That is one of the big problems I have with this whole idea that Burrow controls the mentality of the entire team.  These are not a bunch of lost little boys looking at Burrow to tell them how to act.  They are self-motivated, grown men who have played football at an elite level and made it to the NFL.  They don't just all sit around with their thumbs up their asses until Joe tells them to get excited.  In fact many of our top free agents have had a lot more success in the NFL than Joe has.

Unless I missed it, I've never seen anyone state that Burrow 'controls the mentality' of the team. I have seen people say Burrow has given his team, the organization and the fan base a sense of optimism that, in part, stems from his attitude, demeanor and confidence level...in addition to his talent.
