I understand he has had a strong amount of pressure that has hindered his evaluation as a QB  but somw blame rests fall on young qbs as they learn position. in the end, if Burrow is elite it will show through that is what elite QBs do, they overcome

Yes and as Fred shown there are like 9 QB's inluding Brady that have been hit and pressured more than Burrow.

The sack number is skewed cause of poor blocking from Hop, the RB's on blitz pickup and TE's having to block Ends which 
should not be happening. This should clean up as the year goes on with either Hop getting back to his old self or Trey Hill 
starting if he doesn't. Putting Evans in if Perine continues to struggle on blitz pick and using the TE's to chip instead of to 
block Ends 1 on 1.

Burrow will calm down, right now he is mentally trying to adjust. Glad this Bears game happened early in the year.

The difference Ive seen this year so far is that its not ALL blatantly on the OL. The RB's are missing, Burrow is definitely still getting his mental game back, play design has played a role, etc. This is fixable. I'm not impressed with XSF, or Hopkins either really. I dont know how far our rookies are along, but I think the future is bright with Carmen. I think he can and will be better than XSF.

I think Zac needs to open it up and let this offense be high powered. Look, I was an OL guy in round 1. Sewell? No. I wanted to trade back for Slater, who is looking like a pro bowler so far. But guess what, so is Chase. How long has it been since we had a WR catch 2 long bomb TD's two games in a row?

Things will get better. They have to. I'm worried about Burrow too, but I think the team will rally up and some adjustments will be made, and we will be fine. I am a big on building the trenches, but after two long bombs that we've been missing for waaay too long now, I got one thing to say...



I'll be wearing this at one of the games this season. Got my tickets and I'm very excited to make the road trip to support this team and help rule the jungle. That's all

Awesome post Bengaloo. Agree with everything you said. The problems are all fixable and Chase was a great pick as he is 
showing. Dude is just a natural with the ball in the air and can adjust to balls easily with his smoothness and overall ability. 

Cool shirt.
