I think he has tons of potential, but he is not an elite QB yet.  He is putting up big yardage numbers just because he is throwing the ball more than any QB in the league.

If that were the case, every QB would throw it all the time.  He is putting bug yardage numbers because his team needs him to (not playing very good defense).  He has been slowed by one team, Baltimore.  And he will get another shot at them.  

Everyone has different definitions of elite.  Mine is the top 1%, so I have a fairly difficult definition because that means 1-2 QBs in the league are playing at an elite level right now.  So, by that definition, Burrow is not an elite QB yet.  However, Burrow is playing at a level where if his defense held the opponent to 24 points or less, I think Burrow would find a way to win.  I do not see that out of many NFL QBs today (and remember, we are not talking about the Brees, Brady, or Rogers of several years ago, we are talking about today).  I see Burrow as that top 5% of NFL QBs as they are playing today.  And he is getting better each week.
