I still remember his rookie year
Week 3, he was a 15pt underdog to the vikings and beat em straight up and knocked me out of my survivor pool.
A few weeks later, I was at the bills/fins game. Everyone predraft spoke how far he could throw but NOBODY mentioned that he could run. Holy cow he dominated the game and went for 100 yards on the ground.
He's been a dolphin killer since he's been in the league. At least we were able to beat Kelly and Thurman once in a while
I don’t think their defense is anything special, regardless of the game last night. They haven’t played good offenses aside from KC and Tennessee. They played well against KC, I’ll give them that
They have a lot to prove still. Don’t fall for the October statement win. They are gonna struggle to beat KC when it really matters IMO
But more on topic: Allen is good!
A lot of "hero ball" from him though.
I think, at this point, what separates the Cardinals from Buffalo or even Baltimore is that the QB has to run for the Bills or Ravens to be successful...the Cardinals have overcome that reliance and Murray can just hand-off and throw the ball and the team still can win. They have enough weapons so the threat of him running is enough. Baltimore, for instance, won't win if Jackson stops running.

He's not going to stop running, though......because he can't be stopped.
It should also be noted that there isn't as much reliance on his legs - even with the running back damage - because of his improvement from the pocket.
His MNF performance against the Colts is as good as a QB performance as we've seen this season. He did most of his damage carving the Colts up through the air, and not with his legs.
