Rookie QB's often have bad seasons, and Burrow is joining a really bad team. I'd be appalled if our record is as bad next year, but tbh I'd be pretty surprised if we go much over 5-11, we're just a poor roster. If we do, likelihood is we've had one heck of a Draft/FA and fixed a lot of our issues, or Burrow really is the freakin man.
Am I hoping Burrow is better next year than Andy was this year? No crap. Will I be shocked if he isn't? Not really, Rookie QB's don't usually come in a light everybody up. Will it mean he's a bust etc if he doesn't provide an immediate upgrade over veteran Andy? No. We all hope he comes in and is a top 10 QB in year 1, but best thing the fanbase can do is give the kid a lot of time.
Disagree, we have a good roster. Just need to add Lineman, LB's and some weapons.
With our cap space and the Draft we can do this easily. We can win 9 games next season if we do this IMO.
Especially with Burrow.
Rookie QB's have been playing pretty well recently. Heck Dalton played good as a rookie and he ain't no Burrow.
