Then when field position was better, he picked them apart in prime time, for the national championship. That kind of poise comes naturally or not at all. He has the athletic gifts, now he needs great coaching. The Bengals can be pretty certain Burrow will have been worth the number 1 pick as they look back 5 years from next April.
I certainly hope you're right 5 years from now. The CF playoffs changed my mind on him as well (re:being the 1st pick).
When you mentioned Burrow's NC game performance, however, my mind instantly went to Vince Young's NC game performance. And I realize there are good examples the other way (Deshaun Watson). I'm just saying his success isn't a guarantee and there are some question marks with him. I don't think it's that controversial to say that, at least not as much as some here make it out to be.
