As a Chiefs fan, I'd say Mahomes is up there, but he's also in a well-run organization which is hand-in-glove built for him. McDavid is doing it in a dysfunctional organization, so doing what he's doing while the team around him are essentially the Browns/Jets makes me respect 97 even more.

Good point.. McDavid supporting cast has not been very good except for LD, a poor defense has taken away from his maximum potential in game dominance.. plus if he had top level finishers on all the gifts he's put on forwards sticks over the years.. he'd have another 200 points easy by now..
Gretzky had Kurri full time on his wing putting everything in the net 99 put on his stick (plus Kurri was excellent 2-way).. and he had a defense that could retrieve pucks, feed him the puck up the ice consistently.. 97 hasn't had the benefit of that at all.
In addition, 99 had a very dangerous 2nd line with Messier and Anderson other teams had to focus on as well.. 97 less so.
Still waiting for McDavid to get some snipe wingers with speed (when LD doesn't play on his wing).. he'd be even scarier

McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
