Super Bowl LIV: Mahomes Already an All-Timer?

This is a strange cherry-picked stat but I think its worth it. Here's the complete list of playoff performances with 250 passing yards, 3 tds, and 50 rushing yards.


In case it's not clear, the only QBs to have multiple of those performances: Joe Montana and Patrick Mahomes.

Okay, let's do something less cherry-picked. How about regular season QB stats, all-time. (Just did a minimum of 100 completions to weed out any trick plays)

First by passer rating.


What about Adjusted Yards/Attempt?


Hmm...weird. Just the best numbers of all time, huh? 

Now I realize it's easier to have outlier numbers with a small sample size. But it's also rare to have your best seasons as your first seasons. Also, Mahomes, Jackson, Watson, all in good positions on the all-time list. AFC should be fun for years to come.

Ah, but that's the regular season. What about in the playoffs?

Passer rating...


Adjusted yards/attempt?


With 4 games under his belt, Mahomes is up there at the top of the all-time playoff QBs as well.

Maybe one of these years the Bears will have the chance to draft a QB like Mahomes.
