Who is more dominant between Mahomes and McDavid is for sure Mahomes. McDavid is further ahead of his peers than anyone else in sports currently but the importance of the QB position far outweighs any position in hockey(you could argue goalie i suppose). In football one elite qb can make you a contender in hockey one player has far less of an impact. I also have no idea about baseball so I will not comment on the other fella.

Question isn’t more important. It’s more dominant. If I needed to win a championship, and could start a hockey team with mcdavid or a football team with mahomes, sure I’ll take mahomes.

But mcdavid is unquestionably more dominant, with a larger gap to his peers both currently and historically. Relative importance to winning a championship doesn’t change that.

I think the interesting argument is Ohtani, not because he’s absolutely the best hitter or the best pitcher, but simply he’s so good as both in a way nobody has been in a century, basically. so his dominance is really unique, since it’s in a way nobody else really can dominate.

McDavid is the most dominant male in team sports right smack in the middle of his prime. He is lapping other players at this point.

McDavid is ahead of Mahomes but I have no idea about Ohtani other than that Phtani's success seems much more novel.

Comparisons between Mahomes and McDavid is tough. One player is on the field for nearly half the game. Touches the ball on every offensive play. The other plays 20 minutes a night and an elite #1 C by default will never be as critical as having an elite QB. You can win a cup these days without an elite #1 C. Go take a look at the past 14 SB winners. Minus two all time defenses, you aren't winning a SB without an elite QB and/or a QB playing elite going into the game.

Ohtani is probably the most dominant. But his impact, due to the nature of baseball, has not made an impact on the Angels winning.

Ohtani by a country mile.

He’s the equivalent of an NHLer who can play both goalie and forward at pinnacle elite level. The dude is a unicorn.

ohtani by a mile.

he’s a top tier, legitimately elite hitter and pitcher.

call me when mahomes also puts up 15 sacks or something.

not really a good comparison with hockey, but it would be like mcdavid also being a vezina caliber goalie.

Except hitting and pitching is not comparable to playing center and goalie in Hockey. Pitcher's been hitting forever, you never see any centers playing goalie during the third period.

Although I agree that the answer is Ohtani.
