Well like I said, I think Mahomes, Allen, Rodgers and Brady are pretty interchangeable, all things being equal.
I gave the slight edge to Rodgers over Brady because Brady had the best supporting cast last season. For most of the year, Brady had a top 5 OL, three WR1s (two of whom have the numbers to make the HoF one day) and a HoF TE. Even Mahomes with a top 5 OL along with Kelce and Hill can't claim to have gotten so much help.
Plus Brady was a bit of a stat whore last year. He attempted 719 passes, which is absurd. Rodgers only attempted 531. If you extrapolate Rodgers' numbers over 719 passes he'd have ended up with roughly 5,500 yards (to Brady's 5,300), 50 TDs (to Brady's 43), and only 6 INTs (to Brady's 12).
Not to mention Rodgers is the reigning back-to-back MVP. That sort of thing doesn't happen by accident.
