He very well may be amazing year one, I just always hear rookie QBs talking about adjusting to the speed of the game and how the windows are smaller and the DBs are faster, etc, etc. I just worry with a limited amount of pre-season snaps and shortened less contact type training camp it will take him a little longer to adjust to the speed. We will find out though.

When I look at the success of guys like Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahommes, Desawn Watson, Kyler Murray, and a bit further back, Russell Wilson, one common thread for these guys that had really good starts in the NFL is mobility.  I am not saying that Burrow is Lamar Jackson, but he is very elusive, quick, and agile in the pocket.  We have not had a mobile QB since Jeff Blake.  

Everyone talks about Burrow's ability to read defenses quickly, his leadership, and his preparation, but his mobility is not often mentioned.  I think that is one specific trait that carries a ton of value in today's NFL and I am hoping it helps with him hitting the ground "running".

And thanks for he point about different opinions.  Most here feel that way :)
