re: "Joe Burrow is so far ahead that Bengals coaches have asked him to slow down"

I think you missed the point of the OP. They are not slowing him down for his benefit. The OC said the other groups are not up to speed where he is at and they have to catch up.

I got that.

You know who else is ahead of the rest of the offense? Drew Brees with the Saints. Heck, he's probably ahead of half the offensive coaching staff. And that's good, because he can correct the players lining up, audible to a better play, etc.

For group meetings, yeah, ease back Joe. Stay on the same page as the group. But the coaches should give him everything he can handle right now, and wait until practice and camp meetings to throttle it in.

It doesn't matter if he's further ahead in the offense than his WR, as long as he has a feel on where that WR is at. He's the QB, he's the hub in this.
