I mean he was slow in that AFC Championship game but I’d rather him be slow and healthy.

I can’t knock a player for not winning if they don’t have a surrounding cast. I can live with the uncertainty of what a Justin Herbert can be somewhere else and see him as a top 10 guy, like Stafford, just unfortunately in a bad situation.
But I can’t wrap my brain around how many fans see Joe Burrow as a top 2 QB. I know Lamar has had a solid defense most his career, but Joe Burrow has had the greatest WR room in the NFL, Mixon, and supposedly a head coach who is known from coming from an elite coaching tree that brought the offense with him.
Offensively, Lamar puts up more points with less.

I can't. In Burrows defense , he has had at times a bad oline. Yet he has incredible receivers and a home run hitting running back.
Lamar is better overall .

But this isn’t fantasy football. Plus it’s easy when you have three #1 WRs who happen to be jump ball merchants

But people think he's better because he puts up the numbers people like to see

Good point
I love stat muse and there visuals too (and idk if this is the case for these stats or not) but they typically include Lamar's games played against in 2018 pre start which messes up a lot of his numbers (obviously in this case too I bet it would make PPG go down cuz Lamar was a gadget WR lol)
But obviously this would just prove your point even further cuz I bet his ppg during starts is even close to 30
One thing I'll say about burrow (as much as I dislike him) is he actually does own mahomes. He truly beat him twice when you watch the second afc champ game, it was literally so rigged by the refs especially at the end (but I was happy about that because I hate the bengals way more lol)
yeah and tackles is the best stat for defensive players .....

Why isn’t he there? It seems most guys that sit out are holding out for a contract.
Here’s a short article from a couple of years ago that talks about players sitting out.

Most is 100% a stretch. Players miss OTAs for multitude of reasons every year.Why isn’t he there? It seems most guys that sit out are holding out for a contract.

i mean these are also GMs and QBs from completely different CBAs lol
these workouts right now are most important for new signings and rookies (and other young players)
if there were a bunch of new receivers or a new C to work with then maybe it'd matter more, but he's honestly going to get more out of working with zay in florida than he is throwing passes to malik cunningham, dayton wade and sean ryan...
