I watched Burrow's highlights from last year and yeah, so far, he's had visibly less time than he had last year - amazing to say. At least he didn't duck and run back then.

Yes, you’re absolutely right about last year.

This thread may indeed be terrible but is it unrealistic to expect the reigning AFC champions to play somewhat like the reigning AFC champions?

You’ve never heard of an athlete who takes awhile to settle down in a game? Callihan and Taylor have been working with him extensively on the call sheet forever. Joe really struggled his first year in almost every first quarter of his first year at LSU. He got increasingly more relaxed the second quarter.

Just need Joe to find his cool again.
But that may be hard to do with the way Jonah and LC are blocking though.

Nope. I thought they'd come out firing and look like the force people were hoping for. Alas, welcome to my life, where things like that don't happen.
It is unrealistic to ask for or expect two starting guys from the oline to run things.

I'm not saying it hasn't happened, I honestly haven't put in the research for it. I know a lot of the top young QBs have not had the same issue but maybe the Bradys and Mannings have/do.
But what top tier QB has been as bad as him to start games in their NFL careers? He's not in his 1st year starting as a QB after not playing for 2-3 years. He's coming off a 20 game season and has almost 30 NFL starts.
Again, I think Burrow can be a top tier QB but he is not as physically talented as a lot of the other top tier guys. He is always going to have to be better mentally and he has not been this year and has not been to start games in his NFL career. He was last year 2nd quarter of the game and on.

He’s a genuine star QB who is in a funk. I think he’s like a golfer or batter in a slump. He’ll get rolling
