Worried About Burrow

Sorry to vent just worried about "the franchise".  I am the eternal optimist.  The 49'ers broke my heart twice and the Steelers really got me in 2015, but being a lifelong Bengal fan is about to "break" me.  Lol.  Pick me up guys, make me feel better.  Perhaps I'm just hungover after watching such a terribly planned Bears game.  Who Dey!!

Sure a concern with sacks and pressures but other top QBs drafted by bad teams have had to overcome adversity,  also college games and  performance is the past.. this is a different level .. Burrow needs to show he can adjust to the pro game himself now..plus his lack of mobility is not going to help with a subpar line
