Burrow's decision making has been terrible

Some of his decision making has been Dalton-esque, at least Dalton knew when to throw it away. I think a lot of the sacks he takes too is because he holds onto the ball a lot trying to play hero ball. He really needs to clean up these dumb throws he makes it's getting frustrating at this point.

Criticizing Burrow makes about as much sense as pissing in to the wind.  

The guy has made 18 NFL starts.  He was CARVING the Browns up until the pick six.  Yes, it was a bad pass and he will learn from it.  Joe rarely makes the same mistake twice.  Every time he has had a practice, series, or even an entire game that was a "clunker", he ALWAYS rebounds and has a nice one. 

He has played poorly in one game.  The Chicago game.  The Browns game was one bad throw and then the defense decided to revert back to the Chuck Breshnahan no-pressure scheme that just gave Mayfield all day.  Once they got the lead and the Bengals became one dimensional, they were hitting him on EVERY SINGLE DROP BACK...usually less than two seconds after the snap.  The kid is tough as nails, and he will overcome this game and he will have them in the conversation down the stretch.  

If they can simply make the playoffs, I really like the idea of Joe Burrow leading the team in to the post season.  I won't bet against him.
