Will Joe Burrow get bored

He had to get the ball out faster than most QB's though cause he knew the OL wasn't great.

I think he would hold onto the ball longer if he had a good OL blocking in front of him and it would be just fine.

More time to find the open WR would be fantastic for the entire Offense.

Burrow likes to make magic happen with his feet and this leads to a lot of sacks but also leads to him making game winning
plays for us. He is just a really interesting player cause he thrives under pressure more so than about any other QB I have 
ever watched. Brady even gets flustered by pressure and he is probably the best at standing in there taking the hit and 
making the throw regardless. Burrow I think might be even better than Brady at this.

Lot of experience with pressure in only 2 years in the NFL lol

Oh yeah, he reads the Defense as fast as anyone. He just makes sure he doesn't make terrible mistakes in big games.

This was my main problem with Burrow early last season, he was throwing at least 1 head scratching pick a game.

He cleaned this up down the stretch and got comfortable later in the season, I think it started with the Raiders game 
where he looked like he was back to his old self with his legs and his pocket movement.
