Why is Josh wearing the number 14???

[Franco_92]

This stat is a bit misleading, Mahomes would own the record handily if they didn't count 2018 as one full year for him because he got some mop up duty in the last week of the season

“If” might have, could have, should have, so in other words, Josh Allen has the record…,

He wore FITZ's number (not during actual game) on Prime a few weeks ago.   Hilarious.

Screw the Dolphins, but Marino did do it in the 80s when football was almost a different sport. Still extremely impressive

The stat isn’t misleading.   Its not “in his first 5 full seasons playing”.  Its the first 5 years in the league.  The fact that Mahomes didn’t play his first year doesn’t change that.   It’s probably why the record has stood so long - good players didn’t play in every game in their first 5 yrs.  It is what it is... a positive for the team and our QB, no need to diminish it.

Did you turn the t.v off before Josh went to the table to be interviewed by Fitz and co. after the Thursday night victory? Thats when he wore the 14 to show Fitz some love.

Yup you're spot on. While definitely impressive for sure, many will always say that about how the game was much different. The "in those days defenses were allowed to actually defend WRs"...also will hear the "QBs got hit in those days and now can hardly be touched".

 

While that has some truth to it, still it's impressive to do since it took all this time and only Josh was 1st to do it

No , the stat is not misleading. It’s EXACTLY what it says it is. Stats do not come with asterisks and/ or projections on what other players would have done if a. b. or c. happened. Mahomes was assigned the backup role by his coaches. If they thought he would break records as a rookie he would have played. There is no way to know what he would have/ might have done.

Okay Patrick. It’s a completely photoshopped graphic! If you’re going to take the time to create one (which I actually applaud) I’d think the creator would pick one of a THOUSAND images wear Josh is wearing his actual jersey.

I will never understand why people come here to post regular season statistical performance that, considering where the franchise is, having nothing to do with post-season performance.

 

And I say that completely believing Josh had won them the Divisional Round game last year.

 

Everyone knows that Josh is a franchise QB...we don't need to validate that concept anymore.

It is diminished a tick with full context though. Mahomes has superior touchdown production historically, per game, per game early in career etc.

I applaud the recognition. Marino is considered an all time great, but did virtually nothing in the postseason. If I recall correctly, his lone Super Bowl appearance was in his rookie year. That milestone has stood for a few decades.

The context is as follows : first 5 years in the league. Allen also did not have targets the likes of Kelce, Hill etc. It was Kelvin Benjamin, Robert Foster, Duke Williams etc. The record is what it states, not a projection of Mahomes stats.

You also don’t know that Pat Mahomes would’ve lit the world on fire If he didn’t get to sit and learn… Which is universally considered a good thing for a quarterback

 

Almost all Quarterbacks sat and learned from the bench back in the day… going from more recently in Eli and Rivers to back in the day joe Montana … even the bills tried getting Allen to sit 

 

The only thing we know is… Pats rookie year , Tyreek Hill said he looked like a bust… sucked … was terrible in camp… And he didn’t throw a touchdown in his only game he played… And he had to clean up mechanics

 

But for some reason you think he would’ve magically walked into the NFL The pat Mahomes, That got to sit and learn from a really good quarterback Alex Smith

 

Sitting and learning is what helped him reach his full potential

It would be close either way. Allen missed six games to injury his rookie year. We can play the 'If" game and wonder what Allen would be at if he played those six games. Also, what "if" Mahomes was injured his rookie year assuming he started that season. Then the numbers are close as well. But most of all, look at who was on that Chiefs roster Mahomes rookie season compared to all the guys on the Bills roster in Allen's rookie season who would eventually be out of the league the next season. That's the biggest handicap of all.

The stat isn't about being a franchise QB. It's about where he places among the all-time great franchsie QB's. And yes, stats like this along with super bowls and overall post season success will combine to determine his final ranking when all is said and done. I don't see anything wrong with posting this achievement.

It's still missing that both QB performed in vastly different eras.  It's like the people who look down and see MLB'ers who hit 500 homers in the 50s/60s and compare that to the juiced era.  As if there's no difference.   

 

Marino was doing this when people had backs running the ball 350+ times a season, defenders could destroy QBs and WR's, and teams generally didn't throw the ball like they do now.      

 

Now, the rules favor the passing offense and no one dares hit a QB.  We've seen how that gets flagged and PI is called far differently than it was in the mid-80s.  Ergo, passing records are easier.  

 

The other thing is, all of this is just symbolism over substance.  I doubt Josh is concerned with this "record" or that he's been QB for the AFCE winner these last 3 seasons after the franchise drought going back into the mid-90s.  It's a fan specific thing to highlight.  Means basically nothing.

Teams also played their base defense much more often which allowed heavy passing teams to get favorable matchups against LBs who were far less athletic for the most part than they are today as they were more run stoppers then.

 

You can go both ways on this, see?

okay. But take out Marino and Josh still had the most TD’s among his peers of the last 5, 10, 20 years.

 

Herbert likely will come very close to this record in two years. Burrow will probably be 10-15 or so TDs short.

I agree that Allen's weapons and team weren't as good early but it's not really relevant to my point, and even accounting for that it took allen until his 3rd year to approach the level mahomes stepped into the nfl at.

 

I know that the record is, technically as it is stated, Allen's, but its meaningless to me because it's a touchdown production in early career stat and mahomes' per game and total touchdown numbers are superior to Josh's, objectively

I don’t get these random milestones. Why 5 years? You can make a record for anything really. Like most past attempts over the course of 40 games. Who really cares?
