I have always said he has the potential to be a very good QB.  But that is not enough  for some people.
I just find it funny that the same people that for years demanded that a QB prove he can win big games before he be anointed as great are now frothing at the mouth over a QB who has not accomplished anything of note in the NFL.  And that people who used to cliam that great QB don't need to be surrounded by great players because they "make everyone around them better" are now saying "We have to get an O-line and a better TE, and a better play caller so Burrow can win".
I am thrilled that we had a chance to get one of the best QB prospects in years when we crashed so bad to get the #1 overall pick.  We had to move on from Dalton.  But I have always had a more realistic view of Burrow because I actually watched him play in 2018 when he was in his 4th season of college ball but did not have a record number of NFL draft picks or an NFL level OC.  He was good but far from great.
He was a much higher rated prospect than Dalton.  He should become a much better NFL QB, but just a few months ago people were telling me he did not need an O-line because he was better under pressure than throwing from a clean pocket.  And that he was going to fix our offense just by "holding players accountable". Those are the people I have most disagreements with.  But unfortunately any comment that is less than "Burrow can walk on water" is considered "hate" around here right now.

Patently false. He’s already set how many rookie records through half a season?
