That's what happens when you win.  Burrow can win multiple SBs and when he throws an INT there are going to be a thousand people calling him a bum and demanding that his backup take over.

I have friends who are reasonable Steelers fans, and recall them trying to explain to other "Steelers fans" during the 08 season that benching Ben for Leftwich wasn't "just what the team needed."  Hell, I know a dude who even AFTER the Steelers won the SB in 08 wouldn't admit that Ben was better than Leftwich.

Half-assed fans are the worst, but when you don't get the glory without having to wade through them.  So it goes.
