1. The last 18 QBs to lose their first SB have never started another SB (and only 4 in NFL history have).
Number 1 may be more in Burrow's control to overcome than many of those other QB's that failed if he is truly Great.
Overcoming it would help prove that he is Great but he will still need Coaches & the Organization doing their part.
2. No QB/HC duo in NFL history have ever won their first SB together later than their 5th year together.
Number 2 may relate more to Ownership impatience where they don't allow the Coach & QB to stay together
long enough to get more chances to win.
Example: Coach Marty Schottenheimer Coached QB Phillip Rivers in 2004, 2005 & 2006 and was FIRED after the
2006 season after going 14 and 2 then losing in the Divisional round of the Playoffs. (They didn't even get 5 years together)
*Bengals Ownership may let Burrow & Zac stay together well beyond 5 years giving them more chances to do it.
