Analysis Picks Josh Allen as 2020s Best QB With 252 TDs Over Mahomes, Jackson, Stafford

Summary
Josh Allen tops the analysis because his 252 total touchdowns and +156 touchdown-to-turnover margin lead the four-man 2020s quarterback field through the 2025 season.
Allen’s case rests on durability and dual-threat production: he played 100 games, reached the playoffs every year, posted 3,580 rushing yards and 62 rushing TDs, and led the group in playoff touchdowns with 38.
Patrick Mahomes still owns the strongest team-success résumé, with 26,527 passing yards, 191 passing TDs, four Super Bowl trips, two titles and two Super Bowl MVPs.
Lamar Jackson and Matthew Stafford each have one MVP, as do Allen and Mahomes, but Jackson’s thinner playoff record and Stafford’s weaker all-around production leave the analysis favoring Allen in the all-decade debate.
The argument erupted after ESPN’s Bill Barnwell wrote that Allen would make a first-team all-decade roster if it were chosen now, turning one line into a broader NFL debate.
