What are you talking about? Mahomes is the best football player, maybe ever ! Just watch listen to most of the talking heads.
You seem triggered by this...
Mahomes is pretty damned good, a generational talent. Not sure why that bothers people. He's not stealing anything away from Wilson.
Generational talent?? Is not Wilson in the same generation?
(A month ago, Lamar Jackson was a generational talent.)
RW was Mahomes before Mahomes. Wilson's first few years in the league were met with guffaws and misgivings. He was constantly criticized for leaving the pocket and or being a gimmick player who could not play from the pocket (see Prisco comments in another thread). Now with Mahomes, everything's cool and he's a wonder to behold, doing pretty much what Wilson did/does in an offense that allows Mahomes to "cook" at will.
In the NFL talking heads' world, it's as if Wilson doesn't exist (except for Cowherd).
Mahomes is 3-4 inches taller, that's the only difference. Time will tell if Mahomes is as tough as RW.
