Josh Allen Taking Hits

[KeLLy1278]

When is enough, enough already?  He takes off running during busted plays and the coaches call his number instead of handing it off on many occasions.  He keeps taking hits to his sides, legs and so forth.  So far he hasn’t taken many hits to his head (as far as I could tell) but it is inevitable.  
 

This HAS to change if we want this guy to be around for years to come.  Fans just laugh and laugh because he’s still relatively healthy.  Those same fans will cry and complain if he gets knocked out for the year.

You’re wrong. The offense is better when Josh runs. Redzone is easier when Josh runs. We are trying to win games.

Oh I see.  Have fun when he takes a hit that he doesn’t get up from.  Try “winning games” then.  Allen can win using his arm instead of his legs.  

Long term success > winning a few games

Have you seen Mike White in the pocket today?

Yes I have.. and the point I am trying to make here is as simple as it gets.  Josh Allen needs to stop taking unnecessary hits.  If he doesn’t, we can kiss this team’s future good bye sooner rather than later.

Josh Allen is a running QB. That is not going to change.

[Nextmanup]

Let him run.  It's a huge part of his game.

 

And hope he doesn't get hurt.

OP this is the modern NFL. QBs run. Thats just how the game is played. 

Did you see how Mike White got hurt? 

Do you remember how Josh hurt his elbow?

Let it go. Running Josh in designed plays or scrambles is fine.

Unless the hits are affecting his accuracy?

Today it was the only thing that was working against this wide 9.  Left the middle open for runs.

 

Take Allens runs away, doubt they win today.

So him taking shots to his sides are fine.  All right well..  there you have it folks.

His answer when asked about it. 
 

“It was a first down.”

Mike white needs to take off running more as well they should reverse roles

Say what?

[zevo]

Do we need one of these every week. It’s what he does

[Gambit]

Do I like him taking big hits? Ofc not. With that said, his injuries have come from inside the pocket.
