193 5.4 36 23 0.639 0 1 66.1 14 0.389 0 0 19 3 20

His QBR was 3rd worst in the NFL of the 32 QB's at 66.1

He missed a wide open Green (not under any pressure) which was a huge miss and loss of momentum and confidence builder for the offense. The good news is after he had a horrid interception costing us a likely tie at a minimum, he took us down and almost had a game winner albeit not for a questionable call against AJ. Not because AJ was guilty of PI, but because Mike Williams did it all day long and was never called for it.

Burrow gave himself a D and I agree, if he plays to a C we are 1-0 right now most likely, but on to play the Browns defense that was shredded by the Ravens and Jackson. Let's hope Burrow gets better each week and we get the 1st win of 2020 Thursday.

When the reporter asked him to grade himself, i instantly thought in my head "D", so it was good to hear him say that. 

I don't expect what i saw from him in college, right off the bat. At least not to the same extent. I will expect to see flashes, like we did on the final couple drives (minus the stupid flip/interception). 

I remember my excitement back when Boomer started. There were growing pains but there were also flashes of what was to come. I'll be patient and look for the flashes and then the consistency as he gains experience playing against professional defenses.
