Joe Burrow can never ice a game

I think Allen is a great QB, but to me he seems to have problems winning when the lights are on. It's not as simple as this obviously, but he's 5-5 in his playoff career, and the Bills have had a pretty good team around him for most of that time as well. 

Joe Burrow is 5-2 in the playoffs, with a defence that has done a lot of carrying... but he's 5-2 while getting sacked every other play, and with no serious run game. 

In the regular season... unfortunately Allen's injury record clearly beats Burrow's, but their regular season stats are similar when looking at the year's Burrow has actually been fit for the season... with Burrow having a higher completion%, slightly more yards on average, slightly more TDs and slightly few INTs. 

Interested to hear why you think Allen is a better QB?

better Arm, better athleticism, more of a threat with the ball in his hands, got more out of less weapons, doesn't need a half of a season to get warmed up, and he had that win (that he lost in 13 seconds) against Mahomes. Overall there was more of a question if he was better than Burrow in 21-22, but certainly not anymore. Allen can make happen what Burrow can't. 

Honestly Burrow has lost a ton of luster across the league with many of these young QB's taking his spot in the top 5.... 

Burrow really is damaged goods. Can we win with him yes, does he carry the aura that he used to around the league. No.
