I don't think Burrow walking into such a rebuild situation 
As people think they they are. How many wins was a healthy AJ Green worth last year ?
Even before Burrow throws a pass you can sense the culture is starting to change 
Cancers and malcontents are gone like Cordy Glenn.

Very few 1st year QBS walk into a plethora of talent that JB has to work with 

Losing by one score is quite common in the NFL. How many were them fighting back within one score in garbage time? A few.

As for talent yes the Bengals have talent but so does most NFL teams just look at the AFC North. Two of the 4 teams in the North had top 10 defenses almost top 5. The Browns upgraded both sides of the ball in Free Agency and the Draft.

I think the Bengals arrow is pointing up but they still have to compete against 3 good teams in the North.
