Lance done for season... pay attention Josh

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

It takes a split second to change everything.

It takes a split second to change everything.

Truth.

I'm not comfortable with all the "But look at Josh Allen running" comments I see on other team boards.

[Novacane]

Sucks for him. Good for the 49ers.

[Woodman]

Wow that was fast.

[Typ0]

Truth.

I'm not comfortable with all the "But look at Josh Allen running" comments I see on other team boards.

Shanahan defended his play call in the presser by referring to the dumb ass way the Bills are running Allen all the time.

[Novacane]

I have nightmares of Josh limping off the field.

All of this worry is pointless. A collapsed pocket with all those bodies twisting is just as or more dangerous.

[Topas]

Lance got injured in the pocket, did he?

No.

Agreed. But put another way, a collapsed pocket with all those bodies twisting is dangerous enough. No need to keep upping the chances for injury by playing like a running back.

Hell, if you watched the first 2 Baltimore games, you'll notice even Lamar isnt running as much (yes he did have that 1 80 yard scamper yesterday), but he's not taking as many chances.

Hypothetical fear.

Enjoy the game. It's a contact sport.

[Buffalogic]

Just take the inside designed runs away for the regular season.

[Bill Cody]

It's just not that hard to SUBSTANTIALLY reduce the risk.

[Saratoga Slim]

It's just not that hard to SUBSTANTIALLY reduce the risk.

This is my point. Slide on the 50% of runs where it doesn't really matter if we get two extra yards, and his risk of getting hurt while scrambling is reduced by half. Don't take hits just for fun.

The choice is stay in pocket and get twisted up or take off and see the safety in front off you. Now this is where I have a problem… SLIDE.

Every player on every play risks injury. Lance was just unlucky.

Josh cannot play scared.

That's simplistic.

Monstrous huge difference between playing scared and being judicious in a contact sport.

Pretty sure bubble wrap isn't legal otherwise I'd be in favor

QB's are protected in the pocket by the rules. Defenders can't go low and they are subject to roughness calls at the drop of a hat. That's how a guy like Brady can survive 22 years with one serious injury. Similar for Manning. Once the QB leaves the pocket and scambles or runs those rules no longer apply unless the QB slides. Josh runs a lot and he rarely slides. IMO this is foolish. It's not a question of if this will catch up to him it's when.

Sure he can get injured anyway but if we want to play that game accountants occasionally get hurt at work but less frequently than say a guide that takes packs of nitroglycerin bottles down a rocky mountainside riding a donkey. It is possible to reduce his odds of serious injury with some very obvious and much needed changes in strategy.
