I just question his durability and accuracy more than anything. 59.5% completion percentage. If he hovers around that percentage again or the low 60's I just don't see that team doing much outside of playing catch up and relying on his legs too much to make plays. 

If his AC joints are already susceptible to injury? What does that mean for his long term future as a passer? How long before he tries taking off downfield and eats a helmet to the knee or gets his ankle rolled up on while staying in the field of play? 

QB's like him are fun and terrifying to watch at the same time. I don't know how Bills fans do it with Josh Allen and Ravens fans do it with Lamar Jackson. I would wince anytime they took off and ran with it.

There's this weird vibe around here where they are completely cool with it and basically yell at the TV if Josh DOESN'T carry the ball. Until he fumbles and then they scream he should learn to be more patient. But they do live in this bubble that nothing bad can happen to him bc he's big.
