I have to listen to this idiot at 5:30 AM on my drive to work because nothing else is on. He bashes every white QB and praises every black QB. If a black QB is playing like dog crap it’s never his fault, it’s always the coach and the organizations fault. He’s just a racist period.

I think sometimes people do this shite and don't even realize it. I have a friend who is black that does this (and I assume he's not racist because most of his friends are white). If Lamar loses a game it's always someone else's fault, if Burrow loses a game in the same manner it was because of a mistake he made in the first quarter.

Amongst the current elite in today's NFL?

No question. Burrow, Mahomes, Allen and Jackson are the ones playing at an elite level vs. their peers.

In the overall historical aspect of the NFL, to be labeled as one of the league's all time elites?

Not yet. But if he strings together some more seasons like 2021, 2022 and 2024, he'll end up there.

I'd say of that group of four above, Mahomes has already established himself as one of the all time NFL elites. Burrow, Jackson and Allen seem to be on that path.

Saying outrageous stuff to generate clicks and views is the entire point of these shows, guess the MSB fell for it.

Brees is easily elite in those years but the Saints' success isn't.

I have a friend who does the same but admits the bias.

The collective IQ of that group may not hit triple digits.

Stephen A. also defended Burrow. There’s a clip of this on ESPN.com that’s edited differently - basically swapping in SAS’s response for Cam’s.

Also, Canty seems to hate #JeauxCool

I don’t know who any of those people are and I don’t need to know what they “think “ because I do, based on my own observations and looking at data.

Joe Burrow is elite.

He was a mid tier starter. Let's not act like the guy was an all pro

Super Bowl is in a week and they are talking about Joe Burrow. So yes he’s is elite.

That’s a poor way to form an argument.

Well it's kind of a dumb qualifier. For example, in 2013, you had Brees, Brady, Manning, Stafford, Rodgers, Luck, Rivers and Ryan putting up big numbers. Is it fair to say only 3 of them could be elite at one time?

That’s because he is a huge racist. Just imagine what kind of numbers he would have put up if he had a decent o line. Joe is a Marino type assassin at QB.
