Josh has a significant lead in overall TDs, while Patrick, obviously, has the playoff wins/record and SBs (which I get it, is the most important thing...but it is also a team sport). WHAT IF Buffalo won the last two playoff meetings with KC (which were both down to the wire---KC was obviously the better team when they first met in the AFC championship game). Pat's playoff record (from 2020 on) would then be 7-3 with one Super Bowl win Josh's playoff record (from 2020 on) would be anywhere from 7-4 (if they lost the games following the KC games) to 11-2 (if they made and won the two SBs). Obviously it would probably be somewhere in between those two things (but Josh would have had a crack at two Super Bowl appearances). With those two playoff games, we are talking what, a total of 1-2 plays in each game that determined the outcomes. If they went the Bills way, Josh would have the better playoff record and possibly a Super Bowl as well. With that and the fact that it is a team game, and weighing in injuries, etc. I find it pretty hard to separate the two quarterbacks in any meaningful way. imo, Josh is right there, side-by-side with Mahomes as the only two tier-1 QBs in the league right now. Prove to me that Mahomes is better. Does Bass missing a field goal and Levi Wallace not being able to cover Kelce make Mahomes a better QB than Allen? Like I said, it's a team game. Ok, one last point/example. From 1990-1996 Mark Rypien had a better playoff win percentage than either Kelly or Marino and he won a Super Bowl, which neither of the other two were able to do. But, does anyone think that Rypien was a better overall QB than Marino or Kelly? Even though the QB is the most important factor, it still takes an entire team to win in the playoffs/Super Bowls. Plus there is luck, injuries, circumstances that weigh in as well. So, if you are just looking at the two QBs in a vacuum, I don't think playoff record should be a determining factor, especially when Josh has played so well in the playoffs (I mean he has probably two of the best playoff games ever by a Qb---the perfect Pats game and 13 seconds). This is a great post and rebuts the popular view. I think nationally, people see Allen as surpremely talented but reckless with the ball and a turnover machine. I admit that when I watch Mahomes, I do think he's a better decision maker. Yet these numbers might argue not. 1 Quote

It’s clear as day if you can read data. Allen >= Mahomes Bills < Chiefs Great job with the playoff win loss projections if those 50/50 plays went the other way. About time somebody did that. Simply put, anybody that say Mahomes is clearly better than Allen is wrong. The universe has a way of balancing things out, so you can predict what the next 5 years will bring. Allen holding trophies. 1 Quote

Why stop there? Because Allen broke out in 2020. It’s a huge sample size. Allen is and has been the better QB. It’s been a nice ride, after the Chiefs playoff exit this year you should get used to a lot of losing and coming up short from now on. Long way down. 2 Quote

Why stop there? 😆 At the end of their careers, we can add everything up (all seasons) to make the full comparisons. But I was looking at right now. Currently, in this moment, on the field, is Josh playing as good as Patrick. [Please note, I wasn't arguing that Josh is better than Mahomes, just that Josh is on the same level as Pat. Think like the Brady/Manning years. Peyton was just as great a QB as Brady, but Brady had the hardware.] The reason I didn't include the 2018 and 2019 seasons is that I don't think that is a fair comparison. Patrick was in his second year in 2018, having had a whole year to learn from the bench, and he was already more pro-ready than Josh. Pat went to a team that was already a yearly playoff participant, with a seasoned coach who had already been in KC for 6 years (already built up the culture, etc.). Josh was from a small school and about as raw as they get coming out, in his rookie year in 2018, with a team that was rebuilding, whose first-time head coach had been there for only 1 season, and a brand new GM. Josh wasn't even supposed to start right away, but got thrust into the starting line-up and had to learn on the fly. So, I'm not taking away Super Bowls and MVPs from Mahomes, I was just trying to look at the two players on as even a footing as possible. Of course Super Bowls and MVPs will always count on looking at a guy's overall career. But right now, on the field, Sunday to Sunday, are they at least equal in play. Of course Patrick was better than Josh in 2018 and 2019 for all of the reasons I stated. Not trying to erase anything. Look, I think Mahomes is a phenomenal, generational QB and unless Josh wins a few Super Bowls, Pat will always be seen as better and rank higher on everyone's lists, etc. I was just trying to show that over the last 5 seasons (outside of the hardware), Josh has been every bit as good as Mahomes on the field. It's not a knock on Mahomes, it's just trying to finally get Josh his due. Let me ask you this, if you were making a ranking of quarterbacks in tiers, would you have Mahomes as the only guy in Tier 1, with Josh clearly in Tier 2? Or would you have Josh with Patrick in Tier 1? Just curious. (I'm hoping you're not one of those guys that has QBs like Jackson, Burrow, and Herbert over Josh.) Quote

