I would take Mahomes current situation over Burrows. I watched last years Super Bowl and Mahomes looked average at best.
Had the Bengals drafted Mahomes I doubt he would have led us to a Super Bowl by now. He is in a great situation in Kansas City. If Joe Burrow could line up this year for the KC Chiefs I would be putting my money on them to win Super Bowl.
This is a really shocking opinion to me. There really isn’t a scenario where I wouldn’t take Mahomes over Burrow. Mahomes is just a year older and already has a SB and a league MVP. He is a literal wizard on the football field. He is significantly better than Burrow. To bet on Burrow being able to provide that level of play during his rookie contract after a significant injury is a hefty bet to make.
To be honest, I probably wouldn’t take Burrow over Lamar Jackson, either. I am thrilled with how well Burrow played last season, given the circumstances, but I’m not ready to crown him as the next generational talent. I need to see more than nine games of him before I start taking him over league MVPs and SB winners.
