Burrow is a great example of the inconsistency of NFL fans and media. Dude is always hurt, has never won anything in the NFL, yet always gets included in the top 5 QB convo automatically. It just shows that when you have a reputation and a draft pedigree, people will give you endless chances. They'll dismiss every bad game with excuses.

Nobody has ever claimed Burrow is just coasting on Zac Taylor's offense, or overperforming because he has Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins.

Purdy has to move mountains just to get a little credit, and even then its mostly ignored as being a product of his surroundings. Then one bad game and hes back at the bottom with everyone saying "See, we told you he sucked. Finally came back to earth." Burrow and Purdy are a great example of how people view you as the number 1 pick vs the 262nd pick.

Their careers are actually quite similar, even.

He just needs a place where he can have fun again

I see Joe Burrow is still in the 49ers News.
I don't know what's going on in Cincy, but I believe that whether there or somewhere else, Burrow needs to assume or grow into a different type of leadership.
His throwing abilies are, in a way, unmatched. But he's got to lead men with his (1) attitude (2) words (3) actions off the field, including in front of press conference cameras.
Saying I'm not having fun sounds like he wants everybody to bring the football cotton candy and Smurf R Puff 'n Stuff toysTO him. Instead of he himself helping to CREATE a more fun atmosphere, EVEN in the face of losing some games. By now he should be No. 1 on the Bengals' nominee list for NFL Man of the Year. But has he ever been?
It's not just the last press conference that's got me all in a Forget you Joe frame of mind. But every press conference I can remember with him speaking, he's always had this sullen and sad look about him.
Learn to be Grateful Joe, for all you've got!

It's kind of eerie.

Both have been to the same number of Conference championships and Super Bowls. Both have had the same number of playoff runs.

Purdy CLEARLY has the better coach, while Burrow CLEARLY has the better WR corps.

Both have meh-to-bad offensive lines.

Burrow has had two more seasons and been injured more.

Yet, as mentioned, Burrow keeps getting listed as a top 5 QB while Purdy struggles to be considered a top 12 QB.

Draft bias is a real, real thing.

I love Joe Burrow: same with Josh Allen - fav player out side of 49ers. Shane he's a bengal, such a crappy org,

It's not just me man, it's anyone that gasps when he waits a bit too long and just throws it/seem to force it. That's what I'm talking about. I didn't have that with feeling with Mac. I didn't have that with Purdy in 2023.

That's a you problem. You also seem to understand that this isn't the 2023 team. CMC lost juice as a runner(averaging almost 2 yards less per carry). No Aiyuk at the X really opening up things underneath or down the field.

The windows are smaller. No wonder things look tougher.

I don't disagree with your overall statement but I also don't want people acting how they're the same QB. Burrow is simply better and that's not a knock on Brock who is also a really good QB in his own. Burrow is just a level above. They have similar traits but Joe is a better thrower of the football.

But yes I do agree that Brock gets a very different set of rules in part due to his draft pedigree.

Burrow is listed as a top QB only because he has the ideal size and a great arm. He's always been good on deep throws. Those are traits that coaches and scouts love and Purdy doesn't have them. Purdyu relies on other things to play well. Things that can't be measured. It's a perfect example of why QBs get selected early in the draft and then never live up to their potential. Combines and physical traits are often used to select players instead of actual game performance.

Burrow has those things too though...

And it's not like Burrow's arm is special. It's just clearly better than Brock's.

Joe's way to win games is very similar to Brock's. Anticipation, accurate throws and spreading the ball to his playmakers and ability to make key plays with his legs without being a running QB.

I didn't mean to imply that Burrow is a knucklehead that relies completely on size and athleticism. I was just trying to state why people look at Burrow and see special while looking at Brock and seeing just okay. Those physical traits are easy to see while the other things aren't.

He's starting to look and play with the confidence he had back In 2023.

But how is Burrow better?

Purdy: 67.6 comp.%, 8.7 Y/A, 103.6 passer rating
Burrow: 68.2 comp.%, 7.4 Y/A,100.2 passer rating

People have been telling you Burrow is a top 3 franchise QB for years, but what has he done differently than Purdy to set himself apart? Burrow has two career games with a passer rating 140.0+. Purdy has seven of them.

I like our chances with Purdy. Get him an OLine and a #1 receiver and he will make grown men cry

How is Burrow better? Because there isn't anything that Brock does that Burrow can't do. The same cannot be said for Brock.

Once again I'm not here to knock Brock. Anyone who has been in this thread in the last few months knows I'm a big believer and supporter of the guy but I'm not going to ignore reality to prop him up.

I don't know about that. Brock is a much more effective scrambler.

Burrow's height and arm are better than Purdy's, and everyone should be able to agree on that. I will give Purdy the edge on escapability, though.
