When talking about Joe having players around him that elevated his play, Brady (and many others including his teammates) have been quick to point out that Joe also elevated the play of everyone else around him. 

I don't think it's fair to say that Joe was great because of the coaches and surrounding cast, without also acknowledging the incredible things he did to make the 'system' work and put his play makers in a position to shine, even when forced to go off-script and create his own plays, which was quite often.

I don't really care if it was the system or he himself was that good.  In watching him play it was fairly apparent he had control of those in the huddle, was calm under pressure and made plays.  These are leadership trait, first by demeanor and then by results.  You can't be a good leader by just being vocal, you have to get the results.  That's the biggest thing I noticed about Burrow.  Historically leadership at QB translates very well to the NFL.
