It isn't so much that he may have problems, but I like the idea of a younger team with a young leader.  And I honestly don't think a Flacco, with zero mobility, could teach Burrow anything in this offense.  I think Zac Taylor is the veteran QB.  

And I will post a separate thread about Andrew Luck's rookie season as a potential parallel to Burrow's, but Luck was drafted #1, given the reigns, and his backup was Drew Stanton, a 5 year vet with 12 starts in that timeframe.  Do you think he was really going to teach Luck anything?

I like McCown, and I guess he is supposed to be a lot like a Jordan Palmer, can say it but can't do it, but I am fine letting Dolegala and Finley compete as backups and try to develop one of them (Dolegala...I think Finley is a dud).
