Joe needs to win games, if he does I will be happy if he throws for 20 TD's.
I have hurt feelings about what exactly?
Look, I'm not trying to be rude. But it's clear as day that because you're disappointed that Andy is gone that you're now putting completely unrealistic expectations on Joe Burrow.
You said, in order for the hype to be true, that he should easily throw for 4,000 yards and 40 TD's in 2020. This is a ridiculous ask. You should be able to buy in without requiring your rookie QB to throw for the most TD's in the entire league.
You then said he will be a disappointment if he does not win a playoff game in 2020. I honestly don't even have the words to describe just how unfair this is. You're asking a 22 year old kid to come in here and accomplish something that hasn't happened in almost THIRTY YEARS. And this after taking over a 2-14 team. Otherwise he's a disappointment. How do you not see how unreasonable this is?
Does Joe need to win games to live up to his draft position? Sure. Does he need to turn this team into a playoff contender in year 1 to do it? Of course not. Joe Burrow needs more than anything to get some games under his belt and gain some experience. He needs to make some throws and show some of what made him #1 overall. But he certainly doesn't need to throw 40 TD's and win a playoff game right away, at least for rational fans to understand that he was a wise investment.
Cut the kid some slack. Or root for the Cowboys. Cuz all of this aint fair.
