That isn't entirely false. If the Bears gm had more than a room temperature IQ and properly drafted Mahomes who knows how it works out. It's completely unprovable but I doubt he would have won any SB's or MVPs, but I still think he would be a top tier NFL QB.
As far as stat padding goes that has always been one of Andy's trademarks going back to his days in Philly. Passing in goal line situations when it is completely unnecessary. But it is a copy cat league and now pretty much everyone does that so what's the big deal? Rodgers comes out shotgun empty on 1st and goal from the 3, Vince Lombardi would turn over in his grave. In 2022 QB stats are inflated for all teams not just us.
I admit Mahomes has had a lot of dropped INTs but it is not unique to him. The last few years you see tons of dropped INTs league wide. You never used to see this happen so consistently and I have no clue what the cause of this is.
Bottom line is Bills fans can chirp about empty stats all they want, it is not gonna bring them a SB, that has to be done on the field and the Bills have yet to prove they can win the big game. Allen will put up monster numbers then shrink in the playoffs. Watch and see
