Without a doubt, Burrow is a special player, but the one thing that Andy really excelled at was his release time. He had one of the quickest releases in the NFL and I saw a stat a year or two ago about him being the most accurate QB with quick release passes.
This means that Dalton actually operates better behind a bad line than most of QBs, because the ball is out a lot of times before the pass rush can reach him. Burrow is really strong at climbing the pocket, but if the interior has trouble blocking, it could put more of an eye on the problems we have at OL. Hopefully Jonah and XFS are a good boost the line.
With Dalton this also became a problem cause Defenses knew he was going to get the ball out fast.
I would rather have a QB that takes a sack once in awhile that knows how to manipulate a pocket and doesn't panic.
Plus it is not like Burrow has a slow release or anything, he is quick too.
