Is Mahomes the only QB in his prime right now who is an all time great?

I think you are overvaluing MVPs.

Each of the last two seasons he has had more total yards and total TDs than, lets use Lamar Jackson, had in his MVP year.

He also has had more playoff wins each of the last two years than Lamar has in his career.

Yeah, that MVP looks pretty lame compared to Burrow's success. So it is overvalued.

I don't think we need to devalue MVPs to pump up a player. 

Roger Staubach had zero all pros or MVPs (1 2nd place) but I'd put him as a top 5 all time QB.

Probably. But regardless it already has happened. 

Anyway, from my perspective Allen is already on a potential HOF pace regardless what accolades he has or has not received. 

 

It bums me out we love ina world where Eli Manning has a stronger HoF case than Josh Allen (assuming Allen's career ended today)

It was obvious why you brought up that Burrow hasn't won an MVP. Weighing that highly helps bring Burrow down and raise up someone who has an MVP.

Warren moon had unusual  circumstances in his career and narrative that will never be replicated again. It’s a once in a lifetime example. 
 

Josh Allen has literally done nothing of note that countless non HOF QBs have done

Yeah he brought up something that historically people have used in HOF debates. Burrow right now has zero mvps and zero championships

That just leads further credence to the unpredictability of the HOF. I was just stating the facts in regards to his resume. 

Allen has also literally done things on the field that the majority of NFL QBs HOF or not have never done or will do. 30+ plus passing TDs in four straight (guessing he reaches that this year) seasons? Has any non-HOF QB done that? Regardless, he has as much a chance to make the HOF as anybody his age that's ever played at this juncture of his career. 

So yes, it's not just Mahomes for me.

He has only been in the league 4 years, he isn't a HOF'er yet or even close but he is the only QB in the AFC that has even gotten his team to the championship game since he has been in the league not named Mahomes.

Championships and MVPs do get overvalued, Eli Manning shouldn't ever be in an all time great conversation unless you are talking specifically about a playoff run or something like that. Lamar shouldn't be in that conversation either but he had an MVP season 4 years ago and hasn't come close to it since. It is what it is though.

Josh Allen and the Bills got to the AFC title game in Burrow's rookie season. Just sayin.

This is probably the first time in my life watching football where I feel like this, one guy in the league at the position who is an all timer in the prime of his career. Rodgers for example is an all time great but he’s not playing right now and past his prime 

You are probably correct.  The current top guys are not quite at the all-time level.  Could they get there? Sure.  Part of being an all time great is great play over time.  And just being a stats leader, or a top 5 QB at the time makes someone an all time great.  We need to remember that at a point in time, not that long ago, Tony Romo and Carson Palmer were top 5 QBs.  Not to knock them at all, they were very good.  Just not everyone can be an all time great.  

There is also a recent era, where you had Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers all more or less in their primes at the same time.  This leaves really, really good QBs like Phillip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Matt Stafford as "secondary players" because they weren't quite as good.  Who is to say that Josh Allen isn't Phillip Rivers to Mahomes' Peyton Manning?
