Matt Stafford twice averaged 40+ throws a game. He didn't miss a start in either season.
Drew Bledsoe also threw 40+/game twice. He missed one game in those seasons.
Peyton Manning did it twice. Didn't miss a start.
Roethlisberger did it twice. He missed one game.
Matt Ryan did it twice. He missed one game.
Warren Moon did it twice. He missed one game.
Phillip Rivers and Tony Romo each did it once without missing a game.
Andy Dalton averaged 40+ passes a game in '19. He was benched for a few games, but he wasn't injured.
Tommy Kramer averaged 40+ a game over 14 games in '81.
The big outliers are Burrow and Joe Flacco. Flacco averaged 40+ a game three times, but only made it through 16 games once.
Also keep in mind that the Bengals averaged 65 plays on offense per game last year. They were actually tied for 17th in rushing attempts, so average.
This doesn’t deviate from the fact that more pass attempts leads to a higher chance of qb injury.
Rarely does a qb get hurt when he hands the ball off.
And we’ve been through this already, Bengals with Joe Burrow were top 3 in pass attempts.
You’re being disingenuous when you talk about the offense being balanced when that was only the case when our starting qb was injured
