I just think with not playing for a year and the speed of the game being faster he's struggling a little. It just might take him a little while to get comfortable. I just wouldn't go throwing him any 3rd passes come week 1 which is not what you want to be thinking with your #5 pick.
That why ZT has become the possible #1 offender in the Chase scandal, now. The guy needs to knock off the rust, the guy needs to get used to game speed, the guy needs to get some catches and build his confidence...all things rookies usually do in the pre-season.
I realize he's just one guy and Burrow is hurt, but after not getting a pre-season in 2020 I can't help but feel like ZT is looking the proverbial gift horse in the mouth, here.
