, if he missed one game after the week 9 injury, which would have been reasonable, he wouldn't have this streak and in that case where does his #1 ranking fall on the "most durable list" having just a 9 game streak currently??? 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking hits in your 20's is one thing but taking them in your 30's or even 40's if Josh can play that long is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Bottom line, Josh's injuries have come in the pocket, not on the run. So for all you lamenting that Josh runs too much, go say a prayer at ST. FU for his continued safety, while the rest of us bask in the glory that is Josh Allen, with the football, in the end zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
