Burrow the Next Andrew Luck

He has missed only 4 games in his NFL career, all back in 2018, despite sometimes putting his shoulder down and ramming into defenders to gain the extra yardage.

Allen's injury outlook is "very low risk," while Burrow, who is not a running QB, is listed as "high risk."

They're coming for Allen. Heck, he played (poorly) with a torn elbow for a big chunk of last year. Cam Newton only missed 5 games/6 starts his first 8 seasons. After that his career was basically over, though. 

The hits still add up no matter how absurd their body is and it'll end up with a much shorter career than the 15-20 that a QB can potentially have. I'm a Hurts fan, but he's going to have the same problem but doesn't have the absurd superhuman body of a Newton or Allen to push it off for more years.
