We don’t know where Burrow will go. I do remember that Minshew was poised until he kept getting hit repeatedly. That’s when we started seeing the happy feet occasionally.

As for this year? I don’t know what his excuse is but good QBs sometimes regress before getting better. It isn’t like he’s a bad QB.

Maybe you don't, but I knew a future star when I see one. 

I never said Minshew was a bad QB. He isn't. He's just not a franchise QB. I see his ceiling being that of Jay Cutler and that's not what we are looking for.

How do you define a franchise QB? If you're talking about Patrick Mahommes or Russel Wilson, I completely agree he'll never be those guys. But surely a QB doesn't have to play like that to be a franchise QB. Right now there's not that much to differentiate the performance of Burrow from Murray from Minshew other than a little bit of arm strength. I think he *might* become a Deshaun Watson (as far as importance, not playing style) by his third or fourth year.  I don't think you want to give him to long to figure it out though. We should have a better idea by the end of this year. I wouldn't go on the basis of just the last two games.
