Explain to me the difference between Burrow and Mahomes when it comes to the team around them?

Mahomes had big time weapons and a strong O-line when he won his first Super Bowl.  He was missing 2 OT and laid an egg against Tampa.

His 2nd Super Bowl he had a top 3 O-line and good weapons.  

Burrow has had great weapons, but a terrible O-line in the playoffs when it has counted.

Mahomes also has had Andy Reid as his HC who is an incredible Offensive mind and experienced HC.

Burrow got a guy in Zac Taylor who hadn't proven much of anything as an OC, let alone as a HC. Before Zac got here people 
had a good argument that he was a bad play caller and it can still be argued at times. There is no question in my mind that 
Mahomes landed in a much better spot to start his career.

I don't know how Mahomes would of handled it if say he started as a rookie and got his knee torn up like Burrow did or had
an inexperienced young HC calling plays for him.
