If the coaches called for Andy Dalton to pass over fifty times per game I don't think they will call for Joe Burrow to pass any less.  I know it's not totally fair to compare a college player to an NFL veteran because the defenses are different, but it looks to me just by the eyeball test that Joe Burrow might throw a more consistently accurate deep ball than Andy Dalton. 

My fear is Zac Taylor may fixate on Joe Burrow's throwing ability at Joe Mixon's expense.  There is a law of diminishing returns when a quarterback must live and die through the air.  As we've seen over time, the most successful playoff teams have a reliable running game.
