I'm young enough to have not really watched Anderson but I saw Boomer play plenty games. I do think Burrow is more talented than Boomer and I'd have to check out some YouTube clips to develop an opinion about Burrow compared to Kenny.
Oh, sure! I can't debate those who rank Anderson and/or Boomer over Burrow. I think it's interesting to hear the different criteria people go by in their rankings.
I went more by talent, on field play, ceiling, circumstances, etc.
On the guys who played longer careers I looked at who they were long term as well, which is part of why I have Carson over Boomer. I also think he overcame a lot more organizationally.
Burrow doing what he did last year, I just don't see Kenny Anderson making that happen. I don't see many QBs in NFL history doing what Burrow did when you take in all things considered. ZT being a new (historically bad) coach, previous seasons of being horrendous, knee injury, young roster, the horrendous o line, and the Bengals path to the SB. The whole 2021 season for Burrow was a masterclass in QB'ing, leadership, and toughness.
