Last year. he operated very effectively and efficiently in the system that he was given to work with, and made quite a few plays that we see on a more regular basis this year.. Working in Brady's system, he has been able to showcase his skill set to the max, and develop those talents to an even greater level.
Has Brady's system helped him and allowed him to flourish? Sure. Has the weapons around him helped elevate his play? No doubt. The thing is though, if you watch Joe this year, he makes the Tigers better as well. He also elevates the play of those around him. He gives his play makers opportunity after opportunity to shine. His performance when under pressure, or when forced to improvise, shouldn't be overlooked either.
The kid has worked his ass off to get to this point and he has continued to develop and improve his talents. His calm, cool and collected style...along with the natural moxy and leadership he brings, makes him a very 'complete' QB in my opinion. He may not be the most talented overall, or the naturally gifted...but when you account for everything he does offer, it definitely makes him 1st pick of the draft worthy.
One thing that most people could likely agree on is that it may take a Special Talent at the QB position to elevate the Brown Family's Franchise.
Someone that can carry a team that has some holes in the Roster since the Brown Family seems hell bent on having holes.
My gut says that Joe Burrow will be coming to Cincinnati and hopefully he is Special enough to overcome the obstacles that will likely be here within the Organization to drag him down.
Burrow may have to carry the Bengal Brain trust on his back in order to get the Team to a Playoff win or better.
Be Special enough to Win in spite of them and their Front Office shortcomings.
