Batman1876 Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 Josh currently has 101 passing TDs 29 rushing and 1 receiving (regular season). For a total of 131. Marino is #1 with 142 passing and 2 rushing for a total of 144. Josh is a TD machine, although Marino setting that mark in the 80's is just wild. 8 2 Quote

Lagoon Blues Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Look at Bortles. Thats a lot of attmepts. Edited December 28, 2021 by Lagoon Blues Quote
Gambit Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 That's really awesome but makes you wonder if Mahommes would've had it if he played year 1. Tho, if he never sat that year, it's possible he never has that 50TD season. 1 Quote
NewEra Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 Impressive. Looks like he’s behind only Mahomes, Marino, Watson and Warner in TDs per game. Through first 4 seasons. 1 Quote

Big Turk Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Pretty clear Mahomes would be #1 by a fairly wide margin if he didn't play 13 fewer games than Marino and Allen...even Watson may have passed Allen with an additional 5 games... The better metric would be per game statistics to even things out. Edited December 28, 2021 by Big Turk 1 Quote
Billsfan1972 Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 But don't forget McD didn't have any confidence in the offense years 1-2, while Marino came out slinging..... Quote

I'm not sure. Perhaps he benefitted from sitting for that year. Quote

In Allen's 1st year, nobody had confidence in that offense, which, arguably had the worst collection of talent along the offensive line and receiving positions in the entire NFL - and historically bad. 1 1 1 Quote

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 What's really impressive is Marino had more passing TDs in his 2nd year alone than Allen had total TDs in his first 2 years combined(48 vs 47). Side note: I witnessed it, but never really appreciated Marino's 2nd year in the league. Over 5,000 yards passing and 48 passing TDs in 1984, when defenses were allow to do a whole lot more than they can today. Side note II: Allen's total Tds in his first 2 years 47, in his last 2 years 84 and counting. Quote

Right, but you also continue to say things like McDermott "wanted 20-17 games," when, in reality, it was the best he could hope for. You wanted to label McDermott as conservative when he simply played to the team's strengths, the same as he does now - such as going for it on 4th down 4 times against the ****Pats on Sunday. 3 1 Quote

As disappointing as it was for the Bills to pass up on a QB in 2017..........and in doing so trade a great one to a team in-conference that had been narrowly beating us and knocking the Bills down a peg almost annually ever since Andy Reid arrived............Allen has really exceeded even my very high expectations for him as a regular season QB. 3 1 Quote

Yeah the Mahomes vs Tre and Allen discussion has a lot more sanity to it than it did previously. This is one of those where situation really matters. I don't know if Mahomes becomes Mahomes in Buffalo. Even this year you could see some of the erraticism (is that a word?) to Mahomes game that I don't know if the 2017/2018 versions of the Bills would have been able to coach him up. Put another way I trust Reid to develop a qb much more than Rick Dennison. Quote
