Burrow is in the same tier as Allen and Lamar, and there's nothing anyone can say to change my mind. The man's a savage, and Im praying they don't sneak into a WC spot and meet us in the WC round.
He is. But if I'm putting together a ranking of QBs in the NFL, it goes Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and Burrow in the order.
I think, this is just me talking out loud, that Burrow has gotten a lot of mileage out of his two AFC Championship appearances when the media should be talking about the job Lou Anarumo did to get them there. 10 total touchdowns through 7 post-season games is good, but you can't point to that and say "Burrow got them there." He did enough... Anarumo just did more (holding opposing offenses to less than 20 in 4 of the 7 games is almost an automatic win with an offense like that.) And whether people like it or not, a player's greatest asset is their availability. It's also something Burrow has struggled with, while Allen's played through his fair share of injuries.
Lamar isn't much different. He had a monster of a season back in 2019, where he absolutely deserved his MVP. But since then, he's been in and out of the lineup, his passing production has been below average, and his postseason record is disappointing with respect to his status and accolades. You'd figure someone with two unanimous MVP's, and two first-team all-pro selections could manage more than 6 touchdowns and 6 interceptions through 6 postseason games. Yes, there's also the rushing contributions, but even with that figured in Lamar hasn't done enough to even get the Ravens to 0.500 in the post-season, so you're reminded annually that he isn't on Mahomes' tier, despite the hardware.
