Prior this season, the real distinction between the two was that PM just never had games where he shot his own guys out of the game. His B games were a little less frequent than Allen, as were his C games. His D and F games were virtually non-existent.
That's not really the case anymore. Right now, Allen is an equally dangerous QB.
We'll see if that remains the case when the post-season gets here. But history says that Allen is about the only guy in the league who can reasonably claim that his post-season performance is on the same level as PMs. Especially the more mature version of him that's been around the last couple of years (not the hyperactive one that killed them a few years back agains the Texans).
Allen's a remarkable talent. As good as the league's had. In virtually any other era, he'd be the best in the league without much argument.

Aside from that year, 6 of 8 games <100 passer rating. 5 of them <90 rating and a TD/INT ratio of 12/4. I'd have to update from a previous post detailing those 2 and all the others but i can't do it from work right now.

It's pretty incredible he's only made one AFCCG in his career (and was outscored 31-9 outside of a 3 yard TD drive and garbage time).
