Is Josh being asked to do more than ever this year?

Josh is a generational, dual-threat QB. And being a QB means he touches the ball on every offensive play. So, it will always look like Josh is doing everything...because he is just that good at everything he does. 

 

Even if he had a team of all-stars around him, Josh would still be doing what he's doing. You just wouldn't be able to claim that it was because of a lack of talent around him.

 

 

P.S. Our talent-level is fine. Also, it was game one and Josh is still getting comfortable with his new weapons. Remember, Shakir was the only WR who had caught a pass from Josh in a game prior to Sunday. And as Josh said in his post-game interview, Keon was open in the end zone on one of his rushing TDs, but he decided to take it in himself. Maybe his competitive nature made him make that decision, because Keon was a rookie in his first game. But as they all get more comfortable with each other and the WRs keep making plays, Josh will trust his weapons more and more and not feel he has to do as much maybe.

Generational is right. 
 

I think this is the year the sports world realizes it. 
 

My prediction is most NFL stars have a down year in 2024 while Allen has an up year.

No.  He's always done what he is doing.  I think they ask him to do less and he doesn't know how to play any other way.

 

You mean Dorsey ??

Just seems like it's our franchise QB's 7th year and he's being asked to carry more of a load than ever (which is a lot). I know at a micro level people are excited about the win yesterday but this also seems like a mediocre roster overall that Josh is being asked to carry (as usual).

 

Thoughts?

 

 

if this topic wasn't posted a few times every season, you might be have been on to something

You know what we were replacing in Diggs was a guy who averaged 8.9 ypc his final 10 games here though right?  And while he got 2 short TD's, he still averaged just 5.5 ypc in his debut with Houston.  

 

He had 77.22% (61 of 72) snaps for Texans which is higher than he had in previous years (81.53% in 2023) but they tend to go down as season progresses.
