Josh Allen vs Patrick Mahomes: The changing of the guard?

[Simon]

They've been 1a and 1b for almost 5 years now, with Mahomes maintaining a slight edge.

But Josh Allen has passed Patrick Mahomes and is currently the best QB on planet Earth.

That is all.

Nope not until Josh beats him when it counts.

If it wasn’t for 13 seconds and a plethora of injuries Josh would have at least 1 Super Bowl

I've thought this before and still do, but the reality is until the job gets done in February Mahomes is just going to have that hanging over Josh. It's not exactly fair as it's a team game but that's just how it is.

Watching the playoff games between those teams , your takeaway was that Josh couldn't beat Mahomes?

 

13 seconds game, that's Josh's fault right?

If you were paying close attention it happened a while back actually

Until Josh gets his first Lombardi this should not be discussed. And Josh should absolutely at some point get his first Lombardi, he’s more than good enough.

Im not arguing that Josh isn’t on the same level he is, but Mahomes has 3 trophies and Allen doesn’t.  Mahomes also made plays in that 13 seconds game and took his team down and won it in OT. There is no guarantee if the Bills had all their guys last year they win.

I'm not talking about team results or about past performances. I'm talking about right now.

And it's not really all that close.

Mahomes will certainly find his rhythm and close the gap, but he has a ways to go before he's as good as Allen is right now.

Josh has an OC who knows how to scheme free yardage for him, and now has the right amount of wisdom to take it.  Combine that with the splash play ability that’s always existed and you’re essentially watching a robot built to score TDs.

That's not out of the realm of possibility.

Josh needs to win a SB or two before we have the convo

[MJS]

It doesn't matter. Both of them are awesome.

Joe Montana has more.

Is he better than Josh Alllen right now?

If Josh has a bad game next week you’ll flip.

[Offside Number 76]

OK let's settle down a bit.  Allen isn't Mahomes.  On the other hand, Burrow isn't Allen.  

[Bangarang]

He's also doing it with 1 hand 

[SCBills]

Agreed. 
 

Now it’s time for this new blood to step up with him when it matters.
