You can say that you think he is #1, but to act like he is far and away the best QB in the league is hyperbole IMO. In a best scenario, he is #2. He simply isn't better than Rodgers yet, and that is absolute best case in my mind.
Did you read the reasoning in my post? Feel free to debate my reasoning beyond saying it's silly. Why was my reasoning silly?
Is Aaron Rodgers taking the Bengals to the Superbowl behind that Bengals O Line last season? NO... No, he's not. He's not beating the Titans being sacked 9 times. Not happening. Rodgers choked in his playoff game... Burrow kept his nerve and won in MUCH tougher environments with MUCH bigger stakes and MUCH better opponents to do what he did.
If Joe Burrow were on the Packers last season, are the Packers worse? I don't think so. Not at all. I actually think they are better for it. Same with the Chiefs. If Burrow is on the Buccs... are they worse off? NO. Are the Bengals going to the Superbowl with last year's Tom Brady at QB all season? Hell no. He would be broken in half before season's end behind that line.
Also, Burrow was statistically equal at worse when you factor everything in... Winning a much harder division than Rodgers or Brady faced.
