Point 1: Mahomes played in 73 games, Dak only 56 and Dak still has him beat in 400 yard games.
Point 2: Mahomes has a god-like receiving unit. Dak has a very good receiving unit but it doesn't compare to Mahomes'. Kelce + Hill > by far anyone we got. Cowboys are receivers by committee. Chiefs have a receiving unit that have been proven unstoppable by 31 teams.
Point 3: Wins are a team accomplishment, so Mahomes didn't win those games on his own.
Again, Mahomes > Dak overall because of his Super Bowl and his postseason accomplishments, but lots of his games are simply because Chiefs are good enough to jump ahead and beat teams without Mahomes needing to do much. Cowboys has a bad defense most of the times, 0 dominant D-linemen, a used up starting running back, and an O-Line that blew the SF playoff game badly. Mahomes O-Line was horrendous in the Super Bowl, but at least they chose the last game of the year to be bad in.
Thoughts?
Point two is subjective because it's difficult to ascertain how each would do with the other's receivers. Did Mahomes make those receivers or did they make him? Do the receivers let down Dak or does he let them down?
Short of a QB swap to find out, it's not so simple. You also have to look at the system the QB's are in and whether or not they are the best for that QB. I don't think Dak is in the best system for him. I'm not sure about Mahomes.
Your point three is a good refutation of your point one. Those yards are a team accomplishment, based on line protection, playcalling, QB play, receiver play, etc. They don't play on identical style offenses with identical players, so the comparison is silly since it too is a team accomplishment.
