Chiefs: 3 reasons Patrick Mahomes is set up to beat Josh Allen long-term

1. Patrick Mahomes has an offensive-minded head coach and Josh Allen does not

This is the single biggest advantage Mahomes has over Allen long-term. As long as Andy Reid remains the Chiefs head coach, Mahomes will have a distinct advantage over Allen. This is because Mahomes has an offensive-minded head coach and Allen does not. Though Sean McDermott has been amazing for Buffalo, what happens once Brian Daboll leaves Orchard Park in a year or two?

Under Daboll, the former Wyoming Cowboy has been transformed from a bucking bronco into a noble steed. Allen could have busted catastrophically if he went to the wrong team and the wrong coaching staff. Fortunately for him and all involved, that did not happen. However, we all have to understand that Daboll will be an NFL head coach in 2022 because he should already be one now.

When you lose a stellar offensive coordinator, it does not matter how good your quarterback is, the offense will regress. But when you have an offensive-minded head coach like Reid, it does not matter if offensive assistants like Doug Pederson, Matt Nagy or Eric Bieniemy leave for other jobs. Reid is the straw that stirs the drink. As long as he is in Kansas City, Mahomes has the upper hand.

While Mahomes and Allen can be all-timers, Mahomes is poised to have more success than Allen.
