in the NFL, right? Let’s break it down, easy peasy.
First off, these guys are both incredibly talented. Mahomes is a bit older and has more experience, but Allen is coming on strong, and he’s got that big arm and a ton of potential. They’re both in the running for “best quarterback in the league” every year, and it’s always fun to see them face off against each other.
Now, I know you’re probably dying to see some numbers, right? I get it, stats are the lifeblood of any good football fan! So let’s take a look at some key stats for both players, comparing their careers to this point. Remember, these are just numbers, but they can give us a good idea of how each guy performs on the field.
Josh Allen:
Touchdowns: 175 passing touchdowns (that’s a LOT!)
Total Touchdowns: 232 total touchdowns (including rushing TDs)
Passing Yards: 23,648 passing yards (he’s already put up some serious numbers)
Passer Rating: 92.7 (not bad, but Mahomes has him beat in this category)
Patrick Mahomes:
Touchdowns: 187 passing touchdowns (slight edge over Allen)
Total Touchdowns: 231 total touchdowns (right behind Allen)
Passing Yards: 30,075 passing yards (leading the pack in this category)
Passer Rating: 102.4 (slightly better than Allen’s rating)
You see, they’re both incredibly talented quarterbacks, and it’s super close in some categories. Mahomes is a bit more experienced, and it shows in the passing yardage and passer rating. But Allen is young and has that big arm, and he’s definitely got the potential to overtake Mahomes in some of these categories as his career progresses.
Let’s look at their head-to-head stats:
| Category | Patrick Mahomes | Josh Allen |
|---|---|---|
| Wins | 4 | 3 |
| Playoff Wins | 3 | 0 |
| Regular Season Wins | 1 | 3 |
So it’s not a landslide in either direction. Mahomes has the upper hand in the playoffs, but Allen has been more successful in the regular season.
It’s also worth mentioning that Allen has a slight physical advantage – he’s a giant! He’s got that NFL quarterback physique, and he can really make plays with his legs, too. Mahomes is a bit smaller, but he makes up for it with his speed and agility.
One thing is for sure: watching these two quarterbacks compete is always a treat for any football fan! Who do you think is the better quarterback? Who do you think will have a longer and more successful career? I’m curious to hear what you think!
