Washington: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have been the talk of the town as the NFL playoffs heat up. These two guys are leading the charge in a league that’s shifting from traditional pocket passers to dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks.
This season has been wild, with quarterbacks racking up over 11,000 rushing yards. That’s a huge jump from last year and shows just how much the game is changing. It’s like we’re seeing a whole new style of play, and it’s exciting!
Former NFL QB Robert Griffin III pointed out that seven out of the eight quarterbacks in the playoffs are mobile. He’s right; the game is evolving, and these guys are setting the standard.
Rookie quarterbacks have also made a splash this year. Players like Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams are not just starting; they’re running the ball like pros. Daniels even led the Commanders to their first playoff win in nearly two decades!
Speaking of rushing, Daniels is averaging over 52 yards a game, which is impressive for a rookie. He’s right behind Jackson, who’s known for his speed and agility. They’re both set to light up the field this weekend.
Now, if you look at running styles, Jackson and Daniels are the speedy types, while guys like Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen are more like bulldozers. They’re tough to bring down and score a ton of touchdowns, making them a nightmare for defenses.
This Sunday’s game between the Ravens and Bills is going to be epic. Jackson and Allen are both young but have already made history with their rushing stats. Jackson leads all QBs in total rushing yards, while Allen is on track to break touchdown records next season.
And let’s not forget about Patrick Mahomes. He’s a three-time Super Bowl MVP who can run when it counts. He’s shown that you can win big games while being a dual-threat, but most of the time, he’s still a passer.
It’s interesting to note that while these rushing QBs are changing the game, winning the Super Bowl has been tough for them. Only Russell Wilson has managed to win it all after rushing for over 500 yards in a season. Others like Kaepernick and Newton have come close but fell short.
Regardless of the Super Bowl wins, these quarterbacks are paving the way for a new era in the NFL. Griffin might have been a bit generous in calling all the playoff QBs mobile, but it’s clear that the game is evolving, and it’s thrilling to watch!
