Brees is firey, but more behind closed doors. He argues with his coach and makes his voice heard, but he doesn't disrespect anyone. Burrow, like Brees and Brady, have that chip of disrespect. People will say it is a false bravado, but this is what makes an athlete exceptional: drive. Many have the talent, and the skills, but never become truly special because they lack the drive.
Burrow has commented that his confidence comes from his preparation. I remember hearing Brady say something to the same effect. I think the way Burrow won over the coaches and teammates at LSU before he was "Burreax" speaks volumes. I hesitate to call anyone perfect, but I think he is a perfect fit here, and just what they needed.
Palmer was the spoiled child with all the talent that got pouty when things didn't go his way. He had a great run, and I really liked him early on, but instead of looking at himself, he tended to always blame others. I don't see Burrow ever doing that.
