    31 interceptions in 2.5 years.

    outplayed by Tyler Huntley last week and should have been one and out.

    Needed 3 interceptions from Tannehill last year to eek out a win.

    Bad interception into double coverage last night at crunch time. (6 minutes left)

    He’s good, but don’t build the statue just yet.

    There's all this talk about how he changed the culture there. Guess not.

    Still trash talking, giving teams bulletin board material, too much bravado, calling each other out, and still taking bonehead penalties in crucial situations. Same as they ever were.

    No buts about it. Burrow is good. I get that he has thrown a lot of picks. A lot of that is because he is not afraid to push the ball down the field. It's a gunslinger mentality. Steve Young and Brett Favre threw a lot of picks as well. The same can be said about young Big Ben.

    This. :this!:
    Dude came to a team that has been so dysfunctional that others were telling Him not to go there,....Has taken them to a SB, and a AFC Championship, in the only two whole seasons He played.
    Yet people fall all over Lamar, or Allen who has done what???

    Stats don't tell an entire story, especially if you only look at some.
    I don't care if the dude gets a statue or not. Makes no difference to me. I also don't think that he's Mahomes, but who is.
    But people are forgetting how terrible his Oline has been his entire career. You people who say Mahomes wouldn't have any problems with his Oline are just lying to yourselves. Mahomes holds the ball the longest in the league from time of snap (except for Justin Fields). There's literally only 1 starting QB who holds it longer, although that guy runs a lot so it's hard to even include him). Burrow is the shortest in the league. No QB gets rid of it quicker. There's a reason for that, it's because the Oline can't protect him.


    Despite that his completion percentage and QBR is higher than Mahomes. Don't get me wrong, Mahomes is better, but Burrow is doing a lot with a horrid Oline and a mediocre running game, and he's doing it in only his 2nd full season.

    I hate the Bengals as much as anyone out there, but I can see the reality of the situation. He's a very good QB who is going to be in the playoffs most of his career

    A decent offensive line can change everything. A good or great quarterback will play better with an offensive line. Even though the steelers offensive line got better towards the end of the year, It must be upgraded. The running game was starting to click. Improve that line and the passing and running game improves.

    The bottom line is wins, Despite a poor line, his team has won the division twice, went to a SB and tow conference championship games. One recent poster said he saw enough of him when he went 3 and out in the SB (like no QB has ever done that), what he failed to say was in the last minutes that same QB had a dropped pass that likely would have won that game. Have no idea how Cincy will keep the team together when the contracts start to hit, but Burrow is a leader that will keep them competitive.

    I think Burrow is currently the second best QB in the league behind Mahomes. Not bad for a guy who is still just a 3 year vet.
