I will await the explanation for why Joe Burrow, who has career stats and QBR that match Patrick Mahomes…isn’t good enough to win as many games as a game manager like Jalen Hurts, who did absolutely nothing to help the Eagles get to the Superbowl this year.
And it better have nothing to do with the fact that the CIN defense has allowed 25 pts per game since Burrow was drafted. Meanwhile PHI defense has been absolutely dominant both years they went to the Superbowl AND Hurts had the best RB on the planet.
Look at Hurts stats vs LAR and tell me Geno Smith or god forbid Kyler wouldn’t have been able to win that game.
This is the whole point of what JG and Monti are building and it was you guys refuse to see. The question is not about if Kyler can be good enough. JG believes he is better than a game manager obviously but the whole point of this offseason was to take the pressure off of the offense by making the defense a juggernaut.
And wouldn’t you know the best defense Kyler had is when he also played his best.
Burrow is obviously a better QB than Kyler. That is indisputable. But imo he is probably the best QB in the league. Mahomes has never not had a great defense until they got pounded by TB and PHI. He has always had great coaches, GM and offensive talent as well as pretty decent offensive lines up until the superbowl this year.
So when people shake their heads and wonder why Kyler can barely get a .500 record, it is not because he is always choking. It is because he is almost always playing in big games with a defense that is worse than the opponents. Of course he has choked at times, I am not denying that. But you guys just completely ignore context.
Justin Herbert similarily has had this same issue despite being blessed with obvious talent. Last year LAC had the 2nd best defense. They won 11 games.
I don’t buy the arguement that Kyler has a special way of choking unlike every other above average QB who also has struggled to win games cuz the defense and other parts of the franchise are absolutely horrible.
An immature Kyler Murray came to what was frankly a horrible situation when he was drafted by our franchise.
Now every other piece is in place, even MORE than in 2021.
And people are saying we can’t get 10 wins and make the playoffs again with him?
Logically it makes zero sense.
