It’s probably why the record has stood so long - good players didn’t play in every game in their first 5 yrs.

Still extremely impressive 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 4 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: And for that one moment NOT during a game we now choose to depict Josh Allen as #14?

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 26 minutes ago, BillsVet said: 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.

The stat isn't about being a franchise QB. It's about where he places among the all-time great franchsie QB's.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
