Mahomes is clearly a superior quarterback; but pretty clearly even he needs adequate help. He’s having easily his worst year, and they are not that starved for talent. And they still have unbelievably good infrastructure. Mahomes had two first ballot HOFers most of his career. It’s nice that we can make excuses for him when his situation is “less than perfect,” though.
And 'easily his worst year' would be 'easily Fields' best year'. That is the problem. For all the 'he turned a corner' talk this year with Fields, he has not done that - he is still performing at a similar level he was performing at a year ago.
The negatives you're pointing out about Mahomes' production this year - completely fair to point out, he definitely hasn't been his usual self! - are better than Fields' peak. Mahomes' passer rating right now would be his career low (as a starter) by 6 points, and would be Fields' career
high by 7. His QBR this season (63), is 0.8 points better than the worst of his career, and 19 points higher than Fields' this year (44). It's 7 points higher than Fields' last year, which was his best (56).
That you even want to compare these dudes is fucking embarrassing.
