We've never saw that before.

Recovering from injury or not, we've never saw that. That was something different then the typical slow start.

That kind of stat line and performance will cause an asterisk to his end of year stats, as they likely won't recover.

Yall thought last year trying to dismiss game 1 to show how good of a season Burrow had was necessary. This year will be the same at the end of the year as he won't be leading the league or top 5 in any QB category after a game like that.

The only reason that is incorrect is that you only need 1 outlier in the positive to balance the 2 games out, to make it a wash. Then when you take the median, it's not skewed in the negative. That kind of thing is more realistic in college football with the playoffs, but it's more likely Burrow has at least one game this year with ridiculously high numbers to negate how bad week 1 was. 

Late season clunkers are the things that start to knock MVP numbers down.
