Does Burrow need to hit another level?

However, this year, when considering what we’re paying him, he needs to be better. You shouldn’t be paid as the best QB in the league and then play like the 5th or 6th. You should play like top 1-2. Maybe 3. Either way, he’s not good enough right now. We should have beat the Texans. Burrow threw 2 interceptions. That wasn’t elite. And this year he hasn’t been good enough. I wouldn’t trade him for any other QB in the league (except Mahomes. That guy is just too damn good). But my man’s gonna play a little better. Isn’t that fair to say?

I mean....he started the year with an injury. Since week 5...Do I need to bring up the stats again?

1st in completion%
3rd in touchdown passes
4th in yards

When he's healthy, he's still Burrow, and worth the money. 

When he's playing injured, which he clearly was weeks 1-4(couldnt maneuver or scramble in the pocket), then his play will suffer

you're acting like he was healthy weeks 1-4. He's been elite when healthy. And he's currently healthy
