If I'm 100% honest about Burrow, I don't know what to expect. He had some big games last year (particularly against the Browns), but yeah...the overall stats weren't impressive. Very akin to Dalton's rookie year, as much as saying that will make some on here lose their minds.
I'll just say this: I have more confidence in Burrow's skills than our coaching. I can't help but feel Joe would absolutely tear it up playing for an Andy Reid, John Harbaugh, etc...but in Cincy? Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him wind up being mediocre at best.
...and not to beat a dead horse, but I'll never change my stance that we put the cart before the horse prioritizing weapons over line in this draft. A young QB needs protection even more than a vet QB. Just so he can build confidence and not be seeing ghosts in the pocket.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
