So, Patrick has 2 rings and 2 MVPs. If you claim that Burrow is going to have more of each, that means that you think Burrow will win at least 3 rings and 3 MVPs.
Players who have won 2 MVPs
Peyton Manning - 5
Aaron Rodgers - 4
Tom Brady - 3
Jim Brown - 3
Brett Favre - 3
Johnny Unitas - 3
Joe Montana - 2
Kurt Warner - 2
Steve Young - 2
Patrick Mahomes - 2
Quarterbacks who have won 2 rings
Tom Brady - 7
Joe Montana - 4
Terry Bradshaw - 4
Troy Aikman - 3
Eli Manning - 2
Peyton Manning - 2
Ben Roethlisberger - 2
John Elway - 2
Jim Plunkett - 2
Bob Griese - 2
Roger Staubach - 2
Bart Starr - 2
Patrick Mahomes - 2
Three MVPs would put Burrow among the top 6 all-time. Three rings would put Burrow among the top 5 all-time among QBs. That's pretty rarefied air. Burrow would have to play some outstanding football to get on either list, but to reach three of each would require some unbelievably good play. It's not impossible, but would seem to be pretty unlikely when you look at the teams that are lined up to stop him from getting there.
However, that all presumes that Patrick is done winning rings and MVPs. He isn't. Patrick is just 27 years old and already has 2 of each. One more of each is absolutely within reason and that would mean your prediction would be for Burrow to win 4 of each while also playing at the same time as Mahomes.
Going any further with this reasoning gets really silly, but not because Mahomes is incapable of 2 or more rings/MVPs, but because it gets laughable for what Burrow would have to do in order to top it.
Methinks your prediction is unlikely at best and unbelievably arrogant/stupid at worst.
ETA - Notice that there is only one name listed that has at least 3 rings as starting QB and at least 3 MVPs. That is Tom Brady. Maybe you should back off of this prediction until Burrow has at least 1 ring and/or 1 MVP under his belt.
