Josh running out of time?

[oldmanfan]

Folks keep talking about Josh running out of time to win a championship.  Here’s a link to ages of all SB winning QBs:

 

 

 

Lots of older guys, some younger guys.  I think the average age is around 31.  
 

So he’s got plenty of time.  He will likely not be as much the runner, but that’s OK.

I think some senior citizen got confused and wandered on to the Buccaneers and won it at a much older age than even 31.

Josh is 28 next season. Very few people on that list past 32 or 33. Very few.  4-5 years left to get it done sort of adds a bit more urgency dontcha think?

John Elway needed Terrell Davis. I like Cook but he's not someone defenses have to account for. We need a weapon at RB that motivates opponents to put 8 in the box

Jim Kelly was 30 when he played in his first Super Bowl.

It's his playing style, he can become more of a pocket passer as he ages, but what makes him Josh is his legs. 

[Buddy Hix]

Josh will go down as a great QB regardless of whether he wins one or not. I really hope Josh gets one because 13 secs will always feel like a missed opportunity due to McChoke’s blunders.

I honestly had no idea this was the case.

Earlier today, the following thought flashed through my mind: "We have Josh Allen." I didn't forget per se, but it was like realizing I had won the lottery.

 

I'm incredibly optimistic about the Buffalo Bills, even if Allen "only has 5 more years". Go Bills.

I would like to see “this” version of Josh win, not a crippled Payton Manning version with a broken neck that can only throw the ball 10 yards down the field.

 

McD remembers that Payton Manning. He lost to him. Sad!

Josh is good and will be good for a while
 

But

 

Somewhere on the way here the team has got to figure out that the only way we’re gonna win a Super Bowl is whenever the team around Josh Allen plays up to his level at least for three games

[Chaos]

Since there is no rush to win, I think a good idea would be to have a couple of "raffles" each year, where the winner gets to call the plays for the game that week.   This would give hundreds of thousands of people the chance live out their dream of coaching an NFL game.  This seems much fairer than selfishly worrying about one guy winning a super bowl before he has reached the appropriate age.

Why do you say that about Cook? Can you back it up at all?

If Josh doesn’t win one in the next 4-5 years, this board will likely have exploded by then.  So I agree with you, there is some urgency here.

[Ya Digg?]

I guess the existential question is - aren’t we all??

He averaged 66 yards a game on the ground. He's a good player just not a threat that opponents have to game plan for.

So the other day I was on Spotrac looking at some Bills contracts. Looked at Josh. Then the thought hit me. What if Josh gets Really frustrated here. He could force a trade out of here in 2026 when he's 30. Even easier the following year

I don’t know the circumstances that will lead to it but i’ve always thought he’d be playing for the 49ers or Rams by his early 30’s.  But hey he’s gonna give it his all for the Bills in the prime years of his career, especially his running like a madman years.

Agree....Cook can have some good games but his inability to hold onto the ball is a huge problem. Between fumbles and dropped (4) tds, we'll see what improvement comes?
