No argument there.

Id pick Mahomes #1 in league redraft and Allen #2.

But comparing from the beginning isn’t going to work, because Allen admittedly sucked his rookie year.

But what about lately?

NFL's top young QB's over last 40 games:

Allen: 12,475 yards, 105 TD's, 32 INT
Mahomes: 13,213 yards, 100 TD's, 29 INT
Burrow: 11,184 yards, 88 TD's, 29 INT
Murray: 11,786 yards, 83 TD's, 29 INT
Jackson: 10,417 yards, 71 TD's, 29 INT#Bills #Chiefs #Bengals #Cardinals #Ravens pic.twitter.com/8sOWGG5LP9

What's with the weird game number? There's no reason to cut that at 40 games, unless you're trying to game the stats and find the best comparison for the guy you're trying to spotlight.

Let's look at it since Allen got Diggs (2020, right?)

Allen:
49 games 65.2% completions, 7.4 Y/A, 11.4 Y/C, 15,180 combined yards, 129 TDs, 85 sacks for 485 yards (Net 14,695 yards), 61 turnovers

Mahomes:
49 games, 66.6% completions, 7.8 Y/A, 11.8 Y/C, 15,310 combined yards, 124 TDs, 76 sacks for 481 yards (Net 14, 829 yards), 42 turnovers

So literally the only edge Allen has in that comparison is in total TDs, by 5 (he has more rushing yards but fewer passing yards and fewer combined yards). And the Bills are using him as a runner, especially in the red zone... which is one reason his fumble count is higher. And isn't good for the longevity of a QB.
