Insane stat re: Josh Allen rushing TD's.........

[Special K]

Josh Allen now has 72 career rushing TD's.....the only active player, not QB, but player in the NFL right now that has more rushing TD's than Josh is Derrick Henry with 112.

 

Just crazy to think that a QB who is one of the best in the league throwing the ball, is also unrivaled in rushing TD's among almost everyone active in the league right now!!

 

No doubt he will surpass 100 rushing TD's before his career is over!

 

Go Bills!!!

[RyanC883]

he's the best QB in NFL history, IMO.  And if you don't want to go that far, fine,  clearly the best "dual threat" QB.   As you said, amazing runner and thrower.  That pass to Moore yesterday was nuts (one of the few plays I saw on TV as opposed to heard on radio).

Assuming he can get 50 more rushing TDs,he will end his career top 5 ALL TIME

Moore's pass was amazing but that throw to Kincaid for the long gainer where he pumped, reloaded, stepped up and around and then uncorked an absolute laser that hit Kincaid perfectly in stride between two defenders crossing near field on the run was unreal as well.

I have to admit being so pampered by Josh's talent that plays like that are no longer a surprise.

Been monitoring that for a while. 52 will have him 3rd all-time (although Henry might get there). He would be ahead of/ Allen, Peterson, Brown, Faulk, Dickerson, Riggins, Sanders,and Payton (plus many others).

You would think Hurts the TD thief would have more.  

[Blackbeard]

Huge credit to Moore for reeling that one in.  That fall had to have hurt!

 

That could've been the biggest/most important catch of his career!

he's averaging more per game than josh is

Currently Josh has 72 rushing TDs (in 7-1/2 seasons, 118 starts), he is averaging 10.37 rushing TDs per season (counting starts only).

 

Currently Jalen has 60 rushing TDs (in 5-1/2 seasons, 74 starts), he is averaging 13.78 rushing TDs per season (counting starts only).

 

If they both stay healthy and their averages maintain as they are, Hurts would pass Josh for number one in rushing TDs in the last game of the 2028 season (3-1/2 years from now). As far as health, Hurts has missed 8 games in 5.5 seasons, Josh has missed only 1 game over the same span. So, if that trend continued about the same, it might take Hurts until mid-way through the 2029 season (about 4 years from now) to pass Josh in rushing TDs (if everything else basically stayed stats quo).

 

I thought people were saying that Josh had already passed Cam Newton, but it looks as if Cam had 75 rushing TDs, so Josh would still need 3 more for the tie and 4 more to take over first place---I expect that will happen soon (this season).

 

As far as post-season, Hurts is in 9th place all-time with 10 playoff rushing TDs---the most of any active player. Josh has 7 post-season rushing TDs---tied with Mahomes, Henry, Hunt, and Aaron Jones (as far as active players). Josh would need 10 more post-season rushing TDs to take the franchise record (Thurman has 16 post-season rushing TDs---tied with Franco Harris for 2nd all-time, behind only Emmittt Smith))---that would also move him into 2nd place all-time, if he were to do that (and Hurts didn't pass him in the meantime). But 10 more post-season TDs is a lot, considering only 9 players in NFL history have 10 or more playoff rushing TDs in their careers.

He is pretty underrated as a player, all things considered.

 

Would love to see a blind poll of all GMs on who they would take if they had the first pick in a hypothetical draft pool of all current NFL players. My guess is that everyone outside of KC would take Allen, and the Chiefs would think long and hard about taking him too.

I was running the numbers today:

 

he has never had a season under 6 rushing TDs.

 

past two seasons have seen him score 15 and 12 TDs respectively.

 

this year he is already at 7 in 8 games

 

there is no reason to think he won’t do 10+ each year for the next 3-4 seasons.

 

not only do I think he will make it to 124, he may reach 140

There is a world, albeit unlikely, where he has the most rushing TDs ever. It would require him to play another 10ish years and keep going att the current rate. He’s 92 away. Let’s say he gets 5 more this year (feels reasonable). That would have him at 77 and he’d need 87 more. 10 years at 8.7 per year and he’s the all-time leader.

Best dual threat in NFL history and a better human being

[ticketssince61]

I think it is very misleading stat since most of the TD's for JA (as well as Hurts) are on QB sneaks (Snowplow and Tushpush)

 

It is not really a credit to the player but to the play

I’d be curious if anyone has broken down the number of TD’s Josh has on the tush push play. It’s obviously been a big part of the playbook the last couple seasons but I do remember early career Josh scoring on a fair amount of scrambles and QB power-type plays as well.

If Wrong Josh did this...imaging how many Right Josh would have

I remember looking last year at the past two seasons because people kept saying Josh’s rushing TDs weren’t real TDs just like Hurts. 
 

I want to say like 70% of them were from 2 or more yards out.
