Burrow doesn't move well in the pocket

But he's plenty quick enough to evade some defenders and run when he needs to.

As some have pointed out he's never trying to give up on the play and that has caused some memorable mishaps like the big sack for a loss that took the team out of fg range against the titans. But you accept that with some of the plays he's pulled off.

Slightly off topic, but does Burrows play remind anyone else of Romo? Neither have cannons but good enough arms to do whats needed, both have solid mobility burrow being better in that department, both liked looking for big plays and extending the plays leading to some unfortunate sacks and ints, though burrow has cleaned up on the ints substantially since the 1st half of the year.

He's a little bigger than Kenny, but I think athletically, and overall too honestly that Burrow compares well to Kenny Anderson.  My favorite Bengals QB honestly.

I was very young, but Kenny could scoot!  I think Burrow is as about as quick and fast as Anderson was but against todays defenders it doesn't look like it.  Same with the arm strength, if memory serves, Walsh hand picked Anderson outta DIII Augustana when he was OC here right?  Then in San Fran, Joe Montana was his guy.  

I think Burrow compares favorably to Montana as well.  I think Burrow is a Bill Walsh prototype.  And that's a pretty dang good prototype to be.....exceedingly cerebral, athletic, high level leadership qualities, enough arm talent and technique to push the ball downfield effectively, but not such a cannon that in adrenaline inducing moments they're prone to overthrows, and ofc pocket presence and cajones come in handy as well.

Bill Walsh was a genius.  Maybe we were cursed by Walsh, who PB is known to have hated on so vexed he was that Walsh wasn't willing to watch the obviously inferior man get promoted because of tenure basically.

And the only way to break the curse of Walsh is with a QB who is molded to the specs he prefers.  Joey B is our guy, he's gotta be.
