Burrow's stats look nice same way Kirk Cousins' stats and Dakota Prescott's stats look nice. Padding to the fullest. What do all three players have in common? They can't carry a team on their back. You know, win. Close out games in the clutch and such. They need the ideal situation, all the pieces to fall in place. Oportunistic turnovers by the defense, which if my short term memory serves me well, the bungholes got on Sunday, in OT.
It's not by some strange coincidence that the bungholes dig themselves these deep holes early in the season.
Elite QBs don't put their teams in such holes... but queer looking Joey Burrr certainly does. And when that oportunistic defense is not there to save the day, you become 1–4 and eventually miss the playoffs.
