Josh ain't anywhere near Steve young. Not yet, anyway.

These type of comparisons happen all the time, even in the Draft when a kid hasn't done anything. Obviously they have to stick around for a long time to have the overall career of anyone they are compared against.
Tech folks like myself were comparing Mahomes' talent to guys like Rodgers & Favre when he was a 19 year old true freshman. Allen has amazing talent as well. He's kind of a freak when you look at his body size, strong running ability, rocket arm, and high Wonderlic score. Some guys have the physical talent and zero brain (JaMarcus Russell, Vince Young, Cam Newton).
These young guys like Allen or Mahomes have to stick around a long time to have the type of overall career of guys like Steve Young or Rodgers/Favre. Only time will tell, but they both have tremendous potential.
