This is absolutely a legitimate concern. Playing like he did last week every single game is not sustainable for the future. He IS going to get hurt. He IS going to wear down physically. They have been running him balls-to-the-wall for a few years now because he'd prefer to allocate resources to the defense, and it's only a matter of time before we look up and realize that Allen is completely spent.
This may need a ***HOMER ALERT***, but I'm 40, have been watching football since I was like 6, and I'm pretty sure that, in a vacuum, he's the best all-around player I've ever watched.
We won because Murray inexplicably missed a wide-open Harrison for a sure TD and because Ingraham thankfully wasn't called for PI on the last Arizona play. It's not like McDermott's strategy over the last three minutes was integral to success.
I thought they should've gone for it, but it was clear that McDermott was playing for three, which I thought was the more egregious decision in that scenario.
Ever since they limited practices and shortened preseason, the first few weeks of the regular season have been filled with these brutal-to-watch games where neither team has any rhythm whatsoever.
His Wonderlic score was literally three times better than Jackson's, and that's why he was able to read complex defenses and throw the ball further than five yards from the line of scrimmage!
Nothing about it is wrong. Manning is one of the most clutch QBs of all time. Jackson chokes in every big game he plays in and can't read defenses. His MVP award last year was a complete joke.
