THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: Burrow vs Baker

You and I have a different set of eyes then.  I see a kid in his 2nd game that is 13 of 17... who missed a couple of throws.  But more importantly, has gotten to his 3rd read and smartly checked the ball down.  He made a couple of nice throws into tight windows.   The tight window throws were in single coverage.  And when he missed, he missed safely.   High out of the back of the end zone. Outside the boundary on the sideline.  

Burrow is raising the play of the team around him.  A 2-14 disaster from a year ago.  

Just watch and see how he does everything he can to keep pace with a stronger roster from behind. 

The poise will be obvious.

I saw this last week when he marched the team down the field and almost won it with a great pass only to have the receiver get forced out of bounds and have his kicker miss the gimme field goal.    The kid definitely is poised and as he gets more comfortable, you will see him taking more shots down the field.  The important thing for me is he looks like he belongs and not like a deer in the headlights.

Actually, it turns out I did need a hint, because I thought it was Sam.

Glad I was wrong, lol.

lol.

44 INTs for Jameis 2018-present.  Baker is just 8 away from topping him while Winston sits on the bench.

Darnold has 29 INTs from 2018-present.  He's missed too many games (6) to really be in the running for topping that abysmal list.  Yay?
