3. Joe Burrow deserves to be in the conversation with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes

Just as Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady seem to be heading in the wrong direction Allen and Mahomes matched up and reminded everyone just how great they are. Allen and Mahomes have dominated the conversation when it comes to the top quarterback in the league and it is understandable when you consider the immense talent both players have.

However, if you’re Joe Burrow how are you not in the same conversation? Already Burrow has made a Super Bowl with a historically inept organization while Allen hasn’t made it past Mahomes in the playoffs.

Burrow beat the Chiefs after Mahomes beat the Bills last season and earned his first trip to the Super Bowl this all in his first full year as a starter. Atlanta had a front-row seat to just how special this kid is and you cannot help but sit back and appreciate the greatness even when it is at your own team’s expense.
