As a result, every week, fans come up with interesting statistics of the two top campaigners, who are poised to take the NFL world forward, from the hands of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. After November 13’s NFL battle, fans thronged in on Twitter to make a comparison between the two heavyweights.
The fans and users denoted interesting comparisons between the two superstars.
A fan has commented, context is everything.
Context is everything my boy😉
Mahomes had all-Pro and probowl WR Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and two book end probowl tackles in fisher and Schwartz.
Meanwhile Allen was playing pitch & catch with biscuit Benji, zay jones & Tyrell Prior 🤣
Challenging year 😉

A user touched upon Mahomes Super Bowl win chances.
Mahomes better get some more rings if he’s gonna live up to all this hype. Dude is good but needs more hardware if he’s gonna be what you guys claim he is. Brady got 7, how many Patty Cakes gonna end up with? 2?

Meanwhile, a fan believed there was a big difference.
How many has the Bills won as a franchise? Mahomes is better than your entire franchise and you are bringing up a player that owned you for almost 2 decades?

A user marked an observation based on numbers.
Hypothetically, they could match numbers identically from this point going forward. But Mahomes starting out hot as hell will give him that jump. If they matched for the next 10+ years. Would the first couple still matter to you?

Another fan presented a different thought.
I love the chiefs but gd these comparisons are so unbelievably cringe. Like half of that Allen didn't have Diggs & Gabe Davis didnt really start playing at high level till late last year. Plus mahomes has had a HoF TE and WR for most of his run. Apples and orange

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are friends in arms
Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen locked horns a month earlier in the Bills’ game against the Chiefs. Both the superstars put in a big effort on the Sunday clash. They exchanged a warm hug after the game. Allen and Mahomes believe in team battles, and PM15 beautifully articulated how they perceive their rivalry. Obviously, the reference to Tom Brady and Peyton Manning also came to the fore.

“We’re two guys that love to compete. We love to go out there and find a way to will our team to win, but (Tom) Brady and (Peyton) Manning, we still got a long way to go,” said Mahomes. Meanwhile, the fans just added more color with insights.
A user posted a GIF.
Mahomes was throwing to Kelce & Hill from the beginning. Allen was throwing to Kelvin Benjamin & Zay Jones. Mahomes…already made playoff team. Allen…a team that went to the playoffs for the first time in 18 years thanks to the CIN win over BAL. They are not the same. pic.twitter.com/8qOtb101sQ

Another fan explained the Super Bowl records.
Yep, and with all that has only won 1 SB. So our guy will be right there if he can win 1 SB. Who cares he's been to 4 Championship games and lost which he has only 1 SB. You want to praise him that's fine, he is amazing but JA17 is right there, when he gets his SB. Reveal begins
