This week’s big Falcons question: What’s to be done with Josh Allen?

Josh Allen is a rare quarterback. His physical tools and promise got him drafted seventh overall back in 2018, but the fear was that he would be like many quarterbacks who came before him who had shaky completion percentages in college and weren’t able to succeed in the NFL.

Allen hasn’t just succeeded, though, he’s become one of the NFL’s more dangerous quarterbacks. This year, he’s third in the NFL in touchdown passes, seventh in passing yards, and second in percentage of dropbacks sacked, which all tells you how effectively he operates as a passer. He’s also 29th in the entire NFL in rushing yards, behind only Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson at the quarterback position, and has cashed in another four scores with his legs.
