Lamar is great, but I still feel like his style of play is not sustainable for 5+ years.   And again, he is going to demand top 5 qb money next year.

It cannot be underestimated how much you have to depend on your qb to carry the team once you start paying them 15% (or more) of your total team salary.  Of all the AFCN quarterbacks, I would entrust that kind of responsibility on Burrow more than any of the others.

Second contracts needed to be based on overall performance of your first 4/5 years.. Burrow still has to raise his performance over time to be deserving of  top 5 money...
