Yesterday LT scored his 29th TD of the season, but when I checked my fantasy football stats (he's on my team) it said he had 2 td passes, 26 td runs, and 3 td catches. I don't need to tell you that doesn't equal 29. Do the passing TDs not count because he isn't a quarterback? The chargers got 6 points for them just like they did all the other ones.

For the purpose of that statistic, they assign TD's to the people who run or catch for the TD, not to the quarterback who threw the pass. Otherwise, you'd be double-counting TDs, get it? If Ladanian threw a pass, and it was tipped, and he caught it on the rebound and ran into the end-zone, he would not be credited with 2 TDs on the same play.
QBs get their separate stat of "touchdown passes" to avoid the double counting. It's OK to say "LT had 29 TDs, and also threw 2 TD passes".

They only count how many times the ball was in his possession at the time it crossed the goal line, whether it be by rushing or receiving. Otherwise, Peyton Manning's record of 49 TD passes in 2004 would count too. then LT would be way off.

The 29 TD are ones that HE actually scored. He has 26 rushing, 3 recieveing, equalling his 29 TD's that HE, HIMSELF scored. He has PASSED for 2 TD's, he didn't score those himself. That's why.

The passes don't count for his total because he was not in possession when the TD was scored. Whether or not he played QB is irrelevant.

They don't count towards his total because he's not the one that carried the ball over the goal line. He threw the ball, but he himself did not score the TD.

The TD count is for total touchdowns. They do count, your stats are off or out of sync with time.
Or, maybe not...
