Question About Josh Allen’s Elbow

[78thealltimegreat]

If you’ve ever watched baseball pitchers even on their off days they often wear sleeves to keep the elbow joint loose this is an entirely normal process. 

He is probably being super careful with his arm and I don’t blame him. Keeping it warm and constantly working on range of motion as he gets up in years is key to longevity.

Maybe it's just me, but his elbow looks sore in that video.

Some of the other players in that video are also wearing long sleeves (Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty, Trent Sherfield, a couple of guys who are standing around and I can't see their #s).  Let's start worrying about their elbows, too.

Even if that’s the case, why wear long sleeves exclusively? Could the elbow be taped and he doesn’t want people to see?

I actually think the long sleeve shirts coincides with going to fully padded practices.

Considering the history of sprained elbows he probably should wear a compression sleeve all the time anyway.  I think fans should assume that his arm strength will diminish over time like most QB's not named Brady/Rodgers.   Because he takes a ton of hits and has had more shoulder/collarbone/elbow injuries than you'd like to see.   That stuff is likely to add up.   Until he starts getting committed to self preservation/longevity at a level like Brady or even Rodgers I'm not going to be penciling him in as QB1 in 2033.

How many shoulder/collar bone injuries has Josh had since college?

 

And if you’re going to come back with “none that were publicly reported” just keep it to yourself.

Imagine if he had a working elbow!

[rusty shackleford]

I think he has been wearing pants to hide a groin injury suffered in the off season too.

Based solely off the off season rumor market, if any body part of Josh Allen's causes the Bills anguish this year...it won't be his elbow.

You call yourself a degenerate or "degenerative" gambler and you don't know how to look this stuff up?   That's idiot level online intelligence........I mean you have some limitations but I don't think you are THAT dumb.  And why does it matter if serious injuries/surgeries happened in HS/college/pro's specifically?   The slate doesn't get wiped clean........they can add up.    Allen has had two UCL tears to his throwing elbow since 2018.........that isn't an every QB occurrence.    You know that right?

Could it be that?  Sure, but I highly doubt it.  These guys are used to the temperature, and it does help your muscles stay "warm".  Some of those shirts are even designed to absorb sweat and actually keep you cooler than if you had short sleeves.  It could be any number of reasons, but I doubt that it's to try to hide anything.

I agree with this as far as a compression sleeve.

[drumizen]

Probably also trying to avoid further elbow contusions. Adds some extra padding. Look at how his elbows were bleeding towards the end of last year. Unfortunately, may be something he deals with forever.

[Starr Almighty]

Here's a thought. Now hear me out. He plays in Buffalo where it tends to be cold. He will wear sleeves most of the time. Perhaps he just wants to throw the ball wearing what he would usually wear during a game. Most athlete's are creatures of habit.

[FLFan]

So now we have to just make up stuff to be concerned about?  How long until opening day?  Can’t come soon enough.

So the answer is that Josh has had no shoulder/collar bone injuries since college, which means at least 6-7 years ago, but you felt it necessary to mention those injuries because of the "they add up" factor.  Got it.

 

Did you know that Aaron Rodgers (whom you mentioned in your earlier post) fractured his right (throwing) clavicle twice, in 2013 and 2017?  Have those injuries "added up" to where he can't throw the ball well any more?  He has also had three concussions, the last in 2018.

 

Per usual, you make up stuff and exaggerate to try and prove your point.  We know you are on a crusade that Josh Allen doesn't protect himself well enough, despite the fact his two most significant injuries occurred in the pocket.

 

The question asked in this thread is whether or not Josh's elbow is still an issue.  None of us know that, but by all accounts he is "slinging it" just like we've come to expect.

I have it on good authority that Kim Pegula does, in fact, have two elbows.
