He’s not crappy, he’s elite, despite what the OP is suggesting. His biggest problem is his availability. Burrow has now missed as many games as Tua due to injury. He will surpass him this weekend.
That said, Burrow has got a lot of mileage out of that Super Bowl run and it’s undeserved. The D CARRIED them to the SB. They caused 9 turnovers that post-season and allowed an average of 20ppg. And those turnovers came in big spots, late in games. The Burrow led offense only put up 23ppg despite the great field position that the D continuously gave them.
Bottom line is there are lots of things to point to that -legitimately- make the case for Burrow being elite. However, a SB appearance (where the Bengals won the turnover battle and only allowed 23 points yet still lost) isn’t one of them.