I think nationally, people see Allen as surpremely talented but reckless with the ball and a turnover machine. I admit that when I watch Mahomes, I do think he's a better decision maker. Yet these numbers might argue not. To be fair on the turnovers, I'll include fumbles. Over the same span (2020-week 7 this year), Pat has 24 fumbles to Josh's 41 fumbles. So, I'm sure that weighs in to people's perceptions about Josh's turnovers and recklessness. However, when you look at fumbles lost (actual turnovers) over the same time period: Pat has lost 9 fumbles and Josh has lost 20. So, overall, Josh has 15 more turnovers than Patrick over the last 74 games (11 fumbles and 4 INTs). Or, 1 more turnover every 5 games (3.4 more per season). But then there is the TD total again. Josh has 31 more TDs than Mahomes over that stretch. That is 217 more points. Turnovers equate to 4 points on average for opposing teams. So, Josh's 15 extra turnovers equates to minus 60 points. Subtract the turnovers from the TDs, and Josh is still on top in points by 157 (obviously Pat still has the hardware though). Most fans and media do not weigh in the fact that Josh has so many more TDs than any QB over the last five years against their perception of his turnovers/recklessness. 1 Quote

I take a lot of crap here when I defend Mahomes in this debate but I just think it's the honest conclusion. Mahomes has played 14 playoff game that didn't involve a Super Bowl and he has only played 2 wild card games. Josh has had 5 of his 10 games in the wild card. The competition gets much more difficult in each round. What Mahomes has done in the Divisional and Championship round has never been done before. 28 TD and 2 INT, nearly 70%, and almost 300 yards per game. Stats from Divisional and Championship round Josh has been excellent as well, but Mahomes is all time good in this spot. Then the comebacks and the record. He has 3 comebacks in the Super Bowl after being down 10 points or more. He is 5-2 in the playoffs when down by 10 points or more. Josh doesn't have a come from behind win in the postseason. He should of had one with 13 seconds but Mahomes should of had one in his first AFC championship game when Brady beat him in nearly identical circumstances as Mahomes beat Allen. Josh is playing better right now but we have to win in the postseason. When that happens it will change everything. 1 1 Quote

Do people think that Mahomes just suddenly lost the ability to put up numbers? I think it's also pretty clear that Mahomes is somewhat bored with the regular season at this point. As evidenced by the switch flipped last postseason, when he became nearly perfect after a very imperfect regular season. He's just doing enough to win, and doing it while all his top skill players are dropping like flies. Quote

Mahomes had Tyreek Hill and Kelce for the part of his career where he was so amazing while Josh has had receivers who are all garbage once they leave Buffalo besides possibly Diggs. The offensive talent surrounding them is not a huge advantage for Allen, if at all. Mahomes not caring about the regular season would seem inaccurate with the way he complained about the Bills game last year. I also did not bash Mahomes, and I am not just some homer, I acknowledge at this point of this season LJ should be MVP, you just want to point at SB wins and make that end of discussion Quote

Also you said "failed at every Superbowl opportunity", Reid had one (1) previous superbowl opportunity in 19 years before Mahomes. I'm gonna ignore the rest of your post because why go there, but the part I left makes a very valid point: the very year before Mahomes started, in 2017, Reid and the Chiefs had a very successful NFL offense. #1 in rush Y/A, #6 in NY/A passing, #2 in INT. And the Chiefs lost in the WC round , and Tony Dungy (who might know a thing about coaching football) said on national TV that "the chiefs might win a Superbowl, but not with Andy Reid as their coach". That's how Reid was seen - as a successful regular season coach that couldn't get his teams "over the hump" in the off-season. Until he could. And Mahomes has undoubtedly been the difference maker. But in Mahomes first season playing, he was supported by a proven successful offense with the whole deal - strong OL, strong run game (#6 for Y/A), top TE and top RAC WR 1 Quote

Stats only reflect how they want to be interpreted by the investigator. Be it sample size, specifics or bias for what they are implying. At least that’s what I’ve got from a few of the posts in this thread who use/highlight them. Stats are great when you encompass the whole perspective top to bottom and not single identifiers or outliers for your point whilst omitting those that potentially discredit. 1 Quote
