It's funny, but everyone loved Allen's size and his ability to run the ball. Those two things now appear to be severely limiting his potential to be a great QB.

The careers/windows are much shorter and the declines happen QUICKLY. Careers of QBs that take hits like Allen are very short. Doesn't matter how "big" or "tough" you are. The defense is bigger and tougher.
