In his first press conference since signing his rookie deal, Cincinnati Bengals franchise quarterback Joe Burrow demonstrated grace, humility, and dedication. It’s that last quality that suggests he’ll be able to surprise cynics.
Bill Polian, among others, suggested that Burrow will struggle mightily:
“Joe Burrow’s gonna struggle. He’s gonna struggle. He’s so far behind now, lord.”
Now, before you get upset, remember that Polian came up as a scout before the internet, advanced analytics, or the complicated college offenses we see now. In other words, he doesn’t really know what Burrow does and does not know.
