Joe Burrow has only started 42 career NFL games but has made quite a name for himself.
The Cincinnati Bengals have appeared in two-straight AFC Championships, with a lot of credit going to Burrow and the offense.
Hopes remain high for Burrow ahead of the 2023 season, and on a recent installment of NFL Total Access, Brian Baldinger had an interesting comparison for Burrow.
“His ability to go through progressions is like a ginsu knife going through my ribeye,” Baldinger said.

Baldinger had several compliments for Burrow, highlighting his accuracy and decision-making.
Last season, Burrow had the fifth-most passing yards in the league, and his 35 touchdowns were tied with Josh Allen for the second-highest total.
He also completed passes at a 68.3% rate, which was one of the highest marks in the league.
With all of this in mind, Baldinger continued to sing Burrow’s praises, even drawing comparisons to Patrick Mahomes.
He went on to break down five of Burrow’s best throws from last season, showing his ability to thread the needle through tight coverage.
Burrow does have one of the league’s leading receiver rooms, which many analysts use as a crutch when talking about him.
He isn’t likely to have Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins forever, and his window with two elite receivers on this team could be closing.
Can Burrow and the Bengals do enough this season to stand atop the AFC standings, making it to their second Super Bowl in three years?
With a significantly improved offensive line, anything is possible.
