Mahomes and Allen could walk into Detroit and instantly improve their passing game with out changing their scheme. They don't have to rewrite the playbook for those guys. They can come in and run Detroit's scheme.
Can Lamar Jackson walk into Detroit and improve their passing game w/o significantly altering their scheme?
No? Ok. Then he doesn't belong in that same conversation. There's a clear difference there.
There's a few guys who can legit turn any team into a contender without requiring a complete fundamental shift in offense. Then there's guys like Lamar who, yeah, if you change everything for him, can have success.
