Uh. No. 

You should really get on the Youtube and type in Joe Burrow and watch the many videos of people who know these things, break down his game. It's almost impossible to go a day without someone singing his praises and it's not because he throws for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns every game. It is his game. The way he plays, that translates to whether someone thinks he can win a SB. 

There's no doubt that what you've been saying about people (i'm sure i'm one of them) around here talking about "big games" is true but that's something that cements itself years into a career when the number of big games won is minimal. 

Former QBs, WRs, defenders, many people who have played the game and played with great players can see that he has the ability to lift a team like an elite QB does. And don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he's elite right now. He's not. He's just very, very good. 

You're having trouble believing that someone hasn't seen what you're talking about, while being here for the last 5 years. I'm having trouble believing you can't see how he performed under the bright lights last year while putting together the greatest statistical season in college football history and what he's done with this team, this year. I shudder to think what an Andy Dalton or Ryan Finley or Jake Dolegalalala would have done behind this line. I can assure you though, that it would be pretty bad. I made a bigass post last year about how a different QB, on the same type of play, could make a different decision than your average QB, to a more positive result. Burrow is exactly the type of guy i was talking about. He just seems to (almost) always throw it to the exact right place and i've heard several people say that. 

Everyone under the Sun, that has a voice in the digital or social media sings this guys praises constantly and you can't find anyone with just the slightest bit of reputation that doesn't like his game. I'm not sure why you've taken up this flag unless you've simply never read or watched anything that anyone has said about him. 

That reminds me. I was listening to Bengals line and they were talking about an Athletic article that was written about him today. I need to go check that out.
