I don't think it has much to do with Mahomes, it's just "boring" to continue to talk about him because he's still so far away from comparing his entire career to Brady. There's no drama in talking about another Mahomes performance where he throws for 400 yards and 4 TDs.
The media is constantly looking for "the next ___".... they ran "is Mahomes the next Brady" into the ground a couple years ago, so now it's time to find the next Mahomes.
They also need
someone to be Mahomes' Peyton Manning to provide some competition, rivalry and reason to watch... they don't want fans to assume Mahomes is going to win a Super Bowl every couple years and no other team has a chance, and you might as well not ever turn on ESPN again because you'll get sick of Mahomes Mahomes Mahomes, just like Brady.
