Josh Allen injured

Looks like McDermott didn’t learn from his time with the Panthers about not riding his QB to the ground like Rivera did with Cam Newton.  Let’s hope he lets him fully heal and doesn’t allow him to play through an injury.

Yes the injury didn’t occur on a running play but we know the cumulative effect hits can take on a shoulder and elbow.  Allen was running way too much last night.  This may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. At least he’s not targeted like Cam was by defenders and doesn’t have refs against him either.

Dude, that was a freak play/injury that had nothing to do with wear and tear. That defender trying to knock the ball loose bent his elbow about 20 degrees the wrong way at game speed. Just look at his arm:

Just terrible luck in this case. 

this is the issue that the Bills were working on with him prior to last season...  his throw starting position is too low. They were working with him to keep the ball high and tight, and using his hips more to throw the ball. Allen is a generational talent, but injuries like this can end that just as fast as it started.

Dude did you read my post? You must be the same who thinks Cam only blew out his arm on the TJ Watt hit.  These hits catch up and make a QB more vulnerable to long term injury.  Allen is trying to run over and thru people

damn that is a rough injury for a QB…might’ve ruined him depending on how bad it is…what a shame

Yeah, it all adds up. He may have thrown a bomb after  this happened but these injuries can cause an arm to get severely fatigued over time.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
