Sure, Burrow was a tad older, and coming from the SEC, but he joined a team that actually earned their #1 pick, and had a coaching staff we’re still questioning 4 years later. I think Burrow had the tougher hill to climb. Definitely tougher than Mahomes who got to sit a year behind Smith, and landed in a young QB’s dream spot with Andy Reid, and ready built team.

Yep Josh Allen actually went to a good team.
The big question for him was can he improve his deficits and become a good QB.
BUF has helped him do that.
They went from a good team to a great team.

Bengals have gone from a bottom-tier team to now an inconsistent team. An improvement, but not where we'd like, especially after seeing them (luckily) get to the Super Bowl. Expectations got elevated after last year.
