He has until his first major injury to win a SB. After that it gets tougher.

I'd be more worried about a nagging shoulder injury with Allen. I think Allen has the skills to excel as a passer way more than Lamar (I.E., that ankle injury was so devastating for Lamar because it took out such a huge part of his game).
But the way Allen seeks contact as a runner makes him far more vulnerable for an upper body injury than Lamar. Lamar, for all of his criticisms as a runner, is much better at evading contact, whereas Allen seeks it out. We saw what a shoulder injury did to Cam, and that would be my concern when if I were a Bills fan watching Allen invite contact like he does.
Brady, as insufferable as he is, has offered that advice to Allen, too. Slides might be for less yardage in the short term, but they'd be what allows him to ensure he'd have an extended career.
