re: The moment I was sold on Burrow. Brennan will get there as well.

Well, I love your positive outlook, but Burrow never looked like a deer in the headlights. He made mistakes, but never looked like he was scared of anyone.

MB needs to toughen up fast or the team is fricked.

I know this comment doesn't really add to the conversation... but,

In 2018 it 'felt' that Burrow was waiting for the offense to catch up to him.

It 'feels' like we're waiting for Brennan to catch up to the offense.

I agree wholeheartedly with your confidence comment.

The question is Brennan not trusting his training/instincts because of:
A) lack of experience
or
B) Those instincts aren't there.

The lack of confidence can be the cause, or the effect. One of those we're fricked. The other if everybody keeps doing their job, maybe with some extra reps thrown in, and doesn't panic it will get better... substantially.

I don't know which it is. Those screen captures of multiple open receivers with Brennan not being close to releasing the ball is worrisome. If he had confidence and chemistry he's throwing before they are open. He's not even throwing when they are open. I just don't know the why. The what is pretty obvious.
