I certainly won't take anything away from Mahomes. He's awesome.
But let's be honest, here. He was drafted by a much better organization, coaching staff and team - which immediately surrounded him with supreme talent.
Josh Allen? Not so much.
It's no coincidence that Josh Allen continues to improve as the talent around him improves. That's not to say that Allen hasn't made incredible personal improvements; he has.
Throwing passes to Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones isn't setting any QB up to be successful. Replace that with Diggs and Beasley and *poof* now Josh Allen gets the second most MVP votes.
Has Mahomes been more successful? Yes. Much more.
But it's not just because Mahomes is the better QB.
If he is, it ain't by much.
I'll stick with Josh.
