Burrow terrible down the field

I didn't say Dalton was/is better than Burrow. Or that he didn't focus on AJ. 

 I just think it's funny how a lot of people said a better QB would automatically improve the deep passing game. Some of the same people who bashed Andy for not hitting enough deep throws are now excusing the misses with Burrow.

To be extra clear - as I said in my post - I excuse Burrow's deep throw numbers. I just think it's funny to watch people flip flop on this because they like the QB now.

Pressure, sure. Getting used to new receivers, sure. Better protection and more reps with these guys should clear it up and he will be doing that just as well as everything else.

As I said, Burrow will be fine. He's been under a ton of pressure, which affects the deep throws, also he's dealt with some drops. These aren't excuses, it's just the reality of things. Football is a team game. A passing game relies of blocking and catching just as much as the QB.

In the long haul, I think Burrow will be dropping dimes on deep throws. He needs time to throw and more time to gel with the receivers. Dude didn't even get a preseason.

Well actually people were dumping on Dalton after the SF game, which was week 3 of his rookie year.
