Old Mossy Horns
If I was Cincinnati, I would do anything to sucker a team like Carolina into a trade that would get a bunch of future #1 picks and their best players. While everyone is going wild over Burrows, he was just an average QB until the right coordinator came along. He broke the championship TD record of Heisman trophy winner Matt Leinart. The NFL is filled with Heisman busts. There is no guarantee that his skills will transfer well in the NFL. Or that Brady's schemes will transfer to the NFL.
There are plenty of QB's who are just a coordinator away from being average. Being in the right system helps immensely. If they tried to make Lamar Jackson a pocket passer like Tom Brady, he'd have average numbers too. Whatever Joe Brady did with Burrow, it turned into one of if not the greatest collegiate QB performance ever and quite possibly the best offensive performance in the history of college football and that was only 3 years removed from Les Mile's offenses which were atrocious. I just don't see that as a coincidence to write off Burrow. The guy was crazy accurate.
