It isn't just 1 game or a small sample size. People acting as if Pat Mahomes didn't wet himself in the SB with a bad OLine, the 2022 AFCCG, and the other Bengals games where he collapsed under pressure are forgetting that he's human.
Mahomes is a fabulous QB. So is Burrow. They're both human beings and young players. I'm not sad Mahomes is not a Bengal. I like Burrow as a guy better. I like his family better. I like his play style better. I think Burrow will ultimately have the better career.
No Bengals fan should shit talk Mahomes the player and vice versa w Chiefs fans & Burrow. The players, however? I LOVE that!
Mahomes also had 2 of the top 10 YAC guys on his team as well in Kelce (3) & McKinnon (7)
As far as Mahomes with time goes, didn't B-Rad have a thread w stats showing Burrow dominating the league with 2.5 sec to throw or more? Burrow was 1st in:
Compl %
1st Down %
Avg Per Att
& Passer rating
I think these guys are very close and it comes down to who fans like to watch more. Both guys can throw, are accurate, can escape & improvise, can run, are tough, good humans, etc etc.
Maybe it depends on sources, but no, that isn't accurate. Geno Smith was #1 in passer rating with 2.5 seconds or more. Burrow was #2, Mahomes #3.
Tua was #1 in average per attempt. Burrow was #7. Mahomes was #2.
Burrow was #1 in completion percentage.
PFF doesn't track first downs, so not sure there.
Maybe it was a "since he came into the league" thing? It wasn't true for 2022, though.
Overall, I agree that they aren't far from each other. I just think that Mahomes, currently, is good enough that I don't find a compelling argument for Burrow to overtake him. Despite this, I would probably take Burrow in a hypothetical draft over Mahomes.
