No, I'm not. You say you're a numbers guy; simply check his stats/awards/accomplishments vs. the list of QBs currently in the HOF. Based on stats alone, he's probably in now, in consideration with his SB win, a reg. season MVP, and SB MVP.
Then consider the consistency of his production. He's averaging more than 4,500 yards/season, averaging more than 38 TDs/season, just 8 INTs/season, a 38-8 W/L record, 6 4th Q comebacks, 7 game-winning drives, etc.
And remember, he actually missed 3.75 games in his career. Had he actually played those games his TD total would be at least 120, or at least 40 TDs/season, a TD/INT ratio of over 5:1? That's a league record, btw.
And we haven't even started talking about all those next gen stats people nowadays like to talk about. Like that he has the highest ANY/A number in league history.
Or that he's likely to be the fastest to 15,000 yds. Fastest to 200 TDs. Et cetera and so on.
the fact is, that Mahomes already has smashed a long list of NFL records in just three years as a starter, in spite of missing 3.75 games.
Then add in the SB, MVP awards, the 5000/50, etc., and it's pretty clear that Mahomes right now if he retired after this season, would be almost a lock for a first-ballot HOF. Certainly he would be a HOFer at some point, just based on his stats and record-breaking career as it stands.
Which is to say nothing of the eye test, which doesn't even need stats to prop up his claim to a jacket. He's the QB version of Barry Sanders. You don't need stats to see that the guy is unique, and uniquely gifted at his position. just watch him play. That's literally all anyone really needs to know.
