But one thing that separates Mahomes from all other current QBs is that when he absolutely has to make a play in a big playoff game he almost always comes through.
Cincy had a solid defense a couple of years ago and Burrow couldn’t maximize it to win a SB (with his whopping 0 fourth quarter playoff TDs).
Lamar had a super defense last year according to metrics and he throws a killer INT into triple coverage.
Allen was the closest to maximizing his defense, yet Mahomes torched the #1 defense in the league and crushed them with :13 seconds left. KC also did not have a top defense that year.
Good and great QBs make their living building up stats in the regular season and get awards for it. The legends make their mark on the biggest stage.
Even last year despite everything when it mattered the most, he was inevitable. Of the 31 other QBs in the league name one that you would take over Mahomes in a game winning drive in the playoffs/SB.
That’s why he’s a legend already regardless of his stats not being as great as they used to be.
