I still think Burrow is clutch. Maybe not as much as I originally thought when we first drafted him. When we first drafted him we felt 2 minutes left in a close game (AFCC) and that was all we needed. He'd find a way.
I do feel like maybe the aura is slipping some given these long stretches of nothingness from the Offense that we've seen not just this year, but last year too. And all we needed was 1 drive for a score in the SB out of the 5+ we had the chance too. And that is notable given the QB's we think of as clutch (Brady) we would think would have gotten something in the 4th quarter given 5 shots.
I'm not sure if it's Burrow or playcalling. I'm willing to blame the playcalling. But who is "clutch" the play caller or the QB? Or the WideOut that helped make the play?
My point of the thread is I do wonder if Burrow is "clutch" the way we may have thought he was coming in. And I do wonder if the term is placed on QB's but really it's the playcalling and or playmakers that help make those moments possible. You never hear of a clutch Wideout, TE or RB..
