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.

So do you think Mahomes is good enough to make a below average team contenders?

I think he is a top 10 QB who lucked into a great situation with very talented wide receivers and probably the greatest tight end to ever play the game. He had an above average Off line until they were injured and he had Andy Reid as his head coach. Once his line was weak he no longer looked like an MVP QB.

His 2021 Super Bowl stats:
1 Fumble
26-49 passing for 270 yards with 2 Interceptions
Ran the 5 times for 33 yards
Sacked 3 times
QBR Rating of 49.9
