Burrow terrible down the field

For any Bengals fan to even begin to open their mouth about a criticism of Burrow at this point is obnoxious and turdy.

Meanwhile, the favorite redhead some of you fools inexplicably keep wanting to rub one off to is right where he should be: The backup on an 0-4 Cowboys team. Joe Burrow after 4 NFL games (all things considered) >>>>> Andy Dalton's finest hour.

Sorry those w AD jerseys have to toss them on the same "I was wrong" pile they keep their George Iloka and Sanu shirts. Time to pony up the cash for some Burrow swag, get with the future of the organization, and quit crying about what people (RIGHTFULLY) said about BLANDY DULLton being mediocre in 2011.

It's as if you didn't even read my post. I'm not bashing Burrow, nor am I saying Dalton was = to or better than Burrow.

I like the guy we have now. He has potential to be elite, and that's something Dalton didn't have. Dalton was a fine QB who accomplished a lot in Cincy, but Burrow has top 5 potential.

Again, I just find it funny that people thought a new QB would fix everything...in particular the deep passing game...and that many of those people who roasted Dalton for missing deep throws are now excusing Burrow's misses by blaming the line, drops, etc (all things that were "excuses" with the other guy).

Tbh, I threw that little jab in there as a joke and didn't intend for it to turn into a multi-page argument about AD, but I should've known people would focus on that, rather than the meat of my post.

I'm not ready to throw the switch for the alarm though. As i said, i think he'll come around sometime this season. 

It's something to keep an eye on, but it's a small sample size behind a bottom 3 o-line with no preseason from a rookie QB.

He's the only rookie QB dealing with ALL of these circumstances. He'll probably be fine. I think.
