I'd say Mahomes and Allen were about equal in this year's Divisional Round. Allen was better in KC earlier this year and Mahomes was better the prior two games (2020 AFCCG and @BUF 2020).
Allen is being weighted heavily off his last couple games, which were insane, but that is normal in the NFL. When he's playing his best, he is absolutely one of the best 3 QBs in the league - right up there with Mahomes and Rodgers.
Allen actually had more total TDs than Mahomes last season, but since you mention it: you believe Brady and Rodgers are both better than Mahomes then? Brady had more yards, more TDs, fewer INTs and a Super Bowl win the last two years and Rodgers had more TDs, fewer INTs and more wins than Mahomes so I guess it'd be fairy tale nonsense to claim Mahomes is superior to either of them..

Oh my. I can’t believe you are trying this argument. I never argued that Allen wasn’t good. I say it again, I never said Allen is not good. And a third time to ensure you understand what I am saying. I never said Allen was not good. I did say that he is not better than Mahomes. Allen played a great game in the divisional round. Mahomes played better and that’s a fact. Allen made plays with his legs, no one is arguing that. But as I mentioned before, a majority of his TDs against us were due to Davis (and only Davis) being WIDE open. If you want to praise that, go for it. I give credit on the bomb to Davis as not many QBs make that throw, but I won’t praise him for hitting a wide open receiver because the defender fell down or due to miscommunication by our secondary who was missing Mathieu. Mahomes simply put on a better performance against a better defense. Just because I say Mahomes is better does not equate to Allen is trash.
Regular season Rodgers was better than Mahomes, hence the two straight MVPs. Playoff Rodgers is not though. Brady did put up better numbers than Mahomes this year because Patrick went through a slump, not arguing that. Is he better at this stage? No. But he did put up great numbers with a more talented offense with an easier schedule.
