Insane Stat of the Day Josh Allen.

[MAJBobby]

Here is a nice little Stat.  Buffalo Bills Rushing TD leaders In the HISTORY of the team.  In 4 years the Bills QB already up to 5th all time, and has a good look at getting to 3 all time before the end of the season.  

 

Get this team a freaking OL please.

 

[Motorin']

That is nuts. He only needs 3 more rushing TD's to be #3 all time behind Thurman and OJ. 

[MJS]

That's crazy he's about to pass Fred Jackson. Cookie was not in Buffalo very long. His stats are pretty crazy given that.

 

I think there is a good chance by the end of his career that he will be the Bills all-time rushing TD leader.

[Bruffalo]

He will likely pass Cookie this season.  Does this include postseason TDs as well?

Seeing Jack Kemp at #10, with 25 is even more surprising to me!

That is amazing from a player perspective. It is nauseating from a coordinator/GM perspective. As an OC, you put your franchise on the line more than 29 times for points. As a GM you did not provide your team with a RB and line that can do the job on short yardage/red zone.

I’d also love to see how many QBs have thrown for 300 yards and rushed for 100

That's what happens when you don't have a true RB1

That is not actually not all that relevant to this thread

[JerseyBills]

I'd give my pinky toe to have a Thurman Thomas on this team. Holy smokes, Allen would likely be MVP every year and our O as a whole would be unstoppable 

[hondo in seattle]

What I found weird and remarkable about this is that the Bills haven't been blessed with a lot of good QBs over the years but we have had many good backs:

 

OJ, Thurman, Freddie, Cookie, Shady, Joe Cribbs, Greg Bell, McGahee, CJ, Wray Carlton, CJ (when in space)...

Behind this OL, Thurman would have his worst year.

=decades of futility at the RB position.

[bmur66]

Hopefully he is not injured worse than we know and can play next week

How so? He likely has less rushing TD's if there was a better runner on the team.

Maybe.  A fair amount of those are scrambles and there are definitely some sneaks and designed runs.  I guess I think it is more telling of who Josh Allen is and what he is capable of and not as much about not having an RB.   The Bills dont have an RB1....ok I guess I can agree with that.  But largely during Josh Allen's tenure they have not seemed to desire to have that.  The whole thing is built around what he does well.

[MAJBobby]

There is another Stat I read today.

 

Allen has had 2 Backs go over 100 yards in a game in his career.  Singeltary and Gore

 

Allen has three 100 yard rushing games in his career.

Minus the ***** OL

I guess talent wise I understand what you are saying but if you put Thurman on the team, do you want to run more than we do now and pass more to RB's than we do now, that will take touches from Knox/Diggs/Sanders/etc.

For some reason, people think RBs exist in their own bubble out on the field.

 

Good ones get big runs, bad ones don't.

 

Big runs almost always equate to "huge holes" and the RB has nothing to do with that.

With RB, just have to hit on one player, not 5.  Plus a great RB can run with a mediocre line.

[thenorthremembers]

Should get to all time leader by the end of his career.     Should be the all time leader in passing yard and passing touchdowns by that time as well.   Goes to show you how special of a player we have leading the team right now.
