You can argue that because they are good they get to do these things, but there are stories of these guys doing these things long before they were the elite players they are today.
All long established veterans. Whatever things you speak of, I doubt they were doing them year 1 in the league.
A rookie QB, just like every other rookie, needs to earn his respect. That's his job right now. Lead my example. Inspire confidence through action. Then, and only then, can really start to hold the veterans accountable and take them to task, so to speak.
I'm sorry, the idea that Joe Burrow can step in and immediately take over a lockerroom better than a veteran Andy Dalton is absolutely absurd. I like Joe Burrow and am as pumped to see him as the next guy. But some of these takes on here get to be a bit much.
