Joe Burrow and Tom Brady will face off against one another for the first time ever in Week 15. On Sunday, the 9-4 Cincinnati Bengals will visit the 6-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to many, Burrow will eventually make it to Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where Tom Brady will be inducted with a resounding majority once he hangs up his cleats.

These comparisons intensified after Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl in just his second season. Additionally, Burrow wants everyone to know that he is his own person even though he respects Brady’s greatness and longevity.
“I’ve heard stories of Tom Brady going off on people. Joe (Burrow) don’t do that. I would be pissed.”

Brady and Burrow have frequently been compared to one another, and recently Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase was also asked the same question.
What Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase had to say about Brady vs Burrow
Ja’Marr Chase said “Just be mindful of the timing of your decision-making when the ball is in your hands. Tom Brady excels at doing that. Joe does well to ensure that the balls are simply hanging as quickly as he can.”
When questioned about Brady and Burrow’s competitive tendencies, Chase responded, “don’t do that, Joe. I’ve heard stories about Tom Brady berating people for making mistakes. Thus, I wouldn’t want him and would be furious if he turned on me.”
Chase is referring to the well-known Brady sideline meltdowns, which many attribute to his intense dislike of defeat. Tom is known for being a perfectionist who only wants his players to deliver top-notch performances. Even though all of that may be true, it still doesn’t justify his antics when players don’t follow the rules. And that’s what “Joe Cool” doesn’t show you.
Ja’Marr Chase is one of the Bengals’ successful young players over the last three seasons. Chase, the 2021 Rookie of the Year, has quickly developed into one of the NFL’s top wide receivers.
