Doesn’t help when you wide receivers are dropping perfectly good balls.

Yeah he hasn't been connecting down field but other than that he has been awesome. Honestly the guy has been terrific for us.

I will agree i love his short passing but to be elite he got to make throws down the field... if not he is just a solid QB like many others not a franchise qb but he is rookie so has time to move the bar

I think a big part of it has been the pressure and lack of running game. Also the WR's dropping balls and the lack of AJ Green playing at a high level. The deep passes will come, but as it is now, he's putting up over 300 yards per game so I see no reason to worry.

It also helps to have more than 3 seconds to throw it. This is the first game he's had any kind of protection to speak of and he went 'deep' 7 times.

He's missed a few throws sure... but I've seen plenty in this game alone against the Jags where the WR's are dropping the dang ball

I don't know man.  He threw 2 really well placed deep strikes, one to Higgins and the other to AJ.  If it were a game between two premier teams, I think that DPI could have easily been called on either or both of those plays.  Seeing it was a game between two bottom teams, I think they chose to hold the flags.

Tee Higgins hands worry me way more than Joe Burrow’s arm, that’s for damn sure.

The first deep pass to AJ was a perfect throw... if AJ wasn’t nursing a hammy

I remember this being a real bone of contention with a certain other QB. So it's funny to watch people justify it now.

In all seriousness though, Burrow will be fine. It's probably no coincidence that we're also bottom of the league in protecting the QB who isn't completing deep throws. Deep throws take time to develop. Wake me when we're actually giving him time and he still struggles for a significant period of time.

Also, as others have pointed out, we've dropped a few...and deep throws are never high % anyway. Even the best only complete roughly 30%. Give Burrow a couple that were dropped and he'd be at 20% which is actually quite normal.

He had 2 today that were just blatant drops by his receivers.

....... is this really a discussion right now?

LOL okay.... Dalton couldn't get his eyes off Green if he tried. 

This has everything to do with drops and the O-Line nothing else. 

Dalton career was made by Green he was never a franchise QB like Burrow has shown in 4 games.

I'm not sure what people expect.  Our WR group lacks speed and the ability to generate separation.  We have terrible personnel for trying to push the ball down the field in the air with chunk plays.  Even in the short-intermediate area, Burrow is squeezing a ton of throws in to well covered receivers.  The guy can only carry this WR group so far.

You're arguing against things I didn't say. Stop being so sensitive.

Which two plays?  Can you pinpoint them for me, I'd like to look at them again.

Were you referencing another QB? Kitna, Fitz, McCarron, Palmer? I just assumed Dalton.
