Of course he was going to be exposed in postseason play. Of course he was.
Guys like Allen, Herbert, Mayfield, Watson, all have moments in which they transcend just playing the position and make 'wow' plays. All will need to prove they can be consistent as well, but they have that extra ability. Rivers had that ability, but also would choke in the big moments just as often as not, and that's why he never won a championship.
None of these guys are Mahomes, though. None of them. Chiefs fans have gotten so spoiled so quickly though that many are unable to register that some of these other young guys are real good and have potential to be great; they just won't be Mahomes. Nobody is.

Watson is a clear top 5 QB in this league.
Herbert, Allen, and Mayfield are guys I would debate after the top ten. Good players though.
