I've wanted a new playcaller as much as anybody after last season, but you gotta admit, Taylor's doing a better job so far this season. Sure, it helps having Burrow and we're not exactly a top 15 offense (yet?), but there's been a definite improvement.

Imagine what the difference would be if you threw out week 1 from both seasons where Dalton had 400 yards and Burrow had a tough day.  A bit understandable given his lack of preseason games among other COVID challenges.  

If I am Burrow, I am not opening any mail from pitt or Baltimore...might have COVID inside
