Burrow lifted an entire franchise from playoff purgatory in his first full year playing in the NFL. He transformed the city and worldwide fan base.
The real true ranking is: who would want to be your teams QB? There is absolutely no one else I would want for my team's QB other than Burrow.
Yep. I'd take him over any of them.
I haven't seen this awesome breakdown of Burrow posted yet but I spent the last 10 days in the Alaskan wilderness so I may have missed it.
I have Burrow as a borderline top five guy right now. There are five guys that I don't feel like there is a strong argument that Burrow is better than right now (Rodgers, Allen, Mahomes, Brady, Russell Wilson). I think that 6-10 list has guys like Herbert, Burrow, Prescott, Stafford and Lamar. That 6-8 spot is Herbert/Burrow/Stafford, in some order, in my mind. I think that with another year of experience, better protection and offensive continuity, Burrow will be challenging for a top two spot by end of season. His play after the bye week was just phenomenal.
Heck with it..I'm going with Joe at #1 until someone else knocks him off it.. After last year and 70 sacks to make it to the SB and almost win the darn thing at the gun? It's not even debatable in my mind.

To me...Lamar is the kind of guy that's really good in the beginning. Then defenses adjust to him and he doesn't have the ability to compensate.
During the regular season, sure. He's going to get some numbers but when the playoffs start and you're going against the better teams, he's shown to be a little lacking.

I know I'll sound like a Homer, but I don't think there's any QB that's better than Burrow.
Ben also took a beating on the field by holding onto the ball too long, extending plays, and just scrambling because he had no offensive line.
I know better than to bet against Brady, and I still think he'll be a winner, but I don't think he'll be better than Burrow. He had the most completions of his career last year, most most yards, and second-most touchdowns, so I think he still puts up top tier numbers, but I don't think he can keep up with Burrow in a shootout.
He also threw the ball about 100 times more than his most ever in a season.
2nd most ever for the regular season, 8 behind Staffords 2012 totals.

I think he could easily be #1 by the end of this season.
That's how good I think he is and will be.
Same way I feel, I voted top 3 though as there isn't a QB I would want more than Burrow. I agree and think Burrow will be #1
after this season where he may very well break records. Extremely excited to see what Burrow does with a decent OL and a
running game with Chase, Higgins and Boyd. Also Hurst should be an upgrade in pass catching at the TE position.

That’s like saying Baker is better than Burrow because he’s 3-0 against him. Mahomes has a ring and an MVP. I’m as big a fan of JB9 as there is, but there’s just no way we can already put him ahead of Mahomes.
That said, I do think Burrow could end up being better. Mahomes completely wilted against Tampa when his OL wasn’t good: Burrow otoh beat a Titans team in the playoffs while being sacked a record 9x.

Eventually, i don't care how much he takes care of his body, Brady is going to fall off a cliff. I don't care what you do, evenutally, your body just says "sorry, i can't do that anymore". No amount of medicine or green shakes can fix that.
Ben thought he could do it and he fell off a cliff last year. I expect Brady to do that this year.
Faulk, I've been saying this for 10 years now lol... I got Burrow 2 right behind Allen..

That's alright, I can

I hope no one accuses me of throwing shade on Burrow by saying this. I would say the exact same thing about Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers if they were in this position. Burrow could have one of the best seasons of his career because he may never have 3 WRs this good again.
Burrow will always be one of the top QBs in the league. But this year he has a good shot at MVP type numbers. If every one stays healthy I'll be disappointed if he doesn't.
Over the last two years Rodgers has completed .698% of his passes for 8400+ yds, 85 tds, and only 9 ints for a 116.7 rating. Burrow could put up crazy numbers and still lose to Rodgers, but there is no shame in that.

I agree. Burrow is our guy, so some of these positions are understandable but Burrow doesn't have the resume to claim he is better than Mahomes, yet. One way to think about it is if Burrow had accomplished what Mahomes has (MVP, OPOY, AP, SB Victory, SB MVP, the fantastic statistical seasons) and another team with a young hotshot QB claimed their guy was better, the collective Bengals fanbase would just say "lol k".
I do think he will get there. Burrow may not be as flashy as Mahomes, but he has all of the ability to be better. He's just young.
