But we still have some obvious holes and unknowns. IMO the biggest unknown is whether or not Taylor is a good NFL coach or he's just a guy who once shook hands with Sean McVey. I think if they avoid major injuries and only end up with 5 wins, he's just a guy. If they can get to 7-8+ wins, there might be something there.

I'm going with Sam Hubbard. I've been writing him off for the last two years. Not anymore. I'm on board the hype train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson is in a contract year, so I expect his numbers to go up a bit, including games played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Am I the only one here with high expectations of what to expect of Burrow his rookie year? I understand rookie QBs tend to really struggle and turn the ball over a bunch their first season, but I for some reason have the feeling Burrow is going to be good from the jump. He appears so much more mature (attitude and age wise) than other rookie QBs. Anyone else feeling this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am trying to temper my expectations as a fan (fanatic), but everything we have heard is that the offense is adapting to Burrow, not the other way around, and you do that when you believe in the talent. There will be turnovers, that happens with most rookie QB's, but with his quick release and decision making, I don't think it will be anything too out of hand. My prediction 4200+ yards 63+% completion percentage 30+ TD's 10-12 INTs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think him averaging near 2 TD passes per game isn't out of the realm of possibility, and I expect a few 3-4 TD games as well.

But I can see him exploding in a few games to pad his stas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
