Actually, it makes a lot more sense to use per game averages, and he’s behind in everything. Way behind in many.
TD% is basically useless. The goal isn’t to score a TD in as few throws as possible. The goal is just to score. Sometimes the strategy is even to intentionally run more plays than needed. Mahomes threw more TDs per game.
Here’s another stat for you. Points per drive. KC led the league and was on a historic pace for awhile. Even with a slew of turnovers in the first half of the year. Seattle was bottom third. Mahomes consistently led his team on scoring drives, in what we all know is a pass-happy offense.
You also don’t take into account garbage time numbers vs prevent defenses. A situation that Seattle was in far more often than KC.
This sounds like an Alex Smith apologist trying to make a case that he was actually better than Mahomes.
