If Burrow needs a loaded team surrounded by Chase, Higgins, Boyd, a great offensive line and Lou Anarumo to bail the offense out, Burrow isnt on that level. What good NFL QB couldnt win with this Bengals team and the talent they have surrounding the QB on offense and with Anarumo shutting other offenses down on defense. Burrow needs to step it up
Before anyone reads the below, I will say, have said, and will continue to say that Patrick Mahomes is a HOF QB and an absolute MONSTER player. He deserves his success.
However, Burrow isn't on WHAT level?
Who was Pat Mahomes in the Superbowl LV when he had a trash O line made up of a bunch of backups WITH a very good defense and big time weapons in their prime?
He got SMOKED 9-31. Not even competitive. Joe Burrow had THE BENGALS .5 seconds away from hitting a wide open go route to win the SB. In the exact same situation. Hell, Mahomes had to play in his opponents home stadium and so did Burrow in their SB losses.
Mahomes stat line that game:
26-49 (53% completion)
270 Yards
0 TDs
2 INT
The Chiefs immediately went out - literally that 2021 offseason following the SB loss - and dumped a TON of cash & resources into their Oline by trading for OBJr & signing Joe Thuney, along with draft capital (2nd rd pick Creed Humphrey) because they know that dude needed more time to throw.... AND MAHOMES STILL FOLDED under the pressure from the Bengals D & clutch plays by Burrow when it mattered most in the AFCCG.
- To see Joe Burrow do what he's been doing with THAT Oline, THAT young coaching staff, THAT young roster, for THAT organization, after having THAT injury, and THOSE offseason problems (COVID, REHAB, APENDIX/Intestine removal) says to me that the situation DOESN'T matter. Joe Burrow is going to be there up until the end and his team has a great chance to win. THAT is why he's the better QB, IMO.
