Burrow's surgery

Great early success, signs huge contract and then gets a severe injury. Or, is he just an updated version of "Man of Glass" Eifert. Either way, Burrow's trajectory is starting worry me.”

Where did I try to compare the talents/achievements of the two athletes. I only trotted out the Bailey playing history (my naive mistake) when you decided to focus on a performance detour. My original post was intended to focus on the similar situations, or as bgfine aptly noted, “highly drafted prospect, performed well, got lucrative contract, got hurt.”

And will stand by my opinion that Bleacher Report is more credible than you.

Saying strawman argument has to be one of the most overused dismissive nonsense tactics on the internet. Let alone while apparently ignoring the entirety of my posts that specifically address the things you're accusing me of pushing away from. I've continually addressed the fact that Homer Baily wasn't good, he didn't have "great early success" because he was terrible until his 6th year and his "huge contract" wasn't huge it was 57% of what the top pitcher in MLB was making. So I am not sure where you're getting that. He was a mediocre player who got overpaid due to hope. Burrow is an elite player who got paid because he was already playing MVP caliber football. They aren't even close to being the same situation. Have a good one.
