Perhaps someone needs to have a mature convo with him letting him know that we have other schemes that work too - other than him just being expected to make insane passes to Chase and Tee.
The pressure on him to get this city a SB win must be awful.
yeah, I remember people trying ot argue the money doesn't change anything, please! Even if it has zero effect on Burrow it still has an effect on everyone else in the locker room. There could be a 1% greater chance that the team is depending on the rich man to pull through for them whereas they're doing anything they can to help the poorest guy on the team lol. The gap in Browning's few performances and Burrow might have done is not staggering, but he has to keep it up for seasons before they could be compared.
I don't think Burrow is really affected by pressure though, that is also why he performs well. Same with the best in any other sport.
I do think Burrow will be different next year after seeing Browning perform so well in his absence.
