Burrow is my QB and i support him 100%, but I don't see how he could be ranked #13 before ever taking a snap. Even the greatest prospects ever coming out of college (Elway, Luck, Manning, etc) did not set the league on fire as rookies.
While for the most part I agree with you, Andrew lucks rookie season saw him set records for most yards in a season and in a single game by a rookie. Granted he had a low completion percentage and threw 18 picks, but he still finished 10th in the league in QBR that season. To paint it as if he had a bad rookie campaign would be an injustice to him.
Who knows if Burrow will be good or not, but to be ranked barely over the middle of the pack (13th) doesn’t mean you have to “set the league on fire”.
