Josh Allen - Chase For 40 Total TD's

[H2o]

Josh Allen broke the all time record last year achieving this feat for the 5th consecutive season. Now he stands on the verge of extending that mark. He's 10 total TD's away from his 6th consecutive 40+ total TD season. He currently has 19 passing and 11 rushing after yesterday's game. With 5 games to go, barring injury, he should easily eclipse this threshold. 

 

Aside from all of the sports bobbleheads' nonsense and narratives, no one can deny his greatness. Greatness like the game has never seen before up until this point. When it's all said and done, there will quite a list of "only player to" with Josh Allen's name on them. Let's just hope one of those is "only player to" QB the Buffalo Bills to a Super Bowl victory.

[Walking Tall]

Best ever.

[PonyBoy]

He's done it quietly and with a lot of class too. 

I'm a huge fan of humility.

 

Keep it going Josh! 

[Freddie's Dead]

He's simply the best QB ever.

[Orlando Buffalo]

I don't know if he will make it to 40 but it is amazing that this year, when he is having a down year, he is 2nd in total TDs at this point.

At rushing td production from qb position? Yes

[Kelly to Allen]

This is nuts

The game against Cincinnati could end up being a shootout.  I could see Josh ending up with four or more TDs in that game.  After that game New England and Philadelphia both have real good defenses.  Cleveland gives up more points than Buffalo, but they have the best pass rusher in the league in Myles Garrett.  The Jets aren't doing a lot defensively this year.  Josh might end up with 3 or 4 TDs in that game.  I would think Josh could score enough in that middle group of three games to put him over 40 for the season.

Josh already has the record of total TDs before the age of thirty by 29 TDs...and he still has the rest of the season (5 more games) to add to that total (as he does not turn 30 until May). He has averaged 2.37 TDs/game in his career, so, 11 or 12 more TDs likely, to make his lead over Mahomes (2nd place) about 40 TDs.

 

Mahomes, Goff, and Stafford are already over 30 years old, so their counts are done. Lamar is the only other active guy on the list still under 30. He will still be under 30 years old all of next season. Yet, he is 77 TDs behind Josh, and his average TD total per season is ~27 TDs. Last year was his best year ever, with 45 TDs. But, even if he repeated his best year next year, he would still be about 32 TDs behind Josh. He might catch Mahomes, but not Josh.

 

Now to be fair, Josh had 8 more starts than Mahomes over that span---before 30 yo---(and by the end of the season, Josh will have had 13 more starts than Pat over that span). But, Pat has averaged ~2.3 TDs per game across his career. So, even with eight more games, his total would be 281 total TDs over the same 122 starts as Josh. Even then, he would still be 11 TDs behind Josh. 

 

I looked up the older guys too (shorter seasons and all), but Marino only had 3 fewer starts than Josh before 30 years old, Manning had 6 more starts than Josh prior to turning 30, and Favre had 13 fewer starts than Josh. None of which would affect things much (Favre is 69 TDs below Josh, 13 more starts would only get him about 21 more TDs at his career average). (Just FYI, to round out the list, Goff had 1 fewer starts than Josh before 30, Stafford had more starts than Josh before 30.)

 

Josh has 122 starts in his career. So even if you said who has the most TDs in their first 122 starts (rather than younger than 30 years old---to make things fair with number of starts), Josh would still easily be in first (Mahomes would just be a little bit closer in 2nd).

 

 

It really is kind of crazy that he's our QB...

 

Josh is currently 43rd all-time in the NFL in passing TDs. With just 3 more seasons at his current average, he would move up to 17th place all-time, just ahead of John Elway. It would take him 7 more seasons at his current average to break into the top 10 (taking into account that Mahomes and possibly Goff/Prescott could stay ahead of him as they are now---kind of crazy to think that Goff is probably going to finish in the top 10 all-time in passing TDs).

 

Josh is already currently 25th place in rushing TDs amongst all players in NFL history. At his average, he will likely have 3 more rushing TDs this season. That would move him up to 23rd place, passing Tony Dorsett and Ricky Watters. If Josh maintains his average of 9.875 rushing TDs per season for just 3 more years, he would move into 7th place all-time in rushing TDs between Walter Payton and Jim Brown. I mean, what?

 

We very well may have the first player in NFL history who will retire in the top 10 all-time in both passing TDs and rushing TDs.
