I hope he plays for 15 more years, wins multiple SBs, MVPs, all that shit. I hope he retires with the arguments as the GOAT. 

Not being able to be superman and pull games out late is going to make that very hard though. 

Maybe he should have thought about it before going the Batman route...

Nah, it is Burrow's fault too, you just said he failed every single time to make a clutch play to win us the game. I am just saying there 
have been other factors at fault as well, poor OL play, WR's not getting open etc.

He does need to make the throw to win us the game much more often and he has failed this year multiple times to win it for us. The 
historically bad Defense has made it really hard on Burrow is all I am saying, him playing this well and still not being able to get wins 
is just crazy is all I am saying. Mahomes gets all the help, his Defense, his IOL, the refs etc.

Burrow gets none of this help.

Focusing on some subjective “clutch” gene or whatever the **** is ridiculous during a season like this, and is the definition of not seeing the forest for the trees.

Yep, historically Joe is the only QB to play this good and have so many losses at this point in a season.

He's playing superman with an offensive line and defense that are bottom of the barrel. 

1. Burrow is having the best year of his career.
2. Burrow is failing to produce GWDs multiple times this year.

Both of those things can exist at the same time. The entire argument is, some will look at his overall numbers and ignore his failures. Some will look at his failures and ignore his overall numbers and some will look at his overall numbers, look at his failures and be able to see that both can be happening at the same time. 

It's up to each person to decide which category they want to place themselves in.

Well, you did say he failed every single time to make a clutch play to win games this season which isn't true.

But I agree with everything else you say here Rfaulk.
