It feels like history is repeating itself.īack in the early 2000s, we had no way of knowing what would evolve between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. We’ll find out which is true on Sunday.We're at the beginning of something special between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

All of this is to say both quarterbacks are truly great, but it’s not hard to find many measures that show Allen is the better all-around player. Meanwhile, without Tyreek, Mahomes ranks eighth in rating, with just 228 yards and a score. He has the NFL’s highest passer rating on targets 20-plus yards downfield, with 532 passing yards to go with five touchdowns and an interception. But again, it’s Allen who has a higher completion rate at 56.5% compared to 46.6% from Mahomes, and the latter has thrown six touchdowns and an interception compared to four scores and zero picks from Buffalo’s QB.ĭo you like deep passes? Who doesn’t? Josh Allen sure does. When it comes to throwing under pressure, Mahomes ranks No. While it’s true Allen has a tendency to chuck a few more interceptable balls, as his ‘turnover throw’ rate comes in at 3.9% compared to Mahomes at 2.2%, he’s also been able to have more ‘big-time throws’ (5.9% compared to 4.9%). This is strictly due to Allen grading out higher as a runner, but even their passing grades are similar at 82.2 for Mahomes and 80 for Allen.

Pro Football Focus has Allen with an 87.5 grade, compared to Mahomes coming in with an 85.8. Except, now that Tyreek Hill is playing in Miami, the Bills have a better cast of weapons, yet the Chiefs still have the coaching edge when it comes to experience. From the coaching staff to the personnel.

Mahomes, of course, won in 2018, his first full season as a starter.īut, a case can be made, Mahomes has always had much more to work with than Allen has. Not only that, Allen was the runner-up to win MVP behind Aaron Rodgers. Suddenly Allen had become a Pro Bowl QB himself and helped Diggs lead the NFL with 1,535 receiving yards. That was set in stone in 2020 after acquiring Stefon Diggs, the first Pro Bowl-caliber target Allen got to work with. The Bills finally had a playoff team, and maybe, they had a franchise QB. 1 option, and his completion rate improved six percentage points to a respectable 58.8%. Allen finally had some NFL talent, albeit no No.

In 2019, the Bills added a 36-year-old Frank Gore along with John Brown, Cole Beasley, and tight end Dawson Knox in the third round. Our latest chance to find out comes this Sunday at 4:25 PM ET on CBS. Mahomes may have had the advantage of being one step ahead at each level of his development, from high school to college and even the NFL, but an argument can be made that Allen has now closed the gap and even surpassed the Super Bowl winning-QB. Unlike Allen, Mahomes actually had multiple scholarship offers before settling on Texas Tech. Yet uniquely, Mahomes and his baseball background routinely show up on gameday when he uncorks a side-winding pass. In contrast, Mahomes is the son of a former MLB pitcher, likely giving him a bit more hands-on experience and training opportunities being the son of a former ballplayer. Sure, Allen had to be in good hands to even land on the NFL radar to begin with, starting at Reedley junior college before transferring to Wyoming, yet another small school by NFL standards. 1 overall pick Alex Smith his first season in the NFL, but it started even before either player reached the pros. Mahomes got to learn under three-time Pro Bowl QB and former No.
