Is interesting though, some people think Mahomes is a HOF’er already, meanwhile people in league circles prefer Allen over him.

Not really... an entire half of the league probably doesn't spend tons of time watching either one. Then you have recency bias for teams that have played the Bills this season, plus the rest of the AFCE that saw him twice.

And coming up with how Allen is bigger and potentially more durable tells the story of very high level analysis or thinking their ceilings are similar and they think Allen might last longer in the league because Mahomes got hurt that one time last season.

Every good QB will be talked about as "is he the next Mahomes"... and sports media exists to create hype, and they want someone to be Mahomes' rival.

A year ago "sources" were saying Lamar > Mahomes and next year it'll be someone new.
