Burrow Less than Stellar in debut

[Gdale_Bengal]

Remember they signed Bobby hart to 3 years 24 million. He is almost single handedly killing burrow.

Burrow had 2.21 seconds to throw yesterday which was worst in the nfl yesterday. Even as a rookie who has no business carrying a team with competent veterans, yet he did and almost won the game.

The play calling was not as good as it should be. Taylor shouldn’t be running the ball on 2nd and 10, which leads to 3rd and long with that line.

Ross should not have played as many snaps as he did, Mixon needed more touches(19) playing with a lead, play him as a receiver in the flat, he is capable.

Where the F### was tyler Boyd, or Higgins.

These guys NEED to be involved!

Things arent looking good, jim.

Burrow’s gonna get killed behind that line. They HAVE to improve it next year. You dont want Burrow’s name mentioned in the same sentence as David Carr

Second half he really did better as Bosa took more breaks and you saw him scan the field more and work down the field a bit. Again, playcalling seemed fine and I especially like some of the backside crossers to Uzomah later in the game we set up with similar-looking runs earlier where he blocked down at the second level early then ran past them in route late. That was a play they stole straight out of the 49ers playbook.

I didn't like all of the empty sets on first and second downs early in the game and the scripted plays especially the run designs were ugly... Zac used a ton of different formations with alot of different substitutions which slowed the tempo.

I was not a fan.

Joe did not perform well overall especially in what he did well in college did not translate to his play yesterday. Hopefully thurs he will perform better

Jalen Hurts could have managed 23-36 for 193 and an interception. QBR of 20.2!!!

So that's it?  He gets one game and you're done with him?  My, how perfectly rational of you.

Oh man I was wondering when the "Chase Young Watch" would start.

That’s scary. Joe Burrow was a great draft pick and I don’t want history to repeat itself with Joe playing the part of Greg Cook.

Same. I think passer rating is THE stat regarding efficiency.

Gee whiz, do you remember Andy Dalton in that first preseason game versus Detroit?  I do, and I think that Joe did a little better.  In fact, he grew as the game wore on.  He put the team on his back, carried them to the 3 yard line, threw what should have been the game winning ball, only to get let down by circumstance.

Sure, he made plenty of rookie mistakes.  He did atone, and take the team under his control.  He can't control some things, like WR/DB hand fighting, how an official is going to view a play, etc.  When it came down to the wire, Joe was electric.  I haven't been that enthused as I was watching that drive, since the opening of the '05 playoff game, before seeing Palmer writhing on the ground.  Joe is a winner, he's here to do great things.

Is this a joke? I was nice, very nice and very fair. Anyone thinking my original post was dogging him needs to grow a pair.

It started around Christmas of last year. I just love the holidays.

Where was last year's second round draft choice? The team's second pick from the previous season!

He was the most sure thing in the draft. By the time the number 1 pick was ours, I was all for Joe Burrow, but Chase Young was the can't miss guy. We'd be 0-1 with Young too though, and I'm glad we took Burrow.

I saw a great college player not play up to his ability in his first NFL game and I did appreciate his candor that he admits the same.

My only problem with it is that it doesn't account for garbage time. 

I don't want a full-on nonsensical calculation like ESPN's attempt at a QB stat, but garbage time QB stat padding is a thing.

It also probably over-values extra conservative game managers a little.

No stat will be perfect I suppose, but I do agree that it's probably the best out there right now.

I’m more into rooting for Sam Hubbard and Michael Jordan myself, but hey...

Seeing UC players do well for other NFL teams does very little for me. I mean, good for them I guess, but if you’re not in stripes you’re the enemy as far as I’m concerned.

I'm a UK fan and it really pisses me off to see Dupree and Snell playing so well for Pitt.
