The offense is starting to take on Burrow's personality
#66
Stats are fine and have their place I will readily concur. But in any situation involving human beings (especially groups of us) psychology is also a big factor. In the NFL the QB is schematically the "leader" of the offense. But as in all group situations just because one person is the official leader doesn't mean everyone always and automatically looks to them - you see this all the time in places varying from sports team to the military and others where someone may officially be the leader but the group actually takes their lead from someone else - the psychological leader

TO BE CONT...

Sorry about the TO BE CONT - I had to join a quick conference call.

Now with regards to Burrow specifically, you are seeing a situation where the schematic leader and the psychological leader are becoming the same person. In other words, the offensive players are not just officially looking to him they are following his lead unofficially too. And this is where the statement that they are starting to take on his personality comes in - they are following his lead there too and starting to display some of the same traits he does. 

It doesn't mean they will win every game or INTs will never happen or any such thing - it just means that (for instance) because Burrow doesn't go into a shell when adversity hits (something the Bengals were notorious for) the offense is starting to likewise not go into a shell.
