Fans of the NFL have made a comparison between Joe Burrow and his rise to greatness to that of Tom Brady’s.
The young quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals has made history in his brief career.
While he doesn’t have a Super Bowl ring, fans are still seeing him as the next Brady.
But is Burrow the next Brady, or are these comparisons silly to make?
Burrow Isn’t The Next Brady Because He’s One Of A Kind
A commercial Brady did for Under Armour during the start of the NFL season best explains who Burrow is as an NFL quarterback.
Brady’s message to people is to never allow others to compare them to the “next Tom Brady.”
You don't need to be the "next" anybody. You just need to be the best version of YOU. Promise yourself that, and trust me, the rest falls into place. @UnderArmour pic.twitter.com/JoXBU7YNvH

While the commercial inspires young athletes to “be the best version” of themselves, it also serves as a great example for Burrow.
With him, he’s a one-of-a-kind quarterback in NFL history.
He’s not the next Brady, he’s the first, and only, Joe Burrow.
While he can break some records that the G.O.A.T. holds in the NFL, he’s a unique quarterback.
He’s done things that fans never saw Brady do during his beginning years in the NFL.
However, he’s also not doing other things which Brady did, like winning a Super Bowl.
But his current accomplishments make him his own man, as he holds the record for the most 400-yard games by a quarterback in their first three seasons.
This means he’s doing things neither Patrick Mahomes nor Brady can lay claim to in their career.
It’s why no one can compare him to other NFL quarterbacks, as he’s a first of his kind.
