Arrowheadlines: Analyst compares Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes’ prime

Ben Roethlisberger says he’d take prime Aaron Rodgers over Patrick Mahomes: Is he right? A breakdown | CBS Sports

Rodgers had the very slight edge in passer rating and EPA per dropback, while Mahomes had the very slight edge in completion percentage and and slightly larger one in success rate. Rodgers limited interceptions better (including on a per-attempt basis), but Mahomes was better at avoiding sacks. Rodgers created explosives very slightly more often but Mahomes was slightly better at creating first downs and quite a bit better at converting on third downs.

Even their best individual seasons during these stretches (the two years they each won MVP) look remarkably similar.
