When you factor in the running, I think it can be an easier sell.
Passing stats over the past two regular seasons:
Burrow (32 games) - 69.3% completion for 9086 passing yards, 69 TDs, 26 INTs
Allen (33 games) - 63.3% completion for 8690 passing yards, 71 TDs, 29 INTs
Rushing stats over the past two regular seasons:
Burrow - 115 attempts for 375 rushing yards, 7 TDs
Allen - 246 attempts for 1525 rushing yards, 13 TDs
Total pass+rush:
Burrow - 9461 yards, 76 TDs
Allen - 10215 yards, 84 TDs
Comparing Mahomes (34 games) - 10089 pYards + 739 ruYards = 10828 yards, 84 total TDs, 25 INTs
I think what a lot of people are overlooking is just how bad our line has been compared to the Bills' o-line.
Burrow was among the least amount of time to throw from the pocket at 2.2 seconds and Allen had 2.5 seconds, which may not seem like a lot, but the NFL is bang-bang and 2.2 seconds to throw is ranked something like 50th.
If our line protects Burrow even at an average rate, he'll be the top quarterback in the league........ EASY.
