From everything I have seen Joe was just as fiery and confident last year, but we still went 2-7-1 with him.

I LOVE Burrow as our QB, but his confidence is not the reason we are winning.  I guarntee you that if we lose a few key starters to injury Joe's swagger will not win games for us.

You're right that confidence by itself doesn't win games. But, confidence - when it's backed up by performance - can become infectious and raise the confidence level of everyone...which is more the case with Burrow. His confidence (borderline cockiness at times) has caused an increased confidence level in the other players on this team. All you have to do is listen to them talk about wanting to follow and go to battle with him. Even players on defense have talked about it.
