The game is too complex to do so. A QB can take a below average offensive cast and make them good, however. He has no effect on the defense, though. So, the answer to that question is “no, but no one else can either.”

Yes, his stat line wasn’t great, but if you give any QB a bad offensive line it isn’t going to end well. The same argument applies to Brady, Peyton or any other all time great. To be honest, one of the throws he made was quite possibly the greatest throw I have ever seen in all the time I have watched football. Williams dropped it, and it would have been a touchdown.

As it stands today, Mahomes is on a completely different level than Burrow is. It isn’t even close. I hope that Burrow can get there and I do believe he is going to be a good QB, but I’m not willing to bet on him to the point where I’d take him over Mahomes. Not yet, at least. We have only seen nine games of him.

Do you think the Patriots wouldn't have been contenders last year if they still had Brady?
