When you look at the rosters, the 2020 Bengals should definitely have a better running attack and more effective defense than Luck had as a rookie. The o-line, while still not great, should also be better than what Luck had. The receiving corps should be similar, or maybe even a little better, if AJ is healthy and play all season. 

Luck threw for over 4,300 yards, with 23 TD's and 18 int's as rookie. I think the Bengals will have a better roster than the 2012 Colts and I think that will result in Burrow having more TD's and less int's than Luck had. I'm going to say about 4,200 yards, with 28 td's and 14 int's.

28 TDs.  I would take that too.  Wouldn't be ecstatic about 14 INT, but it would depend on W/L record.

I think people have too high of expectations for Burrow.  Man, I hope he meets a lot of them.  That would be awesome.  It's why I started this thread to see where people's heads and hearts are on Burrow.
