LockeJET Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Having a debate with a buddy of mine. I’m just curious what others think. If you are starting a team, which quarterback are you taking? Who’s the better QB of the 2? While Allen is certainly dynamic, he’s nowhere near the pocket passer Burrow is. Allen can play from the pocket but if you can slow him down on the ground, he becomes mistake prone in the air. I’d take Burrow all day long. What say you?

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'd rather Burrow. Just think he's a better passer overall. His accuracy is absurd. And QB swag for dayzzz. Sign me up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Werblin Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I do think the Josh Allen has made some really great plays, but he is also more prone to bad plays than other QBs who are considered elite. Also, I'm not sure what his career thus far would look like if you took away his threat as a broken play runner. But, for this game, and at this point of their careers, I take Allen for his ability to turn nothing into something with his legs. In 2 to 3 years, I'd probably switch to Burrow.

derp Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Long term, probably Burrow. You're splitting hairs here which makes it a fun question. I trust his pocket management lasting a while more than Allen's freakishness, think Allen maybe ends up going on a different version of the Roethlisberger trajectory and can last a while just as a tough to sack dude. And love Burrow's intangibles, not that Allen's are anything to sneeze at, but whatever the it factor is with athletes Burrow's definitely got it.

extmenace Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Burrow. Josh Allen’s legs make it easier for him to pass. His style of play won’t age as well. While both guys are very good right now and are top 5 guys, when Allen’s rushing abilities start to fall off, his overall effectiveness will as well.

Beerfish Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Both are great but it is my feeling that Burrow requires a better supporting cast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can throw really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think you can win a chip with either guy. Josh Allen has a tendency to get into multi-turnover games so I'd prefer Burrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other issue I still have with Allen is I constantly worry about him getting hurt. He runs a lot and seems to take a lot of big hits and people forget that he did have a concussion his rookie season. He gets one more of those, and all of a sudden, you are going to want to seriously consider limiting his carries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Truth Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Burrow is a better technical passer, reminds me of a Montana with a better arm. Allen is a Favre gunslinger with a bigger body and running ability. Its pick you poison. Out of the two, I go with Burrow as he is the better passer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Josh Allen is a threat to get you points with his arm and his legs. He's got 38 rushing touchdowns since coming into the league, and averages almost 8 rushing touchdowns a season. Points matter in this league. If you combine regular season and playoffs he's scored 39 rushing touchdowns and 155 passing touchdowns. All together that's 194 rushing/passing touchdowns divided 83 career starts with the Bills, which is an average of 2.34 touchdowns per start by ground or air. Looking at Burrow, in 47 career starts for the Bengals in the regular season and playoffs combined, he has 11 rushing touchdowns and 88 passing touchdowns. That's 99 career touchdowns for Burrow in 47 starts for an average of 2.11 touchdowns per game. Burrow is more of a pure passer, but if you're asking me to split hairs and pick one of them to build a team, I'd go with Josh Allen over Joe Burrow because I think he's built like Favre in terms of not missing games. Lastly, Josh Allen isn't as dangerous as Favre, who's INT percentage was much worse than Josh Allen's especially in the playoffs. With all that said, I'm taking the Bengals this week over the Bills. It's a teams sports, and I think the Bengals are the better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking Allen (What I wanted when we drafted Darnold) but realistically they are both very good. I lean Allen because he's built like a tank and is durable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The doltfins did pretty well containing Allen. He has to be kept in the pocket and hopefully one guy will get to him. I don’t think I’ve seen a game where he wasn’t strip sacked. As for burrow, good passer. Of the two I think Allen has the edge because of his running ability.

TuscanyTile2 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Can I answer this question after Sunday's game? To me, these 2 guys are in the tier below Patrick Mahomes. I'm ready to put Trevor in this tier as well, btw. Herbert might be a tier below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Will be interesting to see what Allen looks like within 5 years as his body takes a beating due to his playing style and he can’t run around and shed tackles like he used to. If he has to stay in the pocket, he’s not that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Both are awesome ... I feel like maybe its Burrow .. mainly because of his accuracy and consistency.. Josh seems a little more prone to the untimely turnover.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
