He said: "You have to go back 20 games to find the last time Burrow was average.....Every game....Every single game the last 20 was elite".
Wow
I think it is a bit of a stretch to call 195 yds and 1 td against Arkansas an "elite" game.
Plus 3 great games at the end of a season don't change the fact that over the first 9 games he completed less than 50% of his passes more times (twice) than he completed over 60% (once). He only had a td pass in 3 of his first 9 games and only passed for more than 200 yds twice.
Even with his hot finish he still ranked 12th in a 14 team league in passer rating.
