Things are coming together and even though we're a losing team, I think I'm having just as much fun watching what's developing as I did in 2015.  I really believe this team is going somewhere special.  Having this kid leading the team is awesome.

I wish the playcalling, like using screens against the blitz (duh!), had been where it has been the last two games early in the season.  The pounding he took against Philly, Cleveland (the first time), and Baltimore was so unnecessary.  That is Burrow, though.  Like at OSU when he was "live" as third string QB going against the Bosas and getting pounded snap after snap, he just keeps coming back after you. 

I remember hearing when Palmer said years ago about how he thought he had an easy completion down the seam and Ed Reed made a play on the ball and picked it off.  He said he couldn't believe how quickly he adjusted and never thought he could get to that pass.  That is what Burrow is figuring out now, and he is still improving.  He has played some very tough defenses this season, and although they only have two wins right now I believe he is ready to take the next step and start beating the best defenses.
