Throwing a lot of picks doesn’t necessarily negate being a franchise QB. Mahomes is doing the same thing this year. Palmer was literally nicknamed “pick 6 Palmer” by the end of his time here, and yet he still went on to be a franchise QB for Arizona.

We should be able criticize Burrow without longing for Andy Dalton.
