Tenny plays zone which he likes but at least they also bracketed the primary receivers (Diggs) which made him uncomfortable. His best game last year was against Dallas (soft zone). |

We could argue about the tipped pass and whose fault that was, but let's skip that for now. My point was simply that Josh Allen isn't on the same level as Mahomes when it comes to pre-snap and post-snap reads. For instance; He's not making any/good adjustments or at the line pre-snap, so apparently he isn't seeing the blitz before the snap much of the time. Fortunately for him, the Titans don't have a very good pass rush. Then once the ball was snapped, when the pressure did come, he seemed surprised by it, which was when he tended to make bad decisions. He also showed a tendency to lock onto receivers from the snap, which would've have been catastrophic for him against a better secondary. Again, I don't believe I'm being disrespectful as much as just brutally honest about what I saw. Do I think that was his best game? No. Do I think he can and will improve? Sure, probably. But the issues I described above aren't from just the Titans game. These are issues he had last year in the game against the Texans. And the same issues he showed against the Rams a couple weeks ago. MccDermott is doing a great job this season hiding these issues for the most part, but they're obviously still there, and Josh is going to have to grow past those issues at some point to really be seriously considered a top tier QB, much less compared with Patrick.

Though someone could make some of the same arguments about Mahomes if they only watched last weeks game. He was 51% passing for goodness sake. |

Is this a rhetorical question?
Right now, no. Down the line, who knows? |

There's no "only watched last week's game" about it. A lot of us watch every game televised in our area. There's people here who watch the All 22 for every game, every week. |

But the real difference here is that Patrick's completion rate last week was the outlier, not even close to the norm. Meanwhile, Josh Allen's issues that I noted and described above, those have been his issues since Day 1, and continue to be his issues now. So while Mahomes had a below average-for-him completion rate one time in the last 13 or 14 games, Allen continues to struggle with his pre-snap reads, making adjustments at the line, post-snap reads, and staring down receivers, which are the same issues he had as a rookie. So apples vs. oranges . . . |

Mahomes has an inherent advantage in intelligence and recognition, which is why he's reached the stratosphere so quickly, and why guys like Lamar or Allen, with remarkable athletic attributes of their own, just aren't on his level, and likely won't ever be, because Mahomes' level isn't going to remain static.
It's also telling that an 'off' day for mahomes is pretty much an average to above day for anybody else. |
