All of that shit has to do with being smart, and there's no evidence that Burrow is better at that kind of thing than Mahomes.

I'm not sure what QB you're watching. Mahomes footwork can be bad. His drops are inconsistent. He holds the ball longer than he needs to, a lot. If you actually think Mahomes reads a defense better than Burrow, pre or post snap and processes quicker, you need to reLrnfootball.
"No evidence" other than this.
Trigger Time
Now, I only just started looking at the idea of “trigger time” last year, but I think it might be the most important of the three metrics covered in this analysis. Again, this is measuring the amount of time it takes a QB to start their throwing motion after they’ve locked on a target. This provides insight into how a quarterback sees the field and how quickly they process information. Additionally, the less time a QB stares down their target before a throw, the less time a DB has to react to the pass. And it’s this trait that makes Joe Burrow absolutely special.

There's a hell of a lot more out there than this but i'm at work right now.
Mahomes is smart, has a stong arm, is very elusive and knows right where everyone is supposed to be and studies film to identify pressure and coverages well. He's not as smart, nor as good at reading a defense pre and post snap, as Burrow is. It's an undeniable fact.
