Burrow Proved Himself

They have good coaches bringing them along and calling good plays. That's why they're successful (aside from the raw talent).

I do think Burrow has a great football mind. But I also think he's younger than even the young QBs I'm comparing him to. Give him time. Give him good coaching. Hopefully he stays healthy and gets to 100%. Hopefully the coaches step up their game as well and make it easier on him (as well as the oline).

Hmm, Burrow hasn't played a full season of games yet and he's going to be 25 this season so he's not particularly young.  He's older than Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, and all the guys drafted his year or later like Justin Fields, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, Tua, and Jalen Hurts.

He's within a year or so of Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield,  Deshaun Watson, Drew Lock, and Patrick Mahommes.  Burrow isn't an old man, but the guy is TECHNICALLY A ROOKIE and he's in the same age group if not older that QBs who have already played multiple years, won playoff games, and even won MVPs and SBs.

If ZT doesn't do a 180 we're going into Burrow's 3rd year and the season where he will turn 25 talking a lot about how it's finally time to see him perform for the first time. 


So in summation, Burrow is:
1. old for his QB class
2. aging while getting beaten up and/or on missing out on experience while on IR
3. in a situation where multiple years of his career will be deemed "wasted/hopeless" due to the coaching/organization
