Rich Eisen Might Take Back These Words: “He’s Currently Playing is a Shadow of the Joe Burrow”

The NFL season is in full swing, and this time, several NFL quarterbacks are facing heavy criticism due to their poor performances. Among them are Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and the current New York Jets QB, Zach Wilson. Additionally, another unexpected addition to this category is Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow. Despite a brilliant start to the season with earning the title of one of the highest-paid QBs earlier this month, things took a downturn as Joe Burrow and his team suffered back-to-back losses in Week 1 and Week 2 against the Browns and Ravens.

Following these losses, critical comments and criticism began pouring in for the Ohio State player. Although the 26-year-old quarterback recently led his team to their first victory against the Rams, fans and critics remain dissatisfied with his performance. In the midst of this, a well-known NFL analyst expressed his disapproval of Joe Burrow, reflecting a somber mood regarding the quarterback.

Is Rich Eisen feeling blue because of Joe Burrow?

The NFL analyst Rich Eisen never hesitates to share his thoughts and opinions about any NFL player. Most recently, on his Twitter account, Eisen expressed his thoughts on Joe Burrow. He tweeted, “Joe Burrow at whatever percent he’s currently playing is a shadow of the Joe Burrow we know. This is a shame.”

Burrow hasn’t been performing at his best this season so far. However, after observing his last matchup against the Rams, it seems like Burrow will bounce back soon. During Monday night football at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, Burrow demonstrated his dedication to his responsibilities.

After witnessing his spirited attitude, Eisen probably might need to reconsider his words in the future.

Joe Burrow proved his worth!

Approximately eight days before the Week 3 game against the Rams, Joe Burrow suffered a strained right calf injury. His availability to play at Paul Brown Stadium was in question. However, Burrow played every offensive snap and helped his team secure their first win of the season with a score of 19-16. Despite the calf issue, the 26-year-old pushed himself hard and took on the responsibility of winning.

Burrow’s passing stats included completing 26 of 49 attempts for 259 yards, without throwing any touchdowns and with one interception. In an interview before the matchup, Burrow displayed his leadership qualities and dedication, saying, “There is risk to go out there and potentially reinjure it. But there’s also the risk to not go out there and be 0-3. So I wanted to be out there for my guys, and I was confident that I would be able to do what I needed to get the win.”

This demonstrates his dedication to his team and winning, which will undoubtedly help him regain the title of one of the best in the NFL in the long run. Are you confident in Burrow’s abilities? Let us know in the comments below.
