In his 6 best games, not including his very first start against Pitt, Jax-Cle, Browning completed 71% of his passes for 274 ypg, 10 tds and 6 ints for a 99.5 rating, going 4-2.
Now i need someone to come in here and tell me that a higher comp%, 22 more ypg, 2 more tds, 2 less ints and a difference of 8 pts in passer rating 'isn't that much different'. And he did that in one less game. But they were the same.

Ok, not "the same." How about... Burrow was marginally better. When you compare how much money the two make, the numbers should jump off the page. 3% better completion percentage? 22 more yards per game? Heh. That's well within the margin of error for the fact they didn't play the same teams.
