Right now, I see a very small list of QBs playing well enough to win a Super Bowl. Imagine you are playing the Chiefs, since they are the defending champs. Your defense needs a couple stops...a tipped ball INT, a pass defenses, etc. that gets the Chiefs to punt a couple times. To beat them, you need a QB that can put up 30 on a very tough defense.
I see the following QBs having proven that THIS year:
Mahommes
Wilson
Rogers
Brady (albeit a little inconsistent)
Piggy
I would put Burrow in that category right now based on the play I am witnessing. This, despite a HORRIBLE offensive line (that is starting to improve to mediocre), a poor rushing attack, not much of a defense to speak of, Boyd and a rookie WR being his best weapons, and very questionable coaching decisions early in the season.
He was robbed of a win against the Chargers, and the Colts, Browns (2), and Philly games were lost because his defense couldn't stop anything. Give him HALF those games and he is sitting at 4-3-1. So, you can point to only two wins, but I don't care who was quarterbacking our team in those situations, they would not have won those games, either. I will further add that no QB has taken the pounding that Burrow has this year, and yet, he keeps coming after you.
He has rejuvenated Gio. He made Tate look like a Pro Bowler. He is learning to manipulate the pocket with a very inconsistent lineup lining up in front of him. He is doing it with an underperforming Green and Mixon.
After witnessing all of this, I state that he is playing at a Super Bowl level, and that gets you to call me a radical extremist. I guess we have different definitions of what that is as well.
Yeah, we all know who the radical extremist is round here lol
