Many dub Brock Purdy as the second coming of Tom Brady after the rookie’s 7-0 start has taken the 49ers to the NFC Championship. However, before Purdy, there was Joe Burrow. He still is, as the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback led his team to a commanding win over Josh Allen’s Bills. And Brady saw all of that.

However, what the footballing world cannot wait to see is the much-awaited rematch of last year’s AFC Championship bout between Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes. And the Tampa bay Buccaneers’ QB Tom Brady is equally excited. And Brady will probably choose Burrow over Purdy to pass the baton.

Joe Burrow has impressed TB12 with his style of play

The Lamar Hunt AFC championship trophy is up for contention this Sunday. And Tom Brady has been tracking Joe Burrow for a long time. Ever since his rookie days. Burrow spent his rookie season injured. However, since then, it’s been two back-to-back AFC Championship appearances for Burrow’s Bengals, the first time in franchise history. And TB12 likes Joe’s style.

“He starts a little slow. And then comes on and plays an incredible last three-quarter of the season to get his team to the Super Bowl,” Brady said before adding some more praises. “I love seeing him [Joe Burrow]. I love a good QB. The guys who throw it to the right place. When they are standing in there in the pocket and taking hits. I like it when they’re fired up and they lead their team. And that’s what it’s all about,” Brady said on the Let’s Go Podcast.

And what makes this even more special is Brady showering the praise in the presence of Burrow’s upcoming rival head coach, Andy Reid.

Tom Brady isn’t the only one who thinks Joe and Patrick are the best

7x Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, kind of indirectly, asserted that Joe and Patrick are ahead in the QB race in the NFL. “These two guys in this game are two of the best doing it right now. And Patrick’s in a league of his own,” Brady said.

However, Bengals QB Burrow also thinks the same about himself and Pat. After beating the Bills and being asked about the trip to Arrowhead this Sunday, Burrow said that he looks forward to the meeting between the “two top guys in the league, and the two top teams in the league.”

And looks like Tom Brady and Joe Cool have a ton of things in common.
