I remember this being a real bone of contention with a certain other QB. So it's funny to watch people justify it now.
In all seriousness though, Burrow will be fine. It's probably no coincidence that we're also bottom of the league in protecting the QB who isn't completing deep throws. Deep throws take time to develop. Wake me when we're actually giving him time and he still struggles for a significant period of time.
Also, as others have pointed out, we've dropped a few...and deep throws are never high % anyway. Even the best only complete roughly 30%. Give Burrow a couple that were dropped and he'd be at 20% which is actually quite normal.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
