Just a quick scan of Allen's list from 2019 through 2021:
2019: Cleveland (w/ Freddie Kitchens, no less) and the Adam Gase Jets. That's two losses right out of the chute that feel worse than anything Mahomes has ever had.
2020: losing to the 8-8 Cardinals is nothing disastrous.
2021: Lost to the Steelers and record be damned, that team was completely trash. The infamous 3-14 Jags loss, 9-8 Colts.
So really, most of this conversation appears to center around a REALLY bad loss. Take away the Jags loss and his performance isn't that much different than Mahomes. And yes, I'm cheating by not including 2018 but that seems fair; this guy ain't that guy.
The Browns, Jets and Jags losses are all pretty tough. And the Steelers loss is as well, but it doesn't quite fit my parameters so I'll let it slide. If the Jags loss doesn't happen, this conversation probably never even gets started.
So...{shrug}
Probably not much to see here.
