Now if he had been a rookie with 2020 Bengals, No Way does he ever get early in his career Super Bowl rings. Big Ben was lucky to go to a good team, some rookies get lucky. Then other rookies like Burrow go to worst team in NFL in 2019. But Joe Heisman is not Superman. It really is up to Mike Brown on down to make sure this line doesn't get him killed like Cook or Carson Top Picks. The Coaches and O Line should be helping the Top Pick Rookie, they should not be putting it all on the rookie. Well, now we are back to the luck of the draft. Burrow went to worst team in NFL, and like many Bengals QBs before him, he will discover no matter what play he calls, he can not block for them. If they can't block, they can't block, get new blockers.
Don't disagree...but not sure how any of that eliminates the need for Joe to make better decisions at times when it come to plays breaking down, trying to extend plays under pressure or checking down/throwing it away if it isn't there. Again, Joe has talked about these things himself. He recognizes he has to do better at times. It's just a matter of him incorporating it as he grows and learns. Those are things that will benefit him in the future too, not just this season. Not sure why that's a difficult concept.
