Its much easier to make plays when you have 3 Pro Bowlers on the oline giving you the time to make those plays.  Burrow doesn't have any PBers on the oline. The two teams playing in the Super Bowl do have that.

Burrow averaged having a cap hit of around $8m/yr his first 3 years in the NFL and had 0 Pro Bowlers on the OL. The Bengals OL roster was 24th, 27th, and 27th in AAV over those 3 years, and they stink at drafting with their 4 scouts.

Not sure how him being $45m/yr rather than $50m/yr is suddenly going to make the Bengals get 3 Pro Bowlers if they can't/won't do it when he was only ~$8m/yr.
