Top WR doesn't equal best pass catcher.  Kelce is that.  But no, Burrow isn't there yet either way

Don't think we can say either way, since it's hypothetical.

Where Mahomes is the clear winner to me, far and away, is his pocket presence and ability to extend plays.  That part of his game is the best I've ever seen.  Burrow had that in college, I haven't seen it in the NFL.  

That, and Mahomes seems to have a better arm.

you're not old enough to have watched Fran the Man

[OrangeAfroMan]

You old guys sure loved your artful scramblers.  Didn't matter if they were average QBs.  Tarkenton, Staubach, etc....

[FearlessF]

Tarkenton and Roger the dodger went to a few SBs

Sir Francis stats at the end of his career were impressive at the time

for their time, they were solid HOF ers.

the dark ages

hell, place kickers were still using shoelaces to tie up the toe of their kickin shoe

Elway could scramble and throw - but i didn't like him

[FearlessF]

nobody liked ol donkey teeth

friggin spoiled brat from Stanford

threatened to play baseball cause he didn't like the NFL franchise that drafted him

didn't accomplish squat until Terrell Davis arrived

[Cincydawg]

My hazy memory is that Fran was the first QB to use scrambling as a weapon (aside from the wing T days).  This of course is a bit like wondering how Ty Cobb would bit off modern pitching.  He once opined he might hit .280.

Of course, he explained he was 70 now.

[MikeDeTiger]

Oh, and I forgot the other obvious advantage Mahomes has over Burrow.  His State Farm insurance commercials are hilarious, Burrow doesn't even have a commercial.  

Mahomes >>> Burrow, sorry MDot.   

[Abba]

Or as I far as I know, Burrow doesn't have an annoying brother.

Well stink and O-Line helped a little. By the 4th Qtr of the SB you and i could have shoved the Packers D-line around. They had been partying all week as vegas had them favored heavily and they bought into it

[FearlessF]

and the Packers sucked

they always have a HOF QB and little to show

An Alamo Bowl rematch, of sorts, will take place on Sunday, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and Kansas City Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne will see their two teams meet in this weekend’s AFC championship game.

The 2005 Alamo Bowl would see the Cornhuskers (7-4) travel to San Antonio, Texas, to take on No. 21 Michigan (7-4). Taylor and Henne would be the two starting quarterbacks in the postseason face-off. And the Huskers would come out on top with a 32-28.

The victory would be former Head Coach Bill Callahan’s lone bowl win as head coach at Nebraska. Athletic Director Tom Osborne would fire him following a 5-7 season in 2007, ending his Nebraska career with a record of 27-22 overall.
