These “this guy played in a Super Bowl so he’s better” arguments vex me. OJ Simpson was better than Jim Kiick.
I prefer “who would you rather have, for one game”’ and that relies on a body of work. Allen and Mahomes are a wash. Mahomes arrived at a better place as a rookie. He certainly made the most of it. He made the place better. I see Allen and Mahomes as a toss up. Completely different players and human beings. Mahomes arrived developmentally ahead of Allen, too. Allen’s developmental arc is second to none as a QB. At least “second to anyone I can think of.”.
One game, tonight? I take Allen. Two pick ‘em studs.
