Joe Burrow needs toe surgery; expected to be out for 3 months

9. When I think about Joe Burrow, I can't help but think about Archie Manning.

BRILLIANT talent, and a career totally wasted on a terrible team. Others also come to mind, like Andrew Luck, but at least he had some success. Burrow, with the possible exception of Mahomes, is the best pure passer in football today, and he has to lead the offence to about 40 points a game to have a shot at winning...and do that while running for his life.

I firmly believe he should have followed Brady's example and negotiated his contract to more realistic levels to leave more cap space to sign better players. I haven't looked up the comparison, but I'd be willing to make a (small) bet (I might be wrong) that Burrows and others in the stratosphere of salaries make more every year than Joe Montana earned in his career. If not, certainly a comparable amount.
