In the first case, 2018 Mahomes was able to almost single-handedly carry a lackluster (at best) defense all the way to an AFCCG. Wouldn't outperforming that season mean the team around him hasn't gotten any worse than the previous year?
In the second case, the assumption is that there likely wasn't any other QB performances that came close to Mahomes' in the season, implying playoff-caliber teams comprised of '15 Chiefs analogues (good but not marvelous offenses with good to very good defenses), a top defensive team a la the '18 Bears or '17 Jaguars, the Patriots, and rounded out by some weaker divisional champs and wild cards that are average on the aggregate but got a lot of lucky bounces. If Mahomes is the standout singular performance in 2019, wouldn't that also be enough of a factor against the rest of the league?

I just chalk it up to her not making any sense. It's impossible that our defense is worse than last year.
