But having those 2 stud receivers on the field at the same time means Burrow is prob better just chucking it up the majority of the time
More than just the weapons, I think this is another trait that Burrow possesses that makes him special. He can manipulate the pocket and even when the rush is starting to close in on him, his vision doesn't narrow. It actually seems to expand. He still sees the entire field.
When under heavy duress, a lot of QBs vision would narrow for their checkdown, or just a quick dumpoff, but Burrow keeps his eyes downfield and waits for that final break. One of the best I have ever seen that this skill. The other that comes to mind is Kurt Warner, and that is not bad company to keep...as Joe is much more mobile than Kurt.
