Part 3/7:
Jason McCourty argues passionately that Burrow's impressive stats and his ability to keep the team in contention late into the season demonstrate that he’s had an excellent year. He emphasizes that Burrow has performed phenomenally despite a subpar defense, suggesting that the quarterback cannot bear the blame alone. Critics often look at early losses, particularly the slow starts from the Bengals in previous years, as potential points of failure. However, McCourty positions Burrow’s efforts as commendable, especially when compared to other great quarterbacks who often required robust defensive support to achieve playoff success.
