... a special QB/WR combo from years ago, Montana and Rice.

I'm not referring to similarities in how they play, but rather how they can impact a game.

Burrow has been sacked more than any other NFL QB this season, and it's not because he's not reacting fast enough or doesn't have pocket awareness. It's because the Bengals offensive line is still among the worst in the NFL. That's what will probably bite them in the butt in the playoffs at some point.

Pro Football Focus (PFF), which analyzes player performance much more than relying on typical stats (such as PFF considering on-target passes from QB's whether they're completed or not), currently has Burrow as their #1 QB for the entire NFL. Tom Brady is their current #2.
