I am sure many of us have come here singing praises of Joe, so I won't be that guy. I'll take an opposite stance. LSU essentially had 3-4 offensive guys that could have been contributing on NFL rosters on any given Saturday. Burrow was about as flawless as they come in terms of efficiency within the college game, but he had A LOT of help from WRs who rarely dropped passes and were able to make corners look silly. His arm strength is obviously a question, and there were a couple of occasions where he underthrew a few receivers and our guys were just more explosive and able to make a play.
That being said, I'm on of the biggest Burrow fans around. So much so that I may watch more Bengals games than Saints games (been on that wagon since 2000) this year if given the opportunity. I just like to be realistic. I think he will be just fine, but I am with you. As a rookie QB, he will definitely need to get some help, and IMO, it will need to be more from his receivers. He can do what he has to keep a play alive, but if his WRs aren't giving him the help he needs, he will struggle.
Welcome to the board.
All true, Burrow will need tons of help from his O-line, his Receivers and he will need a running game. He cannot do it all.
