The fact that Bengals fans are pointing to 3 or 4 plays in the guys first 4 games, while he's surrounded by pros who are making 4+ mistakes per game, is asinine. Burrow has been unreal and surpassed any reasonable or even lofty expectation. All behind a bad O line & 2 has been WRs as "deep threats" the first 2 weeks (Green & Ross).... with ZERO practice games and 2 weeks of half-assed walk throughs.

Bengals fans response to a football gift from God: "Dur dur dur... he missed a deep ball."
Bunch of clown shoes lurking around the Bengals forums.
1/22 isn't "missed a deep ball". But i get it and i agree. He's been spectacular in every other area. Still, that doens't make him immune to criticism. If you don't like it from Bengals fans, take it from the guy himself when he said 'a high schooler could make that throw'.
If you said...and maybe you are...that the OP has an axe to grind and he's being unreasonable, i agree 100%. But i don't see how you can disagree with more level headed posters that glow about his positives while still being able to say he needs to improve the deep ball. Especially when they follow that with, they believe he will, given time.
