Everyone wants to make a rivalry with our QB. He’s top dog
We’ll see if this one sticks

It's part of the entertainment schtick of sports.
The same thing happened with Michael Jordan when he was in CHI. Every new young player was constantly compared to MJ as the "next MJ." It adds (when it works) to the whole drama thing, and draws more fans, more new fans, and consequently more $$$. Unfortunately it never really came to fruition with MJ. No player rose up and became his arch-nemesis (Kobe Bryant was the closest, but cam a little too late).
If we're very lucky some or just one of these new QBs will take up that mantle as Mahomes' true rival, just as Manning was Brady's for so many years. Just hopefully more exciting.
Could Josh Allen become that guy? Maybe. he has potential. But he better hurry up and figure out how to be more than just a big athlete with a big arm, and become a lot more clutch, or the moment will pass him by.
