Most of it has to do with the Bengals organization, the crap O-line, possibility that AJ & Mixon could be holding out through training camp, inexperienced coaching staff, etc. I've seen too many "can't miss" QBs fail over the years across the NFL and we simply don't know how he'll respond to everything. It's a coping mechanism from years of being a Bengals fan.
That said, if he performs as well as most of you think he will, he'll be the Lebron of Cincinnati.
I agree, but that's more an issue with the franchise than the player, and would be the case with literally any player we draft under this current management.
Burrow is the man, if we go with anything else we'll be out of our minds. Completely out of them. He may turn out to be a bust, a one year wonder, a poor fit for this team... the lack of talent and O-Line may get him killed. But you don't not draft the guy due to those fears.
Wouldn't at all surprise me if we're here next year with another very high pick and a poor rookie year for Burrow, but the guy absolutely killed it this year with a ridiculous season. If we Bungle the guy, then so be it, we know the Franchise sucks and it'd be the same with any player.
