Somehow that equates to Burrow had a bad OL that he masterfully ignored by being so cool under pressure, he throws receivers open regardless of separation, and he's basically God's gift to football.

Dude is good at football, but he had a STACKED team. Basically he was playing with an entire offense of NFL talent (5 OL, 2 WR, 1 RB, 2 TE is 10 plus him, that's an entire offense worth of NFL talent)... but against college defenses that are filled with guys with no NFL chance.

Expectations are a bit high.

Some of you act like there’s not crazy stacked teams every year in college. Look at some of the recent Alabama and Clemson teams. Ofc he had a ton of talent around him. Especially at WR (he will here too). He still had the single best season ever. It’s the Bengals job to give him what he needs to replicate that at the NFL level.
