Tom Brady left at 40 to chase one more Super bowl victory 

 

He didn't leave at 30

That’s true, just trying to show the modern NFL doesn’t favor any elite QB staying with the same team forever. I can’t name any who did from the 2000’s onward. Big Ben I guess.

Big Ben 

 

Another small school college quarterback who went to a rust belt City

Very true, and it’s likely possible. I’d just never say there’s no way Josh would leave.

If you don’t already know that Josh ain’t going anywhere, you just haven’t been watching him on and of the field closely enough. Maybe in his twilight grey beard year(s) or something…

Elway , Favre and Staubach all played until their late 30s and still were great. They all took way more punishment. It's not close.

 

Elway at age 38 had one of his best years 

Favre at age 40 had probably his best year, and that was after multiple shoulder surgeries on his throwing arm

 

Not saying Allens athletic ability won't diminish, but he'll still be great around age 37,38 possibly til 39 or 40. 

 

His QB cycle won't be different from any of the guys I listed 

 

All valid and fair points. I guess my reply was more around the main thread title will Allen stick around for another rebuild. I personally say yes as I think he likes it here. Also, we have him nailed down regardless how he feels for 8 more yrs. Trust me I hope he plays until 45. I can just see his style of game play lasting another 8 yrs is all.

Matt Ryan

Drew Brees (2006-2020) after a few years with Chargers

Eli Manning 

Dack prescott has been with Dallas for 10 years.  See if he goes anywhere.

I think Josh needs to a bit more vocal about the direction the team is heading. Jim Kelly would've let his feelings known rather clearly

The same Jim Kelly that almost signed with Baltimore  after retired so he could reunite with Marchibroda.

If Allen wanted to win he would have to play for the veteran minimum so Beane could sign FAs after his draft picks inevitably bust.

Matt Ryan went to the Colts. He was washed by then but he went. Eli is one.

As I said Big Ben is a small school Mid-Atlantic conference quarterback who stayed his entire career in a rust belt City 

 

And basically all the other guys left when they had one or two years left 

 

Josh is years and years away from that point

Why haha? Teams trade franchise qbs because they are completely washed or they are starting to be. And if it ever does happen, you rebuild your franchise like the Lions did with the Stafford trade. 

 

He's still in his prime.  There's a ZERO percent chance they trade him any time soon.  

 

4 years from now, at 33 years of age, the thought becomes more realisitic if Buffalo is still spinning its wheels, but everyone knows how difficult it is to obtain a true franchise guy so I wouldn't bet on it.
