That's not a knock on Mahomes. Playing QB was simply harder back then.

I actually agree with Clay. One would need to scale the TDs thrown back then for today's numbers and yards. All QBs throw for more yards and TDs in today's game.
There were only 8 QBs to throw more than 20 TDs in 1984. 3 to throw more than 4000 yards. The impressive thing in 1984 is Marino threw 16 more TDs than the next guy. In 1986 he threw 19 more than the next guy. The closest that has happened since is when Brady threw 14 more in 2017 and Manning 14 more in 2013.
In 2020 (the last 16 game season) there were 19 QBs to throw more than 20 YDs. 12 to throw more than 4000 yds and 3 of them were also at 3900 yds.
