quote:That's where we differ I guess. I generally think of the "better runner" as the guy who's hardest to tackle in the open field. But, if you define it as who makes the absolute most out of his runs, I'd agree it's Allen.
I didn’t ask if he was the fastest or best athlete I said is he a better runner.

I think his ability to beat you with the pass opens up his ability to run more so than he’s a more “gifted” runner than Lamar or certainly Vick.
Allen is a very, very good runner no doubt, but you could see it in last nights game. The real threat of his arm doesn’t let the defenders play his run, and that makes it dangerous as hell, but I’ve never seen a qb more electric with the ball in his hands on a scramble than Vick

Yes. Vick had more top speed but Allen is obviously more physical.

If I need 7 yards I want Josh, but if I wanted a 30 yard chunk play I would take Jackson or Vick.
Allen is a better all around QB than either.
I think all 3 are better than Cam.

No.
But he’s very very good.

Mike Vick did things running that I've never seen a QB do. Lamar is close.
Those two are electric athletes with the ball in their hands.
However, Allen chooses to run at better times and keeps his eyes downfield before he cross the LOS and because he's a bigger threat to throw it well in that scenario, the defense can't run downfield at him.
And he's a lot more physical and always seems to get YAC.
Tough to say who the better runner is, but I think he's the most effective.

quote:Lamar and Vick both have more career rushing yards, and 10+ 100 yard rushing games (not sure that matters).
Statistics say yes
I think Josh Allen’s legs contribute way more to the W/L column with the game on the line. Lamar should run more, but he’s often injured and can’t, and injury prone so he doesn’t. Josh Allen is a tank.

Josh is a terrific runner. But no, he is not a better runner than Lamar or Vick. Josh is more of a short yardage threat than those guys, yes. But he is not a better runner overall.
