The way Mahomes moves in the pocket and the angles of his throws, he is not the same as anyone else. We need rings before we have any comparison...but mahomes also has Andy Reid and we have Zac Taylor.
The question is if the QBs swapped teams, does Burrow win on KC and does Mahomes win on the Bengals?
Yes. Burrow would have multiple rings.
Mahomes would still be good, but I don't know if he'd have any rings. Reid's offense seems to really help his players get open, Taylor's offense seems to rely on his WRs being better than their opponents. We seem to only use motion to determine coverage, move a guy, he comes set, then we snap the ball. Meanwhile KC (and Miami) seem to like to use motion to get a guy a head of steam and tire our defenders while making them run side-to-side or barring that force on-the-fly reponsibility handoffs. KC also while not being a rush-heavy team has always been able to rush when they need to. Their rushing YPC as a team has been 13th or better in 5 of Mahomes' 6 years as a starter. It's got to be awfully nice as a QB to not only have a HoF TE safety valve, but also the ability to run out some first downs when you really need to.
