If we chose our starters based only on preseason performance then Burrow is also on the bench.

Yes. But he didnt play last year and he is adjusting to the NFL game which is incredibly difficult to do for any rookie, especially rookies that havent played in a real game in a year and a half. It isn't about the drops and his preseason performance, its what I said in the first part here. 

Again Im not talking down on Chase, its just going to take him longer IMO to adjust to the NFL game. Thankfully we have Boyd and Higgins so Chase doesnt have to have all that pressure right out of the gate as they can work him into an eventual starting role by second half of season at the latest hopefully.
