I love Joe, but this claim that he is just going to walk in and take over the team from the coaches because none of the coaches ever mention to a player when they mess up is ridiculous. Joe looks like a damn good QB but the Bengal vets are not just a bunch of kids who failed because their QB never yelled at them.
Ask Baker Mayfiled how many games "swagger" will win you in the NFL. Ask Ryan Leaf how much it helps a team to squeal at the receivers. Joe Burrow will be a great NFL QB if he plays great and can keep cool in high pressure situations. Bitching at his teammates won't help him any. That is the coaches job.
Burrow won't have to hold AJ accountable cause he doesn't screw up.
You don't understand what I am saying, no surprise...
These guys do...

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. This isn't to say it's a magic bullet that makes you good, and it's not saying you can't be successful without doing it, but it is something that comes up often with some of the best. There is a certain amount of command you have to have to play QB and the key is riding the line of being demanding and holding other accountable, but also not being an ass. In Mayfield's case, and Leaf as well honestly, they wouldn't hold themselves accountable which NFL players see straight through.

I don't really expect AJ to be on the end of one, because he rarely if ever runs the wrong route.

If someone respects you they will listen to what you have to say. The subtext of a lot of this talk is that Burrow has already earned his teammates respect better than your average rookie. It is a leadership quality. He holds himself to a high standard and with that he can justifiably hold others to a high standard too.
Its not all about scolding someone else when they mess up. That is an oversimplified description.
