Burrow was on pace to be blitzed 221 times before his injury. That would have been second most in the league. When the opposing DC is confident that he can single up your receivers because they can't win downfield, it invites him to pull guys out of coverage and send them after your QB.
Offenses aren't a one way street. Everyone can help or hinder the effectiveness of everyone else.
It doesn't matter how quickly the receivers get open, unless you are going to do nothing but short routes, they have to have time to run the deep routes. They can have 4 feet of separation, if the QB is on the turf it doesn't matter.
