Burrow can too.
Some of you all are absolutely nuts when it comes to Joe Burrow.
I've seen him compared to Tom Brady this offseason, I've seen him compared to Aaaron Rodgers, and now I'm seeing that he can elevate WR's like Patrick Mahomes.
Can some of you guys pump the brakes just a bit?
Joe Burrow was 24th in the league this year in QB rating. He had 13 TD's and 5 INT's through 10 games (Projects to 21 TD's and 8 INT's). A fair ranking for 2020 performance, can be seen here, where he ranked 18th among starters: https://www.nfl.com/news/qb-index-ranking-the-59-starting-quarterbacks-of-the-2020-nfl-season
Look, I like Joe Burrow. I like him a lot. I think he can be a very good QB in this league, and maybe even great. But people already putting his name in there with Brady, Rodgers, and Mahomes is frankly absurd. We can't count on him to elevate talent to those levels yet.
