Meh, it will blow over and Burrow learned a lesson - he can just decline to answer questions.
I prefer to look at the good which is how one player has managed to upend things and change the internal and external perception of a franchise. We knew Burrow was phenomenally talented going into the draft and that the mental part of his game was scouted as elite but his other benefits have been considerable - he has been an ambassador for the team and we can point to his influence in getting more than one Free Agent (most recently La'el Collins). He (and Zac to be fair) have this whole team believing every week they can go out and win - opponent doesn't matter and even if they get down early doesn't matter. This is no small thing.
