Not all that impressive in today's NFL.

He also has elite coaching as well.

I think he's a QB that gets fawned over way too much given all the context, but....what? 

How is that not impressive? He hasn't played any more regular season games this year than the others have. And only one other person ever did it more than once. Mahomet could easily get to 3 before his 10th season.

For the record, Mahomes has 5048 yards and 40 TD after 16 games.

He did 5000/40 in 2019 so this is twice. Only one other QB has done it twice and only a Hall of Fame list has done it once--Brady, Manning Marino, and Stafford. OK, maybe Stafford is not HoF. Still, this is very fast company.

Somewhat related, Jerick McKinnon quietly became the first RB of the Super Bowl era to post TD receptions in five straight games.

That's 5000 yards and 40 TD in a single season. The game is still in progress but Mahomes has the 40 TD. He crossed 5000 yards earlier in the game.

Drew Brees had been the only one to do it twice. Brady, Manning, Marino, and Stafford have done it once. 

Gotta be mvp

Marino had 5,084 yards and 48 TD's after 16 games in 1984. So similar. Just switch the 8 and the 4. 

Playmakers make plays. I'd vote Mahomes MVP this season. He lost his most productive WR yet still balled out. Questions were answered.

In 2018, Mahomes had 5097 yards and 50 TD in 16 games.

50 TD has only been done three times--Manning 55, Brady and Mahomes 50.

Of course, though we don't compare 2018 to 1984 directly because the pass defense rules are different now, massively favoring the offense. Not the same.

Like you can't compare 1984 stats to 1970 because the pass defense rules were different. Not the same. 

Which means if the 1984 stats were even a Little Bit Close to the 2018 stats, you know the 1984 guy was lighting the world on fire. 

And I'd still vote Mahomes MVP this season.
