Joy Taylor: 'Joe Burrow Is As Good As Patrick Mahomes And Josh Allen'
CINCINNATI — The national QB debate rages on this week after the Bengals' 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.
Speak host Joy Taylor claimed Joe Burrow is just as good as Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"Let's stop putting the caveat next to Joe Burrow," Taylor said about the tone surrounding Cincinnati's top player. "Joe burrow is as good as Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. He is different. He looks different. He plays the game a little differently, but he is as good as Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. We can then have a discussion about everyone else. Obviously, we're gonna put a healthy Lamar Jackson up there as well because he's a league MVP. But amongst the young quarterbacks, let's stop saying he's in another category. He is right there."
Oddsmakers agree with the FS1 host, as Burrow now sits fourth in MVP odds (+600), behind Mahomes (-333), Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (+450) and Allen, (+550).
The next closest candidate is Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (+10000).
"He can't be the quarterback of the best team, the hottest team in the AFC who went to the Super Bowl last year, beat all these guys on the way there, and is not in that category," Taylor continued. "So where I do think the Bills are slightly better right now. He's in that category. So we got to put some respect on Joe Burrow's name, please."
Cincinnati's six straight wins represent the longest winning streak in the AFC, and Burrow's been lights out through it. He's completed 66.7% of his passes for 1,556 yards, 14 TDs, and 4 INTs while taking just 8 sacks since losing on Halloween.
