You can’t just say “well the QB needs to be better” like everyone else around him is playing well. They’re not.
But you can't blame all of Burrows problems on the players and coaches around him either. He takes too many sacks. He fumbles too much. And he has flat out missed some throws. The pass protection is not good, but he has multiple sacks where he had over 4 seconds to get rid of the ball.
He is just a rookie and I expect him to get better, but people need to acknowledge that he needs to improve also.
On third down in the red zone Burrow is only 2 of 6 with only 1 first down conversion, an interception, and a sack.
