But if there's even a .1% chance he can benefit from more rehab time then I would sit him for as long as it takes. I'm hoping the Bengals can keep this guy for the next decade plus, so I'm not going to sweat having to start Brandon Allen for a few games.
As far as if the team starts 2-2, or 3-1, or even 4-0, with Brandon Allen, no I don't think I'd let that group continue to play together if Burrow is ready to go. 1.) Burrow would be livid if he's healthy scratch. 2.) Allen isn't very good. Whatever record they can go with him they're perfectly capable of matching that level of play with Burrow.
if you have to sit burrow do you let taylor off the hook for early losses? imo anything less than a 2-2 start his time (taylor) should be over as we have wasted enough time on him
