[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you got Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes mixed up.  [/quote]

Op definitely got them mixed up[/quote]

I don't understand what is obnoxious or arrogant about Patrick Mahomes. He seems like a very low-key person generally and I've never seen him act arrogant or inappropriate? I've heard some things about his family (wife, brother, dad) that kind of make me role my eyes, but that's not him, and he's far from the first pro athlete to have some annoying family members getting press, that's really common. I, too, have family member who say and do obnoxious things at times. It's relatable.

But Burrow has said a number of things in the press that I find eye roll inducing, including his comment about "the window is my entire career" regarding the Bengals winning a title (just very me-centric and lacking humility, especially from someone who has only been in the league a few years). I also found it silly when he made those comments about "better send those refunds" regarding the tickets the NFL had sold to the possible neutral site game between the Bills and KC had the Bills won (obviously tickets to a neutral site game might require more planning on the part of fans so it would make sense to open up ticket sales early -- it was not an insult to the Bengals and I'm sure the NFL was always prepared to refund those tickets without much effort).

It just seems like Burrow is a big talker AND has a chip on his shoulder, even though he's just a talented but still very young QB with pretty limited experience. I think going to the SB in his second year gave him this idea that the Bengals are going to be perennial contenders, and that's going to be hard for him when his own contract is what is likely to limit their ability to put together great teams every year. I do think Burrow could learn from watching other QBs (including Patrick Mahomes!) in terms of how the keep their heads down a bit more, talk up their teammates, and focus on the game itself instead of extraneous BS like media coverage. He definitely rubs me the wrong way and it's not just because of his clothes (which yes, are dumb) it's because he behaves like he's an established elite QB and he is not. I find his personality quite grating.[/quote]
