He is one win away from having the same amount of wins as Andy had his 2nd year, and has already put up more 40 point games than Andy did. Andy didn’t have a 40 point game until year 3. Burrow has had 3 before year 3.
If he has 10 wins by the end of the year, he would have done so by being down less than Andy was his 2nd year.
Like I said, 4th quarter comebacks are not always a good thing. There is a reason the GOAT, still doesn’t lead the history books in 4th quarter comebacks even though he has played 4 seasons more and many more playoff games more than number 1. His team takes the lead and stays on it, which is what Burrow has done in many of their wins this year.
Palmer only had 6 games of 40+ points in 97 starts.
Dalton had 4 in 133 starts.
Just like with our playoff woes, it had way more to do with Marv's old school conservative, defensive minded approach. He had the mentality that if you kept it close, you could rely on the other team making a mistake.
He didn't go for the throat like Zac, who is an offensive minded former QB.
People want to blame Andy because they don't like Andy. He wasn't a stud top 5 QB. That doesn't mean he's why we lost playoff games. Marv was 0-3 with other QBs. We also weren't dropping 40 burgers much with other QBs.
The fact that Zac is more willing to attack and be aggressive (rather than play not to lose) is just as big a reason as Joe Burrow for why I look forward to the playoffs.
If Marv was still here, he'd keep Burrow on a leash.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
