As far as we football old timers on a message board during the offseason go, yes.  But Joe Namath shows how winning even the slightest bit in the right markets can go a long way when it comes to national recognition.

Winning 1 SB in Chicago or New York or Dallas could go a long way IF Burrow is gunning on being some sort of pop culture icon, which I don't think he is.  Joe Flacco was a SB MVP and he never lit up the media world.  Even the Mannings, and Gronk, and Mahommes get their national spotlight in commercials where they are played like idiots.  I just don't see Burrow being the dumbass in a commercial for insurance, and even if he does stuff like that I don't think it's going to validate or justify making QB money like he's Daniel Jones.

Just my 2 cents.  If Burrow wants to be a celebrity he needs to start being an off-the field distraction now, because he can't just start being an fame ***** once he's 41 and out of the game, 4+ SBs or not.

I'd rather we just pay Burrow whatever he wants and let him keep eating/breathing/crapping football 24/7 and take my chances with less cap room than hope that he's already thinking today about making commercials in 2035.
