First of all let me make it clear that BEFORE the game I posted that I would not panic of Burrow did not play well because he has never played a single snap against an NFL defense that was 1oo% trying to beat him up.  I am sure he will show major improvement over the course of the season.

But I will bet that the name of our former QB came up a few times and all the guys who were over the top on Burrow explained how it was so totally different when Joe missed a target or threw a stupid interception than when Andy did.  Or it was the O-line.  Or it was the receiver.  Or the sun was in his eyes.

Am I right?

I do put Burrow at a higher standard as a rookie with the record breaking year in College.. consensus #1 pick in draft than say Dalton and others as a rookie QB so I was a bit more critical of his performance over the weekend and I did get a sense from many on the site that he is free of that critic being a rookie
