No one needs to say they'll be fine, that's a bit extreme and illogical. Do a little homework though and at least have a clue what you're writing about. 

What is he ignorant of?  Our o-line is a concern.  Burrow himself has said he's got to shake off the injury mindset.  Burrow throwing the ball hard at practice is fine, but until he does it in a real game the general public isn't going to believe it.  I just don't see the hate here...I see this as Bengals fans putting a lot of stock into training camp because that's all we have at the moment.

Burrow having a single good pre-season game like Trevor Lawrence, or Pig Ben, or even Sam Darnold would have bumped him up a few slots on here.  We are kicking the can down the road to the regular season, so we can only speculate based on practice.  


I think people just take this national media stuff too seriously.  I just want Burrow to get on the field and get stuff done so we can stop waiting for the national media to give us a medal for looking good at practice.

Most offensive coordinators wouldn’t have Joe chucking the ball 50+ times behind a leaky line.  

Joe Burrow, rightly or wrongly, was set up for failure last year.   Considering the offense he was given and the playbook he had to use I don’t see how he could’ve done any better.

Yeah, I get all this and agree with it.  This is why going into 2020 when the national media said the Bengals may be setting Burrow up for failure I wasn't one of the people saying "Stupid national media hates us, they're just pissed Burrow isn't on the Steelers."
