Josh Allen and the Quest for 6,000 Yards

[ArtVandalay]

No QB in NFL History has ever had a 6,000 Total Yard season. 

 

The record is currently held by Drew Brees with 5,562. He had 5,476 passing and 86 rushing.  

 

Peyton Making has the most passing yards in a season with 5,477... 1 more than Brees.

 

Josh Allen presently has 1,980 passing and 257 rushing,  total 2,237... this is a 17 game pace for 5610+728=6330... shattering the record and on pace for first 6k season ever. 

 

Time will tell if he can do it.  Unfortunately winter weather in Buffalo usually brings decreased offensive stats so he needs to get the numbers up early to carry him into December/January where every game will be outdoor northern winter weather (games in Buf, NE, Chi, Cin).

You mean except in last year's playoff game?

The regular MVP is a curse. The nfl mvp rarely wins the SB.

[ExiledInIllinois]

17 games.  Should it count?

 

Just like 2,000 yards in 14 games season... Or perfect season of 14 games... The 1972 perfect season was easier, just as 6,000 yards in 17 will be easier...

We've already had 1 awful weather game, at least 2 more are likely. That's Josh's biggest obstacle to 6,000.

 

And also sitting out 4th quarters and possibly the Week 18 game.

I think he can do it. Would be amazing if he gets to 6000.

[Royale with Cheese]

If he does and wins the Super Bowl...just extend him an additional like 10 years on his contract.  

[Greg S]

I doubt it. As others have mentioned you have bad weather games. If the Bills have the division and #1 seed locked up then they may rest him. If he does play he might only play for a couple of series in what would be a glorified preseason game.

Don't they announce the league MVP after the Super Bowl?

Kurt Warner was the last to do it in 1999 with the Rams...League MVP, won SB, and was SB MVP.

[US Egg]

6,000 total yards would be in the rarest of air.

 

Wonder what JA thinks?

Starr, Bradshaw, Montana, Young, and Warner.

.

I think it's the week before the SB, pro bowl week they have the awards ceremony

I know records are fun but if we have home fields wrapped up I'd like to see Josh not play full games at the end of the year and risk injury. That will diminish his numbers. 

I'd rather have a healthy Josh to start the playoffs rather than chasing records and getting more wear and tear on him for the playoffs.

Hard to do when you're sitting fourth quarters

It's Josh Allen, if it means we're winning he's for it, if it's in the way of that get it the ***** out of the way probably.

My very first thought…..

  However, 6000 will still be very hard to do and if Josh gets there he will be in rarified air for decades with only a few others joining him.  
   This IS an absolute Dream to be living through😍

I think Allen only cares about winning games and bringing a Super Bowl championship to Buffalo.

If you projected either Mannings or Brees top 2 spots all time in total yards over 17 games, they still fall 200 yards short.  So there has never been a season in NFL history that would have equated to 6000 total yards in 17 games.  There isn't even one season by a player that comes within 100 yards of reaching 6000 yards in 17 games.  

 

So I do not think being 17 games makes it "easier".  I would say it takes it from pretty much impossible to it could happen one day when someone puts up the single greatest season in NFL history.  In fact to do it, that person would almost certainly have to break the current NFL record within 16 games to be able to even reach 6000 in 17 games.  

 

Add in the fact that the odds are, if a QB is having that kind of season, there is a very good chance he may not have to play much in week 17, making the achievement even potentially harder.
