QB or the WR which is it ?

Defenders hate to have to cover for any extended period of time, and that ability to buy a little extra time was something we rarely saw from Dalton.  Although, to be fair, in 2018 I thought Van Pelt had a huge impact on Dalton's abilities in relation to pocket awareness, but it didn't seem to last. 

I made the much-maligned "Tyler Boyd- Record Chaser?" thread to try and convey how the 6'1", 202 lb Justin Jefferson had a ridiculous 111 receptions and 18 TDs out of the slot at LSU last season and how the 6'2", 202 lb, Tyler Boyd could have that kind of season with Burrow largely because of how Burrow attacks the middle of the field.  

Burrow will take this offense to new heights.  I can't wait to see it.  

Agree, but 2015 also for the first 9 games or so Dalton was manipulating the pocket fairly well and even throwing on the run a bit. But after the injury he never really got it back for 16 or 17. 

Burrow hasn't played an NFL snap yet so it's just speculation at this point. But I strongly feel a large part of out lack of production from our receivers/backs can be laid at the feet of our QB's.

I can't wait to see it either !
