Silver linings and orange colored glasses

I have a confession to make:

When we drafted Joe Burrow #1OA last year, the same thoughts just kept going through my head.

"What if his one year was just a flash in the pan?"
"What if his arm isn't strong enough in the NFL?"
"What if NFL teams figure out his passing tendencies and he becomes captain checkdown?"
"What if his success really was just Joe, Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson abusing inexperienced college corners?"

We drafted a cerebral QB who was not that physically gifted (at least relative to other #1OA QBs) after a single year of elite play and expected him to come in and save the franchise. Maybe we're asking too much of Joe.

Of course, this may just be me panicking. We'll have to wait until the regular season, I guess.
