Overrated. Turnover machine. One-man band. Josh Allen has been called a lot of things lately but the numbers show he’s undoubtedly one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and is off to one of the most prolific starts in league history as he is set to play in his 100th career game tonight vs. the Jets.
He’s seventh in EPA per play since entering the league (and third since 2020) among quarterbacks with at least 2,000 dropbacks. He’s second in quarterback wins (66) and tied for third-most in playoff wins (5) since he was drafted in 2018. He’s finished top five in MVP voting in three of the last four years.
His dual-threat ability has fueled some of the best video game numbers the league has ever seen. He has 231 career total touchdowns (passing, rushing and receiving), the second-most through 100 career games in NFL history. Fittingly, he’s behind only Patrick Mahomes. From 2020-23 he posted the most touchdowns (174) in a four-year span in NFL history. I don’t care what the era is, if you’re on the same list as Mahomes, Dan Marino, Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre you’re doing something right.

He’s been a wrecking ball as a runner. Only Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, Randall Cunningham and Cam Newton have more rush yards among quarterbacks through 100 career games. Monday is Allen’s 100th game, so he will pass Newton on this list.
