It all makes sense to me.

It makes sense to me, too...but this line ain't gonna gel by week 1.  What I'm saying is the argument is more along the lines of "Why risk Burrow when the games don't count?" rather than the notion that we aren't going to be holding our collective breath as Burrow is under assault later than sooner.

Chances are going to be taken with Burrow, but the notion is the games matter so chances need to be taken.  Maybe we luck out and the Vikings QB room is out on covid violations and we can treat week 1 as his "get right" game.
