Happy 27th Birthday Josh Allen

[Doc Brown]

May all your wishes come true but particularly the one where you wish to host the Lombardi in a Bills uniform.

 

For those worried the Super Bowl window with him is probably over I'm just going to list some notable NFL QB's who won their first Super Bowl after turning 27.  Included only NFL players that are in HOF and/or were drafted in the top 32.  I excluded the first five Super Bowls because they may have won one before their age 27 season if they existed.  I also excluded Trent Dilfer because he's well Trent Dilfer.

 

Roger Staubach - age 29, Bob Griese - 27, Ken Stabler - 31, Jim Plunkett - 33, Phil Simms - 31, Steve Young - 33, Brett Favre - 27, John Elway - 37, Kurt Warner - 28, Peyton Manning -30, Drew Brees - 31, Aaron Rodgers - 27, Eli Manning - 31, Joe Flacco - 28, Matt Stafford - 34

Happy Birthday Josh! 

 

He’s only 27, and he’s still learning. The people who act like we are out of chances are just full of drama. I hate drama. Surround him with weapons and protect him. We have at least a decade of high level football to look forward to. Time will tell, and fingers crossed.

HB,JA!

Your post makes me wonder how many QBs have won a Super Bowl before the age of 27...

 

Anyways, Happy Birthday Josh!!!

 

So grateful you're our quarterback!

And players, especially QB’s, are just lasting longer and longer with better training and nutrition, etc. Josh can do that too, he just needs to adjust his style a bit and be more judicious in picking his spots.

Surely Eli won his first before 31?

I thought he was 27. Born January 1981; won Super Bowl XLII in 2008.

 

Great list, though, and point well made.

Fine but once he turns 28 it's over

[BuffaloBill]

He is getting “middle age” by NFL standards. Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks Doc.  This crap about Allen’s window is closing as well as the Bills is just that..  CRAP.  Elway’s Broncos finally won his last two years in the league.  Our window closes when Super Allen retires.  That will be about a bakers dozen years from now.

I like the feeling that our front office in now smart enough to be able to find the “next Josh” without letting a couple decades pass. I vote YES on a smart FO!

You not only believe Allen plays until he is 40, but at a SB winning level until that age?

[Buffalo_Stampede]

He’s getting old.

Excluding Trent Dilfer does not make sense. Like Ravens you are discounting what he did. Ravens did it and replaced him following year and the success was all due to their defense as many Ravens fans claimed was wrong.

Only after they brought in a new HC...

Considering how raw Josh was coming out of Wyoming I’d say his window is just now opening. We finally made some upgrades on the offensive line plus another 1st round target. It’s time!

On Jim Kelly's 27th birthday, he had played only 1 year in the NFL and didn't play in a Super Bowl until he was 30.
